A Health Charger as seen in Black Mesa. Left to right: full charge and depleted.

Overview

The Health Charger is a healing charger which lets the user recover lost hitpoints over several seconds, unlike the medkit, which lets the user instantly regain a set amount of lost hitpoints. To use the Health Charger, simply press and hold the +"use" key in the direction and proximity of the charger.

Gameplay

The charger has a set amount of supply for healing hitpoints, which can run out when used up.

The healing level is indicated on the charger screen by a precise status bar, which runs out while in use. The screen also emits a red dynamic light that will turn dark and stop glowing once all the supply is depleted.
