Confiscation Field

Safe

The Confiscation Field is a Combine device seen several times in the Citadel.

Half-Life 2
The first time, Gordon Freeman is stripped from all his weapons save the Gravity Gun, which is transformed into the Dark Energy Field Manipulator. The HEV Suit also undergoes changes, turning into a more powerful suit. Another device is located near the entrance of Breen's office, and is used to take the modified Gravity Gun from Gordon.

Half-Life 2: Episode One
At the start of the game, the Gravity Gun is back to normal. When Gordon and Alyx go back into the Citadel, they go through two other Confiscation Fields, a first broken one, then a second, working, that transforms again the Gravity Gun. It later comes back to normal without going into another Confiscation Field.

Trivia
The model used in the Confiscation Field is named "weaponstripper.mdl". It is also used in the Energy Orb-powered horizontal generators.
