The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Section 1: The Autogun (ep2_outland_09)
1 of 13: Follow the resistance guy into the garage area, where you may or may not find some pistol ammo on the floor next to a table.
2 of 13: Wait for him to lead you upstairs to a large hole in the floor, then drop through it to find yourself in a small room with a bunch of zombies just outside.
4 of 13: When you get to the outdoor area full of toxic goo, move carefully down the broken stairs until you can drop down onto the safe ground on the right.
5 of 13: Zombies will continuously rise out of the nearby goo and stagger toward the autogun. They usually won't come after you unless you get close to them.
6 of 13: Move along the safe ground until you reach a spot with a flaming white van with a supply crate on top of it. (There's also a loose tire nearby if you want to use it to flatten some zombies.)
7 of 13: You're now going to have to figure out a way to get over behind the autogun and shut it off.
8 of 13: After the autogun's disabled, crouch-walk through the hole in the wall that its exploding power source made.
9 of 13: There'll be several zombies outside, but you can pretty easily dodge them as you run around the car rows to get over to the pavement where Alyx is. (Or you can stay near a frag grenade crate and grenade the zombies for the fun of it.)
10 of 13: Follow Alyx into the garage, then check the side hallway if you dropped any supplies in there earlier.
11 of 13: After you get in the car, wait for the mechanic to raise the garage door, then drive out and over any nearby zombies.
