Riding Shotgun - Carnage

Description
Hardcore remake of Riding Shotgun. First play on hard is not advised.
Recommend Vanilla normal. Merciless if you eat bees for breakfast.
Keep Moving! AI tries to pin you down.
Begins slow but escalates quick.
Unique playthroughs, enemies spawn at fixed but randomized points

Disclaimer:
Initially I wanted to make this a large update of Riding Shotgun, but I changed the difficulty too much.
So this is now a hardcore version for an already quite challenging map.
It can be frustrating to play especially when you are new in HL-A - try out the non-carnage version here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790671288

Story:
You are Alyx Vance, the Combine don't know you survived the crash in the collapsed tunnel.
Your mission is to send a secret message using Combine Tech.
- Find/Use biometrics to access and lower force fields
- Restore Combine Tech energy to the radio station
- Send secret data
- Fight of Combine and escape through mountain road
- ~45 Minutes playtime
- 59 Resin
- Grunts shooting shotguns a the rate of the SMG
- Killing barnacles with oil barrels (your personal HL2 moment)

Used Assets:
HL2 Remade Assets Definitive Edition Part 1,3,4
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2438227263

Additional Sounds from:
HL2 Soundtrack + VO (EP1/2)
Quake 2 Soundtrack
GlaDos TTS
Uberduck AI TTS

Would be nice to get your comments
Enjoy and take it easy

Did not like it.

The cliffs all around made me feel like I was in a box. So I played for about 5 minutes before I just couldn't stand it anymore.

I really don't understand how these modifications of the great game HL:Alyx can obtain 4-5 stars. It makes it extremely difficult to actually find quality work when people can make maps like this that get too many thumbs up and somehow appear to compete with the very high quality modifications such as Arcane Path or Red Dust. They are *NOT* remotely in the same ballpark.

Oh well, back to the slog of playing through 4-5 star mods that don't deserve the ratings in the hopes of finding those few that do.

FYI - I don't get any pre-Reviver headcrabs, just the ant lions

@drobertbaker thanks for reporting this issue. Haven't heard of that before.
I'll take a look at what could cause that bug.
The Reviver fight is initiated by a simple trigger that fires when the player walks over it.

Although I've tried several replays, I don't get the lightning dog, so I don't get its heart, so I can't get through the gate. I just kill many ant lions, get the eyepiece, and WANDER AROUND UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD. It's fun, but I have to quit. Sorry!

You need the combine eye piece that is hidden in the combine locker
Also may have a look at the playthrough that is in the description
You should prepare yourself before going into that cave

Maybe your download is incomplete - try to troubleshoot unsubscribe/subscribe
Start the game after download is complete, activate the addon.
It now should appear in Start New Game - Addon Maps

Fantastic update and extremely challenging, especially with the shotgun grunts. My playthru on Merciless Hard: https://youtu.be/5aXuc4D7yhQ
