Shephard goes through basic training for the player to learn the mechanics of the game.

The rifle itself is a brush using the entity "func_tank", not affected by the console code "notarget". Killing the HECU Sniper, consisting of a human shooting target using the "func_breakable" entity, makes both the rifle and the silhouette brushes disappear.An easier way to take down the Gene Worm is to disable the eyes with the mounted guns then fire a single shot into the portal in its stomach (the void behind the portal is the vulnerable area).In Deathmatch and easier difficulties one can use the M40A1 unscoped to kill single enemies just as well as the shotgun due to its perfect accuracy and high power.This preserves M40A1 ammo, which can be very helpful for later on. If an enemy takes more than one shot from this weapon to be killed, one should simply take one shot at the enemy, then switch to the Desert Eagle or the M249 and finish it off.There is little ammo for this weapon throughout the game, so targets should be selected wisely.However, headshots can still kill those targets in one hit. In Hard mode, some strong enemies that used to take one bodyshot before dying (such as Shock Troopers) now take two.One should try to pick off strong targets, such as Shock Troopers, that would otherwise take a lot of ammo and time to kill at close range. The M40A1 is best used to kill enemies in one shot from long range.It also has perfect accuracy, no matter what the player is doing when it is fired.įor the tactics related to Half-Life, see the HECU Sniper article. To compensate for this, the M40A1 fires hitscan projectiles that strike targets immediately. The M40A1 is a bolt-action rifle, resulting in slower firing speed, much slower than that of the Crossbow.In the campaign, it can first be found in the chapter Foxtrot Uniform from the only sniper assassin in the game.In Opposing Force, the M40A1 is first introduced by Senior Drill Instructor Barnes in the Sniper Range at Santego Military Base, during the training chapter.They inflict less damage in the source port. With this rifle, the HECU Sniper is able to drain a player's health in only a few hits, more so if they don't have any power in ther HEV suit.The fourth and last HECU Sniper to be seen is found in the next map, in the same chapter, hiding in a window beside the barracks. They add to the threat that the Land Mines and the Tripmines spread around the building already pose.

In the chapter Surface Tension, two Snipers are spread around the Ordinance Storage Facility in the Topside Motorpool, and have shot a security guard who dies when Freeman reaches him. The M40A1 is first introduced near the end of the Half-Life chapter On A Rail in Sector E Materials Transport, right before the High Altitude Launch Center.
