The Hazardous Environment Vehicle

(HL1 Part 3) Gordon is equipped with the HEV. Sometimes it's called a suit, when people say the suit here, they mean the HEV. Gordon isn't a superhero, he's just a fairly average guy with advanced technology. The HEV is like power armor or like the power loader from the first Alien film, I suppose. Most art and pictures from the game will show just the armor without a helmet for the dramatics or the emotion of it, but during the entirety of the game moving forward, Gordon will be in head to toe sealed armor, like an armored haz-mat suit, keep that in mind.
