Half-Life 2 Hints
What are the best spots for scragging these last snipers?
1 of 9: When you first run up the stairs to "activate" these two snipers, you could go all the way to the top and then quickly toss a grenade through the first sniper's window before running back down the stairs.
2 of 9: That sniper is actually just a couple of windows over from the very first sniper you came under fire from in this chapter, so you could go all the way back out there, run up right under his window, and grenade him from there.
3 of 9: However, I'm going to use the next few hints to outline a way to get both snipers fairly easily from the floor with the infinite grenade crate on it.
4 of 9: After you "activate" the snipers, head back down the stairs and make a quick run across to the cover of the wall that's right under Barney's spot.
5 of 9: Get a frag grenade out and crouch-walk slowly to the left until you can see one of the sniper's windows through the bent bars.
6 of 9: Find a good spot where you can stay crouched and toss grenades at the sniper's window without coming under fire.
7 of 9: When that one's down, run over to the grenade crate and crouch in front of it so that some rubble is between you and the other sniper.
8 of 9: Refill on grenades, then run for the large broken window that's nearest the stairs that lead back down to the flooded basement.
9 of 9: Crouch-walk around at the base of that window until you find a spot where you can crouch safely and toss grenades at the sniper's window through the bars on your window.
