Half-Life Hints
How do I get to the auto-turret's off switch?
1 of 7: It's in a secret maintenance room.
2 of 7: If you search the large slave-infested area you just cleared out, you should see a sign near a couch that says "Maintenance Access."
3 of 7: But where is this so-called access?
4 of 7: Look up at the ceiling to see what you can see.
5 of 7: Bash the weak ceiling tile near the sign to find a ladder leading up.
6 of 7: Climb the ladder and you'll end up in the auto-turret's little room.
7 of 7: However, before you throw its switch, peek around the corner and let it see you and activate. If you flip the switch before it activates, it may become impossible to shut off.
