Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints

Shotgun Soldier Tip

  • 1 of 3: Equip the SMG before you reach this room, then run to where you can see an explosive barrel through the doorway.
  • 2 of 3: Shoot it quickly with the SMG so it'll explode and kill the shotgun guy.
  • 3 of 3: Quicksave first, since you sometimes get damaged, and the soldier sometimes survives.
