Half-Life Hints
How can I disable the auto-turret?
1 of 6: These permanent auto-turrets almost always have a manual override switch nearby.
2 of 6: It usually looks like a metal box with a lever on its side.
3 of 6: Pulling the lever disables the turret.
4 of 6: Locate the override switch and wait for the auto-turret to power down.
5 of 6: This turret's switch is under the platform that's under the turret.
6 of 6: Run over to the switch by crouching and pushing boxes ahead of you so the turret can't target you. Pull the switch to disable the turret.
