Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get past all the junk clogging the passage ahead?
1 of 5: Remember how you moved large items around in the scrapyard earlier?
2 of 5: Use the gravity gun!
3 of 5: You could just use Primary Fire blasts to throw stuff around, but when you're trying to de-clog a passageway, it can often be better to pick up one item at a time and set it (or throw it) somewhere out of the way.
4 of 5: But there are some items that you can't pick up even with the gravity gun, like the big green storage cabinet that's blocking the doorway at the bottom of the stairs.
5 of 5: Just hit things like that with a regular-fire blast to push them out of your way.
