Half-Life Hints
How do I deal with the rocket-firing tank that appears outdoors?
1 of 7: Shoot its turret with your brand-new hornet gun.
2 of 7: But you need a good vantage point from which to do so.
3 of 7: As soon as you run up the big ramp that leads outdoors, turn right and run up another ramp to reach an area with health and armor supplies in boxes.
4 of 7: Don't take the time to bash the boxes now; instead, jump-crouch onto a box that's near the ledge that runs along the side of this outdoor area.
5 of 7: Get onto the ledge and run forward and around to where the tank will appear. You may take a little hornet fire from the alien grunts below before they're bombed out of existence, but it won't be too bad.
6 of 7: When the tank appears, concentrate first on taking out the two soldiers that appear with it. The hornet gun's regular fire mode should take care of them nicely, but you'd better be careful to dodge their hand grenades.
7 of 7: Once the goons are down, use the hornet gun's secondary attack mode to shoot the tank's turret until it explodes. Victory!
