Half-Life Hints
How do I destroy the alien auto-turret?
1 of 5: The alien auto-turret does not have an override switch.
2 of 5: Treat it like a tank and target the portion of the turret that rotates and fires.
3 of 5: Take cover and use the crossbow to target the turret without being targeted yourself.
4 of 5: Two or three darts should take out the turret.
5 of 5: You could also try firing rockets around the corner, using the laser guidance system to make up for the fact that you can't stand safely where you'd have a direct line of sight to the alien turret.
