Half-Life 2 Hints
Second Shed Combat Tips
1 of 3: There are plenty of explosive barrels in the alley and in the shed that can be used to blow up the zombies, but you might want to save some of them for later instead of using them all.
2 of 3: You can have plenty of barrels left over if you use one barrel in the alley to kill the zombie at the alley's other end, then use the whirling blade trap inside the shed to kill the rest of the zombies.
3 of 3: If you're not so barrel-conscious, you could use one barrel on the zombie in the alley as mentioned above, and then set another barrel just inside the doorway of the second shed. Hit it with two pistol shots, then retreat and wait for all of the explosions. (Note that there are usually one or two survivors after this.)
