- Overview

This mod adds the Hivehand weapon from the original Half-Life game into Counter-Strike 1.6 Zombie Mod.

The original public implementation suffered from long-standing issues such as compilation errors, broken WeaponMod dependencies, HUD problems, animation bugs, ammo regeneration issues, and general incompatibility with Zombie Mod logic.

This release is a full technical rework, not a simple recompile.

• Targets: Zombies only (does not damage humans)
  
  
• Cost: 20 Ammo Packs
  
  
• Damage: 90 HP per hornet
  
  
• Fire Modes:
  
  
  • Primary Fire
    
    
  • Alternate Fire
    
    
• Ammo System:
  
  
  • Starts with 8 hornets
    
    
  • Hornets regenerate automatically over time (classic Half-Life behavior)
    
    
• Balance Notes:
  
  
  • No effect on Nemesis
    
    
  • Strong at medium to long range
    
    
  • Weak at close range due to slow fire rate after the initial burst
    
    

This behavior matches the original Hivehand design while remaining balanced for Zombie Mod gameplay.
