Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Explosive Barrel Hazard
1 of 6: As soon as you get behind the metal wall on the ledge, look on down the ledge a short ways to see some explosive barrels.
2 of 6: Some of them are burning, and that's bad news for you.
3 of 6: Even if the nearest one isn't close enough to hurt you when it explodes, it might be knocked over to you by another barrel exploding.
4 of 6: To keep one of them from harming you, pull in the nearest one and then throw it at the second-nearest one.
5 of 6: Or get out the SMG or pulse rifle and quickly shoot the flaming barrels before they can get knocked toward you.
6 of 6: If that's not good enough, you may have to quickly drop off the left end of the ledge to a train car below, and then make your way back up the same way you did before.
