The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Shortcut Tips
1 of 7: You can take a rather dangerous shortcut at this point if you want to.
2 of 7: Go back through the first white van and into the building, then grab a barrel from outside the window you first entered the building through.
3 of 7: Take the barrel through the first white van and over to the truck that's to the right of the second white van.
4 of 7: Get the barrel set upright in the corner between the back of the truck and the fence.
5 of 7: You can now use that barrel to jump onto the back of the truck, from which you can sprint forward to end up in the area past the autogun's range.
6 of 7: It's very hard to get over the truck and into the next area without getting shot, so be sure to quicksave before trying.
7 of 7: Also, crouch down next to the truck for a bit and wait to make sure the autogun is interested in shooting at zombies before you make your attempt.
