Half-Life Hints
How do I avoid the mechanical jaws when I drop off of the last conveyor?
1 of 4: You will eventually jump off one of the conveyors and into a kind of processing funnel.
2 of 4: Anything that falls into the funnel will slide down towards some bone-crushing mechanical jaws that pulverize whatever passes out of the funnel.
3 of 4: You obviously do not want to be pulverized. Therefore, try to hang back on the lip of the jaws and wait for them to open long enough to jump through. This requires perfect timing as the jaws have a relative thickness to them and close very quickly.
4 of 4: Ignore the headcrabs that are jumping in. They will be killed by the jaws.
