The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Supply Crate Trap Tips
1 of 7: There are four supply crates on the two mine carts there.
2 of 7: If you jump onto the carts to raid the crates, the carts will roll down into the abyss, killing you if you're still on them.
3 of 7: You can pull the crate off the back cart and drop it without starting the downhill roll, so do that first.
4 of 7: As for the other three crates, shooting them or pulling them out will start the carts rolling.
5 of 7: Each crate has an armor battery in it, so you'll probably want to try getting them all.
6 of 7: However, it's very hard to pull all three crates out before the cart goes over the edge. (Though it is possible.)
7 of 7: You might want to try destroying all three crates at once by gently tossing a grenade into the cart, but it'll still be hard to grab all three armor batteries before they go over the edge.
