Alien Slaves, also referred to as vortigaunts, are slaves from the alien planet Xen ordered by their master (whoever that may be) to kill anything that isn't from Xen, specifically humans. At long range, they attack by an electrical charge. When met at close range, they attack with their claws, causing more damage than their electric bolt. You will know when a vortigaunt is about to attack because they will charge up their bolt for a couple of seconds, emitting green electricity into the air. When this happens, it is best to find cover because, even if you are moving, a vortigaunt's electric attack hardly ever misses a target in its range. Vortigaunts are best taken on with the [[Half-Life/Weapons#Assault Shotgun|shotgun]] at close range or with the [[Half-Life/Weapons#9mm Pistol|pistol]] at longer ranges. | Alien Slaves, also referred to as vortigaunts, are slaves from the alien planet Xen ordered by their master (whoever that may be) to kill anything that isn't from Xen, specifically humans.

On Hard difficulty Alien Slaves are able to execute their electrical charge attack much faster, but can be prevented from doing so if shot couple of times before completing their charge sequence using either the MP5 or the Shotgun. | |||
