Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Another Explosive Barrel Hazard
1 of 6: The soldiers will be killed by the explosion of the barrels behind them if you don't shoot them first.
2 of 6: So hide behind the big pillar on the right as soon as you drop into the trench so the soldiers can't shoot you before they die.
3 of 6: Soon after the soldiers are killed, some flaming explosive barrels may roll down toward you from a train car hanging above the trench a ways farther down.
4 of 6: Back up as far as you can and have your SMG ready.
5 of 6: If any flaming barrels start rolling toward you, shoot them quickly before they can get close to you.
6 of 6: Or instead of that, you can run forward, grab the hopper with the gravity gun, and throw it at the barrels to blow them up early.
