Half-Life Hints
How do I survive the firebomb?
1 of 7: Once you drop down into the shaft that has water at the bottom, you should begin moving through the pipe that stems from this shaft.
2 of 7: When you get about 1/3 of the way into the pipe, a soldier will open the end of the pipe and toss a firebomb in.
3 of 7: This firebomb will kill you no matter what, if you are not protected.
4 of 7: You need to find cover quickly.
5 of 7: The only cover nearby is the water. It should work, though.
6 of 7: Quickly back out of the pipe and back into the shaft.
7 of 7: Drop down into the water and crouch. You will avoid any injury from the firebomb.
