Half-Life Hints
I need a weapon!
1 of 6: Once inside the plant, you will see a security guard fight some headcrabs and then run off.
2 of 6: You need that gun.
3 of 6: Once you have a chance, follow the path that the security guard took.
4 of 6: He unfortunately ran into some barnacles.
5 of 6: Grab his gun. If you get caught by a tentacle, try to switch to your crowbar and deal with the tentacle that way rather than use up the precious ammo in the gun.
6 of 6: Also note that there's a spare clip lying on the floor in the room the guard started out in.
