Half-Life 2 Hints
I found the gate's control wheel, but it's fizzly and useless!
1 of 6: You'll just have to find some other way of opening the gate.
2 of 6: But you've reached the end of the line. There's nowhere else to go until after the gate is open!
3 of 6: Why not get out your SMG and blow up the nearby explosive barrels in frustration? That should make you feel better.
4 of 6: Especially since that's the solution to the whole problem!
5 of 6: The one barrel right next to the nearby fence wall won't help much, but the cluster of barrels you can see a little ways beyond it will.
6 of 6: Blow them up to knock a large swinging cluster of heavy metal beams free so it'll bash the gate open for you. Viola!
