Half-Life: Alyx - Gunman Contracts - Chapter 1 - The Extraction by ANB_Seth [MERCILESS]

Skummeh's Rating: 8/10

Hard difficulty on the base map is basically the same difficulty as Merciless (3 enemy bullets kill you), except the enemies disappear when killed instead of ragdolling. I'd recommend not using Merciless for this map.

I primarily create these videos to provide feedback to the creators and hints to those playing. I'm not interested in growing my channel, but do appreciate if anyone gets enjoyment out of watching. Unless otherwise specified, all of my recordings are my first time playing a map. I primarily play Alyx on Hard difficulty and I use the following launch options:

-console -vconsole -novid +hlvr_main_menu_delay 1 -fullscreen +sv_gameinstructor_disable 1

Sometimes I adjust the smooth locomotion speed of Alyx with: +hlvr_continuous_normal_speed 200 +hlvr_continuous_combat_speed 200

Other times I leave the above at default and adjust the host_timescale CVAR to increase the overall game speed.

If I do either of the above, it will be explained in the description and/or in the video.

I have the Valve Index kit with a 2x3m playspace. AMD Ryzen-3600, 16GB RAM and the RTX 2070 Super.
