Half-Life 2 Hints
Sewer Canal Combat Tips
1 of 6: As soon as you're in the canal, turn right and run to the nearby dead end.
2 of 6: Crouch in the water with the crowbar equipped and wait for two manhacks to swarm you.
3 of 6: Remember that they have a much harder time hitting you when you're just under the surface of water.
4 of 6: After they're scrapped, get your pistol out and make your way carefully along the canal until you see two cops rappel down a ways ahead of you.
5 of 6: Quickly shoot them down to clear the immediate area of hostiles.
6 of 6: Then crowbar-whack the scanner that appears to get a spare armor battery.
