Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I safely blow up this area?
1 of 6: Very easily, as it turns out.
2 of 6: Notice that a red laser beam for a tripmine goes along right under the grate-covered opening.
3 of 6: You're going to have to blast that cover off to go down anyway, right?
4 of 6: So move back as far as you can while keeping it in sight, give it a primary-fire burst with the gravity gun, then back up even more.
5 of 6: After the explosions are over, look through the opening to see how many hoppers you can grab and reset from up there.
6 of 6: Then drop down and reset any remaining hoppers to clear the area.
