Half-Life Hints

How do I break through the barrier in one of the main tram tunnels?

  • 1 of 5: One of the main tunnels dead-ends at a barrier. You can kind of see through it, farther down into the tunnel, but you cannot break through it using conventional weapons.
  • 2 of 5: Something of immense weight moving at a quick pace may be able to break through this barrier.
  • 3 of 5: Notice that the tracks run under the barrier and through to the other side.
  • 4 of 5: The tram car is powerful enough to break through the barrier.
  • 5 of 5: You have to speed into the barrier while riding the tram car.
