Half-Life 2 Hints
Headcrab Tips
1 of 5: You can shoot the explosive barrels down on the floor to help blow up headcrabs.
2 of 5: Or you can destroy them all without using any ammo.
3 of 5: Crouch-walk carefully along the wooden beams until you're in the corner that's directly above the fire that's burning down there.
4 of 5: That way, all the headcrabs will accidentally get into the fire and burn to death while trying futilely to get at you.
5 of 5: If not all of the headcrabs notice you in the corner above the fire at first, move around on the wooden beams until they do notice you, then return to the corner.
