Half-Life 2 Hints
Secret Area
1 of 5: Look around on the big platform that the white shed is on to find a red shed with a slanty roof and the words "LOADING ZONE" in the middle of its unopenable door.
2 of 5: Find three upright barrels and set them carefully near the right end of the red shed, where its roof is at its lowest. (You could use crates instead, but I'm assuming you had fun blasting them all.)
3 of 5: Set the barrels up in "stairstep" formation, then use them to jump onto the shed's roof.
4 of 5: Walk across the roof to the other side and look down to find the secret supplies (including a rare energy orb for the pulse rifle).
5 of 5: Suck those goodies in with the gravity gun, then go back the way you came.
