Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Scanner Tips
1 of 3: First off, if you're way low on armor, use the gravity gun to suck in the supply crate that you can see ahead and smash it to get an armor battery before the scanners show up.
2 of 3: Quicksave, then go forward to where the scanners appear.
3 of 3: You can randomly get armor batteries from their remains, so if you can't find any after they're all destroyed, quickrestore and try again.
