Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I avoid damage from the live wire that's swinging across my path?
1 of 5: Notice that it's swinging back and forth over a narrow plank bridge that you need to take to get across some radioactive sludge.
2 of 5: You need to run across when the live wire isn't directly over the bridge or just about to swing over the bridge.
3 of 5: Notice that it swings farther to the right of the bridge than it does to the left.
4 of 5: Slowly move up as close as you dare, then start sprinting forward right after the live wire swings to the right of the bridge. That should get you across with zero damage.
5 of 5: TIP: Before you cross, you should go back and get any ammo or other supplies that you passed by before because you didn't need them. (Unless, of course, you still don't need them.)
