BEST PAIRED WITH: Lynch's NPCs Item Drops, NPC Weapon Switching


Lynch’s NPCs Essentials is an AI overhaul and quality-of-life addon that enhances the behavior of most default Half-Life 2 NPCs. Its main objective is to address the unintelligent and rigid nature of the original AI by making NPC-vs-Player and NPC-vs-NPC battles more dynamic, reactive, and meaningful.

The addon leverages the map’s NavMesh system to provide advanced logic for cover-seeking, flanking, fallback positions, repositioning, and more. Despite its extensive feature set, Lynch’s NPCs Essentials is designed with performance in mind and includes a wide range of configurable options for fine-tuning behavior to your liking.
