The headcrab will erase the cortex for further movement, and after an hour, it will succeed in fully taking control of the human. In simple terms, the headcrab will attempt to tightly position itself onto a victim's head, after being tightly locked on it will cut into the victims skull so it can get access to the brain, once given access to the brain, the victim will receive several disabilities such as blindness, brain damage, and more. Excuse me for any grammatical errors, i've tried my best to erase all of them. Half-Life:Alyx is available now on PC with a Valve Index VR headset, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest (with PC cable) or Windows Mixed Reality.
