Half-Life 2 Hints
Supply Crates
1 of 4: There are two supply crates right in front of the white shed on the lower docks platform, plus one more inside the large red container that's down at the other end of the higher walkway (near the magnetic crane tower).
2 of 4: All three of those crates can have armor batteries in them if your armor is low when you break them open.
3 of 4: In fact, the lower your armor is, the more batteries you'll get.
4 of 4: Due to this, it's wise to not break those crates open until after you've killed off *all* the soldiers in the region, including in the main Northern Petrol building area, and are ready to hit the road again in the jeep.
