Half-Life Hints
How do I get past the ladder with the laser alert at its bottom?
1 of 5: Climb down it partway and drop a hand grenade.
2 of 5: That will take out some tripmines and one of the nearby military auto-turrets.
3 of 5: Then climb down carefully until you're just a little ways above the laser alert and toss a grenade into the room ahead to take down a couple of zombies.
4 of 5: Then face upwards a little and jump forward off the ladder. You should be able to get to the floor without hitting the laser alert this way.
5 of 5: Raid the little room for grenades and health, then make your way carefully past the other three auto-turrets without activating them.
