Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I open this door?
1 of 7: Examine it closely.
2 of 7: Maybe there's something on the other side of the door that's holding it closed.
3 of 7: Remember that fence door awhile back that had a padlock on the other side?
4 of 7: Well, this door has a horizontal metal bar on the other side of it holding it shut.
5 of 7: You can't shoot out the bar, as it's indestructible.
6 of 7: So use the gravity gun to latch onto it and lift it up, then throw it forward.
7 of 7: Or just use the "Use item" key to do that, since the bar isn't heavy or far away.
