The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints

Grave Robber (EPX_GET_ZOMBINEGRENADE)

  • 1 of 7: All you have to do for this achievement is use the gravity gun to grab a grenade from the hand of any zombine.
  • 2 of 7: Your first opportunity for this is just past the first mine tunnel's exit in Chapter 1's Section 1: Mine Tunnels and a Hunter.
  • 3 of 7: Don't throw explosives at the enemies past the tunnel exit, but instead run out there to find the zombine.
  • 4 of 7: Steal his grenade as soon as he pulls it, then use it to kill him or some of the other nearby hostiles. (Or throw it to where it'll explode harmlessly and use gravity gun projectiles to finish the others off for Bone Breaker achievement credit.)
  • 5 of 7: If you miss that grenade-grabbing opportunity, look for more in other areas that have zombines in them.
  • 6 of 7: One of the best would be near the beginning of Chapter 5's Section 1: The Autogun.
  • 7 of 7: When you bash open the window in the small room you drop down into, a nearby zombine will almost certainly pull out a grenade. That's your chance to grab it and throw it with the gravity gun.
