The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Get Some Grub (EP2_KILL_ALLGRUBS)
1 of 5: This achievement requires you to kill every single antlion grub in the game.
2 of 5: There are 91 in Chapter 1 and 242 in Chapter 2, for a total of 333!
3 of 5: A lot of them can be killed by walking over them or hitting them with a Primary Fire burst from the gravity gun. However, some are so out-of-reach that you'll have to pop them with the pistol.
4 of 5: Note that it doesn't matter how grubs are killed, only that they are killed. If they get killed by enemy fire (like antlion worker spit), that counts, too.
5 of 5: Many grubs are easy to miss, so see the hints below for all grub locations in the chapter sections they can be found in. Links to the main section hints are included in case you need to refer to them. Also, running totals in brackets [] are put on the end of each hint that mentions new grubs.
