  • 1 of 10: Move slowly forward until you see the chopper fly off ahead of you, then consider going back to the previous chapter section for supplies.
  • 2 of 10: Drive slowly along until you come to a spot where the road is blocked by a torn-up train car.
  • 3 of 10: Past that, crash through some supply crates and go under some bridges.
  • 4 of 10: When a fast zombie lands on the car, just wait until Alyx kicks the beast off.
  • 5 of 10: In the spot past that where you have to make a u-turn, you'll need to watch out for some nearby zombines, plus the chopper firing at you again.
  • 6 of 10: As soon as you get out of the car, look for a resistance guy at one end of a nearby open storage container.
  • 7 of 10: Follow him inside, where he'll ask you to help take down the chopper.
  • 8 of 10: After you look around thoroughly for supplies, go to the area's back left corner, where one of the resistance guys will open a door for you.
  • 9 of 10: Follow him down a short hall to another door, then wait for Chapter 5: Under the Radar to start.
  • 10 of 10: TIP: You might want to go get all the loose health kits and armor batteries from the nearby area and drop them in the hallway before getting Chapter 5 started.
