In video games you can always find weapons that do not really exist, but whose concept is simply amazing. Today we’ll talk about the gravity gun, the concept of which first appeared in the popular game Half-Life.
What is it
Gravipushka is the most common, useful and, sometimes, destructive weapon in the Hal-Life universe. Its use depends on the various situations in which the player falls, which makes it possible to be creative in interacting with surrounding objects.
The weapon quickly fell to the taste of both the players and the press, who positively commented on such a successful innovative experiment of the developers. Subsequently, more and more games began to use special mods for the gravitational gun.
Using
If an alternative attack is used, the gravitational gun will be able to drag a variety of objects (whose size should not exceed the car) inside a special field. Thus, the object hangs right in the air in front of the player. Another press of the button will cause the weapon to stop holding the item and it will fall to the ground.
In the case of using the main attack, an object held by a gravitational field will fly off to the side. If you attract and discard things sequentially, then the power of the shock beam will increase several times.
To arm yourself with a gravitational gun, just press the G key. Switching to the previous weapon occurs on the same principle.
Helpful information
Having figured out what the gravitational gun is, we decided to share a few more important points:
- It attracts all objects except organic matter and those objects that are screwed to the ground.
- The strength and throwing distance of a thing is determined by its weight and size. So, a small jar or box will fly faster and further than average batteries or mechanisms. As for cars, they can only be pushed a little.
- Some items will fit in the role of shells, with which you can inflict damage to enemies.
- To reach the heights, it is enough to pile a few things. It is the gravitational gun that is suitable for this task as well as possible.
- With its help, you can also easily clear the blockage and pick up supplies that are out of direct reach.
- If you raise the cabinet into the air, a good shield will come out of it against the enemy’s shells. They can also block the passage.
- The transfer of exploding barrels is possible, but requires extreme caution.
- Using gravitational force, you can carry additional bundles of first-aid kits or cartridges with you, but only one at a time. Thus, the player will always have excess stock at hand.
- When it comes to menhacks and scanners, they can be attracted to themselves, and then thrown into the wall or into the water. This is one of the best ways. If you are smart, then menhak can be turned into a handsaw.
- The strength of the gravity field can block grenades flying towards the player, preventing them from exploding. As for energy balls, they can not be caught, but they can be controlled so as to win an advantage over the enemy.
Appearance in third-party games
It's no secret that the great popularity of the gravigun has provoked its numerous appearance in other projects. A great merit in this belongs to the moderators, who took a direct part in the proliferation of such famous weapons. Surely a lot of gamers at least once asked questions about how to find a gravitational gun in "Stalker: Combat Training 2", "GTA 5" and in many other games. Such a popular universe as Minecraft did not stand aside.
In order to add a gravitational gun to Minecraft, you need to download a special mod, which is called the Gravity Gun Mod. Thanks to him, an exact copy of the weapon, so beloved by all Half Life fans, appears in the game. The gravipushka is never superfluous, and thanks to its amazing capabilities, even in the most boring gameplay, many fun moments will surely appear.
With this weapon you can easily manipulate mobs, tossing them into the air and dropping down from the hills. Thus, an excellent means of protection against aggressive monsters appears. Both creative mode and survival are available for the game.
