The Vortigaunt Camp is a Resistance base seen in the Half-Life 2 chapter Sandtraps. Resistance members often travel to the camp to retrieve Bugbait, which helps keep Antlions under control.

[edit] Overview
A well concealed Resistance base on the Coast, it is the closest known base to Nova Prospekt, the Combine prison.
[edit] Features
The Vortigaunt Camp is located between two canyon walls. It has no buildings but it does have shanties, where Resistance soldiers and Vortigaunts sleep, eat, and keep the wounded. It is very well equipped, having many supplies and Medkits. There are two entrances to the Vortigaunt Camp. The first is through a doorway by a wall, mounted with an Emplacement Gun. The other entrance is a way through a small cave, leading to the beach, then Nova Prospekt. This entrance is sealed by logs attached to a generator-powered winch system.
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Half-Life 2
Gordon Freeman arrives at the Vortigaunt Camp after leaving on foot Lighthouse Point, the previous Rebel base. On his way, he comes across two Rebels who were heading to the camp, Sandy and Laszlo. Laszlo is wounded on the sand and Sandy tells Gordon to stay off the sand to avoid bringing Antlions. Laszlo is killed by Antlions and Gordon proceeds, leaving Sandy mourning the loss of his friend.
Upon Gordon's arrival, an Antlion Guard appears from the ground and starts attacking him. With the help of a Resistance member using the Emplacement Gun mounted above the first entrance, Gordon is able to kill the creature. Right after, a Vortigaunt retrieves Pheropods from the downed Antlion Guard, then leads Gordon through the camp, where he instructs him on the use of Pheropods. Gordon then leaves the camp and heads to Nova Prospekt, now with Antlions on his side.
[edit] Trivia
- Near the entrance of the camp, two Vortigaunts are conversing in Vortigese. They shortly interrupt their conversation when approached by the player; one apologizes to Gordon for communing by flux shifting in front of "those whose vortal inputs are impaired", and adds that they will continue vocalizing in Gordon's auditory language as a matter of courtesy unless they wish to say unflattering things about him. Quite humorously, they then resume conversing in Vortigese.
- The door to the main entrance to the camp appears to have been retrieved from a shipwreck. The door model was originally made for the Borealis and is still located in the folder "props_borealis", like the blue barrel model, among others.
