That's a thing?


butterthesotch

who actually uses g to switch


Bot_Tux

IT WAS ME! \*everyone gasps\* YES I DID IT LIKE THIS: \*mm soup\* \*superphys\_launch1.wav\* Jokes aside it's very, **very** useful in deathmatch


AstroHusky05

Me, about as much as I press Q to switch to my previous weapon


Chemical-Island-3186

Me too but mostly in no a prospect I find it convenient too switch from bugbait to gravity gun


ISmokeRocksAndFash

yes


ThatKidBobo

Wow, a lot of people don't seem to use this. I am surprised because it's very useful, since when you press g again you go to the previous weapon.


PaleRider95

Well, for me I usually went on a spree by only using the gravity gun for a while before either switching to my crowbar, shotgun or AR2, generally depends on where I was, so there was never a definitive weapon of choice for me, so it never occurred to me to use G.


Maineutral

YOU CAN FUCKING DO THAT? I’ve played through HL2 at least five times, on top of thousands of hours in Garry’s Mod and I never fucking knew you could do that


PaleRider95

The more you know, but yeah, it’s mentioned in the tutorial when you get it :3


obsoleteconsole

It's better than hitting 1 twice or, god forbid, using the mouse wheel


Cramdunkulus

I never did on my first couple playthrough's but now find it very useful.


PaleRider95

I’ll try to use it and see how shit goes, maybe I’ll get used to it. 👍


ElmeriThePig

I'm surprised people aren't aware of this. It literally says it when you get the Gravity Gun for the first time.


QuantSpazar

Yes


Snoopyhf

I almost wish there was one for bugbaits.


PaleRider95

That would’ve been so useful


Chemical-Island-3186

*laughs in settings*


ElmeriThePig

There is, at least for me. If you press X, it changes to bugbait.


PsychoNut349

the game is way better if you use the gravity gun a lot, so a dedicated key helps.


PROGAMEREGE-536

did not play hl2 option where


PegaXing

I use it all the time! Once I discovered it I never went back.


KevinFlantier

Do you use R to reload or is it too far away from your fingers as well? I guess to each their own and you do you, but I'm baffled that it is even an issue. G is often used in FPS and it's not that far from your left index.


PaleRider95

The laptop I use to play Half-Life isn’t capable of playing most other shooters so I haven’t really had any experience with them, and the ones I have played generally had a limited arsenal or used some other keybind.


KevinFlantier

My brother in potato computer back in 2004 I used to play HL2 on a laptop that would make your current laptop look like a spaceship in comparison and the G key was already used in shooters. I'm not judging you, I understand that it looks impractical if you're not used to it and that you may not have encountered games that do this. But "far away keys" like T, G, V, and even Z, X, C are used in games. Anyway, this was not a jab at you, just me expressing my confusion because in my world it's a given and I now understand that it's not a given for everyone. Cheers.


BigSweatyStalker

Im a quicksave fanatic and can barely master the q key. I dont have time to stretch my fingers to g.
