Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get into the house and raid it for supplies?
1 of 9: Have you tried the front door?
2 of 9: It's unopenable and unbashable, so look around for another way to enter.
3 of 9: Over to the right of the door is a wrecky-looking cellar entrance with tires piled on top of it.
4 of 9: Bash your way through the weak boards to enter the cellar.
5 of 9: In it, you'll find an infinite ammo crate for frag grenades in one corner. Now you've got another fun unlimited-ammo way (besides the SMG) to kill antlions near the thumper!
6 of 9: But that's not all you can get here. Look around to figure out a way to get up onto the main floor of the house.
7 of 9: Once you're on the main floor, you'll have a poison headcrab to deal with before you look around to see what's up there.
8 of 9: Jump from the spot near the open doorway to where you see a supply crate on the left, then jump across to a small fireplace that has an SMG grenade in it.
9 of 9: WARNING: The nearby bedroom will have a poison zombie in it if you first entered the house through the cellar.
