Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I destroy this thing?
1 of 7: With rockets, of course.
2 of 7: To blow it away without coming under its fire, carefully edge left until you can see the APC's back end to the left of the dumpster.
3 of 7: Blast any soldiers running around out there, then start firing rockets at the APC.
4 of 7: As with the sniper, don't fire directly at the target, but a little wide (to the left in this case) to make sure your rocket doesn't explode nearby, then redirect it into the target.
5 of 7: When soldiers appear on the rooftop of the building behind the APC, duck under cover to avoid their fire and make them rappel down, then rocket them.
6 of 7: TIP: You can use your HEV suit's zoom feature (Z key on the PC) after you launch a rocket to help you steer it to a small, distant target like a soldier.
7 of 7: Keep rocketing the APC and the soldiers until there aren't any left.
