9 Video Game Enemies That Help You Defeat Them

9. The Hunters - Half Life 2

Hunters are fast and agile synthetic beings used by the Combine as a scout and escort, featuring as a prominent enemy in Half Life 2 Episode 2. Their true strength comes from their numbers, and they can easily outnumber you, flanking and surrounding you and pelting you with covering fire.

Like all synths, they are heavily armoured, and are resilient against attacks from most small firearms. However, turning their own bullets against them proves to be a very reliable way of dispatching them!

Using the Gravity Gun, you can reverse their own, large flechette bullets that they shoot at you by holding up an object to catch the bullets, and then sending it flying back at them. You will even get an achievement for doing this, called “Payback” and, man, does it feel good. It’s even possible to kill several hunters at once with a single explosive payback blast from your gravity gun.

Thanks for the free ammunition, guys!
