Core Combine technology

Typically with the Core Combine, most of their technological development is towards the singular purpose of warfare. Any race that faces the Core Combine will likely immediately note their heavy use of gravity and anti-gravity based weaponry, especially in space battles. On the ground the Core mostly employs smaller amounts of graviton weaponry and mostly sticks to plasma and lasers.

Gravity Based Weaponry

As said before, in space battles, especially mounted on their starships, gravity and anti-gravity based weaponry are a common sight. From basic gravity missiles which create short burst of unstable gravity fields to the much more powerful devastator class graviton bombs, designed to wipe out the surfaces of planets and decimate fleet formations, the Core are one of the few masters of gravity based weaponry. (Aside from say, the Wexxians)

Bio-technology

Bio-technology is another heavily employed type of technology in the Core Combine, you can see it everywhere from the organic armored hulls of their ships  the bionic armor and enhancements on their slaves and soldiers to the many horrible genetically engineered monstrosities the Core employs, bio-tech is an integral part of Combine technology.

Hands down terraforming spores are one of the Core's most infamous weapons, responsible for permanent destruction of multiple exotic ecosystems and the assimilation of multiple species. Upon subjugation, or deployment of ground forces, the Core will rain down capsule like pods which upon exploding in the air will rain down terraforming spores upon a planet, once the spores have reached the planet they are generally nearly impossible to get rid of. The effects of the spores upon reaching a planet is the increased amount of vegetation and the transformation of animal life, the reason Core spores are so difficult to get rid of is because once the spores enter a plant, the plant biology will be manipulated to produce strange pod like growths which will create spores from them which will in turn infect more plants, upon making their way into an animal they seem to make their way to multiple parts of the animals biology from the brain to the muscle system, even the nervous system, the spores  begin manipulating the DNA its self, causing several changes in its offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as giving it loyalty to the Core. But that is only the beginning of the spores threat, for you see when inhaled by sentient the spores take a while to actually force any type of loyalty to the Core, so the spores instead have the lesser effect of encouraging sluggish behavior and if not dealt with soon could cause entire planetary population to lose their will to fight back, which makes conquest and assimilation much easier
