Half-Life 2 Hints
Shed Combat Tips
1 of 6: If you have Dog's ball with you, toss it into the shed before knocking the wooden pallets aside and wait for it to run over the headcrabs for you.
2 of 6: Otherwise, use the gravity gun to throw the pallets (or whatever) at the headcrabs to kill them.
3 of 6: As you explore around the shed, three zombies will shamble out of a dark niche to the left of the exit.
4 of 6: There are saw blades and such that you can throw at them with the gravity gun, or you can use the whirling blade trap in the center of the shed.
5 of 6: Crouch-walk up to the machine's power switch and use it, staying crouched on the side of the machine opposite the approaching zombies.
6 of 6: Headcrabs sometimes survive when zombies are chopped in half, but they should also be killed by the blades when they leap at you.
