Half-Life 2 Hints

Supply Notes

  • 1 of 11: This side room is on the right side of the tunnel near the junk barricade.
  • 2 of 11: Since its door is locked and its window is unbreakable, you're going to have to find another way in.
  • 3 of 11: Head around the cars to the right of the door and window to find a small cement ledge you can jump onto.
  • 4 of 11: There are some supplies right there on the ledge, plus an entrance to the locked room.
  • 5 of 11: Crouch-walk through the small square hole in one wall to enter the room.
  • 6 of 11: Before you drop down into the room, use the gravity gun to throw the room's junk around to crush the two headcrabs in there.
  • 7 of 11: Then enter and look around to find several supplies on the floor next to the window.
  • 8 of 11: There's also a zombie at the window all of a sudden!
  • 9 of 11: Fortunately, he can't hurt you from outside, so take your time getting the supplies.
  • 10 of 11: To get back outside, you can do a jump-crouch move to get back into the crouch-hole you entered through, or you can throw the junk away from the door and exit through it.
  • 11 of 11: Back in the tunnel, throw a barrel or tire at the zombie to crush it (or shoot it with the SMG and then resupply at the jeep's ammo box).
