She fires her pistols extremely fast, will jump to the side to occasionally dodge shots, and generally attempts to avoid the player if they get close. Unlike the Alien Assassin, the Female Assassin has fully working AI. Her head texture also has two Easter eggs of a monster's face and the artist's signature. This is most easily seen when she is dodging. The Female Assassin has a unique effect on her helmet that makes red afterimages appear from her eye when she moves. Interestingly, she's also wearing boots with heels very similar to Chell's from Portal. Her outfit's design resembles the final game's Combine Elite quite a bit, albeit much slimmer obviously. The Female Assassin, unrelated to the Alien Assassin, is effectively a Combine version of the Assassins from Half-Life, right down to dual-wielding pistols (which have broken textures this can be fixed by adding the pistol's VTF models to her texture folder). In a default installation, the Assassin's model uses an older format (v35), making it impossible to load in-game without converting it to the v37 model format.Īccording to Raising the Bar, the Assassin eventually became the Fast Zombie. He has no stats, so it's impossible to see how much health he had and how much damage his attacks did.

There is also an animation called "inspect" where he looks down, and another one called "inspectalert" where he reels back afterward, presumably after the "inspect" animation was being played. Sounds indicate that he was supposed to be able to fire electrical balls at the player and play a silly taunt sound. Generally, his animations suggest that the Assassin was to be a fast opponent that would be able to take large jumps. Like the Cremator, the Assassin lacks proper code, but his animations indicate he was able to toss knives, slash with his claws, activate smoke with a button on his left hand, and toss something called "Tripwire" like a grenade. The Assassin, often called Alien Assassin, is a lanky alien with pale skin, wearing a black outfit and cybernetic eyes extending out of his eye sockets.
