What Makes This Weapon Great Ep.17: Half Life Crowbar

This is episode 17 of “What Makes This Weapon Great?” Join me as we take a quick dive into what makes the Crowbar from Half Life! We’ll be checking out its stats, art, design, as well as its tech. The Half-Life Crowbar is proof that you don't need a BFG or a Railgun to be iconic. Sometimes, all you need is a solid piece of steel and a lot of crates to smash. It’s the weapon that started the journey, and even when Gordon is handed a Gravity Gun in Half-Life 2, he still makes sure to keep his trusty crowbar by his side.
