Survey-Team

The Survey-Team is a group composed of highly qualified and skilled employees consisting mostly of Scientists but can incorporate subjects from other departments. They're tasked with collecting samples from Xen, due to the varying hazards encountered on the job it may well be considered the most dangerous.

H.E.V MK-IV

The Hazardous Environment Mark Four is a hazardous materials suit specifically designed for the Black Mesa Scientist Department, it was developed to aid in the handling of hazardous materials and for distant travels to the borderworld of Xen. It is most effective when fully charged, being able to absorb blunt-force trauma, energy discharges, and many more hazards.

The H.E.V MK IV includes an onboard computer system to monitor the user's vital signs and even a built-in weapons system to inform you of basic needs such as the weaponry you're handling, ammunition reserves, etc. And even has the ability to prevent oxygen-deprivation

Notice: Any fall damage encountered will be absorbed directly by the user, the suit will not shield you from falling.
