Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get this door open?
1 of 5: Examine the door carefully.
2 of 5: Look along its right side.
3 of 5: About halfway up is a padlock on the other side of the door.
4 of 5: Shoot off the lock with your pistol or the gravity gun's Secondary Fire mode to open the door.
5 of 5: ALTERNATIVE: Go along the fencing to the right of the door until you can walk up some slanty rubble and jump on top of the fencing. Walk back across it until you're near the door, then drop to the floor and whack the padlock with your crowbar.
