Half-Life 2 Hints
Raised Ledge Combat Tips
1 of 5: You see those explosive barrels up there on the ledge with them?
2 of 5: If you shoot one of those barrels twice and then wait, the explosions may take the cops out for you.
3 of 5: But not if you shoot a barrel too soon.
4 of 5: Move up to the nearby fence door and make sure the cops have appeared at their end of the ledge before retreating to cover and shooting a barrel.
5 of 5: TIP: If you put one of the barrels that are past the fence door against the wall near the dead cops, you might be able to jump up and down on the barrel to pick up one or both of their dropped pistols. It all depends on exactly where their pistols fell.
