Chapter 6: Arms Race
After freeing the Vortigaunt, Alyx continues to inch her way closer and closer to the Vault while it works to liberate the other substations powering the massive structure. However, Combine have begun swarming into the QZ en masse, including heavy units known as Suppressors. With no direct path to the Vault, she must worm and fight her way through a long abandoned construction site in hopes of getting closer to it.

Notes:
- Shooting at the Combine Captain at 2:21 will prompt him to return fire, then retreat through the hallway
- The Combine Suppressor (8:35) is a newly introduced heavy Combine unit that prefers to stay back and shower Alyx with minigun fire. The gun itself appears to be Pulse-fed and the soldier carries ammo packs on his back
- The tripmines at 23:38 can be triggered by throwing a prop at them from around the corner, as opposed to having to defuse them
- I did not use the Fabricator at 37:54 because I am saving up for the SMG's Extended Magazine
Trivia:
- At 4:21, Russell mentions Eli's missing leg. He lost it to a Bullsquid while helping Kleiner get into City 17, according to the HL2 book Raising the Bar
- It can be noticed that the sun is starting to set during this chapter (6:27). This is similar to the events of the chapter Water Hazard in HL2, where the sun progressively got lower and lower as Freeman makes his way to Eli's lab
- At 13:14, an unmasked Combine Grunt can be seen. It can be observed that they lack eyes and their skin has been discoloured due to the extensive genetic modifications
- The song that plays & loops at 24:48 is called "Steam in the Pipes", and previously played in HL1 in "Lambda Core" when the portal to Xen is warming up, and also in HL2 as "Negative Pressure" in the chapter "Our Benefactors" when Freeman is making his way to Breen's office
- The tripmine room at 24:48 is a direct callback to HL1's explosives room in the chapter "Surface Tension", as well as the tripwire room in the Nexus Building in HL2, and the vent trap in HL2EP2's "Urban Flight" chapter
- The area shown at 28:48 was used as the map for Valve's third gameplay video of the game, though the enemies encountered have been changed since
