The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
How can I save the building?
1 of 5: By sneaking up on the strider before it can blast the building.
2 of 5: When the strider fires on the building doesn't just depend on your distance from the building, but also on whether or not you have line-of-sight with the building. If you do, you'd better stay pretty far away, like you did when you were sniping at this strider's hunters. Otherwise, you can get a lot closer.
3 of 5: Drive the car around to get behind the strider as mentioned earlier, but park it and get out as you near the bend in the road near supply building #4.
4 of 5: Get the sticky bomb from the car's bomb rack and move carefully over to some large boulders next to the road that you can see the strider over.
5 of 5: If you can see the strider but not the supply building, the strider won't fire, giving you time to sticky-bomb it.
