Half-Life Hints
How do I get the cargo elevator started?
1 of 6: The elevator is not currently at your floor so you will have to call it up.
2 of 6: The elevator must have a trigger somewhere. Perhaps the control room overlooking the elevator contains it.
3 of 6: It does. Pull the lever to call the elevator up.
4 of 6: Watch out behind you, though. A zombie will break through the door that is near the elevator lever. The room is filled with explosives so be sure to aim for the zombie only.
5 of 6: Or just quickly toss a hand grenade into the room and back away to blow up the zombie and all the explosives in the room. You can then enter the room to find a few useful supplies.
6 of 6: Once the elevator has been called, climb the ladder down to it and you will see a switch that will allow you to take it down.
