Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I drop this force field?
1 of 8: The same way you dropped one earlier in this long ol' chapter.
2 of 8: You see that plug-in connected to that cord up there, a ways past the force field?
3 of 8: Do it like you did the last force field plug-in you found.
4 of 8: You can shoot it with the pistol from any distance, but there is a way to unplug it with the gravity gun.
5 of 8: Carefully edge out of the doorway of the room you're in and over to the right side of the force field generator.
6 of 8: NOTE: Check for any nearby hoppers that you can grab and reset before you do this to make sure they don't cause you any trouble.
7 of 8: Once in position, get the gravity gun out and try to pull the plug with the secondary fire key.
8 of 8: If it doesn't work, edge a bit closer and try again.
