They are seen preparing headcrab as food, and their history with Antlion husbandry could prove handy in the future. They are able to communicate with all Vortigaunts instantly, an asset that they use to spy on the Combine in such places like Nova Prospekt ( Vorti-Cells were Combine made devices to stop Vortigaunt communication, but were cut from the game). The Vortigaunts, as stated above, are intelligent, wise and very well versed in combat. Perhaps the greatest asset to the Resistance is the Vortigaunts. Despite the Combine rule, the Resistance science teams have created weapons like the Magnusson Device and the Gravity Gun, and a teleporter smaller and more advanced than the Combine's teleporter at Nova Prospekt. Cars, watercraft, and structures are built by hand. Humanity also uses its existing technology well, scavenging and repairing radios, transmitters, receivers, T.V. In order to distinguish converted Combine tech, they will often be sprayed with lambdas, or in the case of a turret, WWII style nose-cone shark teeth. Breen's Public address system, among others. Aside from weapons and armor, the Resistance has been seen to utilize the Hopper Mine, the Turret, the Thumper, the Rollermine, and Dr. In the Combine controlled world, humanity readily utilizes stolen Combine technology.

The Resistance is also aided by citizens, who help the troops and refugees by leaving behind caches full of food, weapons, ammo, and medical supplies. The core Resistance army is divided into four sections: regular resistance troops, who are fully-fledged resistance members, equipped with body armor and supplies (some are trained medics as well) the civilian militia forces, who are citizens who have just gained weapons the refugees, who are tasked with aiding the escape of civilians and fighting the Civil Protection and the Vortigaunts, a very intelligent Xen species, who are adept at combat, and are able to use the Vortessence to spy on Combine activities. Gordon Freeman is a man of very high regard among Resistance members, something of a personal hero to them, due to the fact that he was able to not only survive the Black Mesa Incident (which only eleven people are confirmed to have survived, and even fewer confirmed to have survived the Seven Hour War), but actually put an end to it.

Scientists such as Eli Vance command the research division, whereas leaders such as Barney Calhoun and Gordon Freeman tend to command the combat section. The Resistance is divided into two areas: Combat and Research.

Eli Vance is the closest thing to a central leader that the resistance has, while Barney Calhoun, Arne Magnusson, Alyx Vance, Isaac Kleiner, and Gordon Freeman are examples of smaller scale Resistance leaders, usually leading smaller attacks with guerrilla tactics and small squads or assisting Gordon, their most capable asset, in any way possible. However, there are numerous central figures in the resistance that are keeping small clusters across the cities organized. The Resistance has no central command structure due to The CombineвЂ™s method of controlling the populace, as it was made incredibly difficult to try and coordinate anything without being caught.
