Severian's Mod is a classic server-side modification for Half-Life that introduced unique gameplay mechanics, weapon tweaks, and quirky features. Since it is server-side only, players don’t need to install anything — just join a server running it.

Known for its creative reimagining of Half-Life’s weapons and mechanics, Severian’s Mod balances skill, speed, and strategy while keeping the gameplay lighthearted and unpredictable.
