Half-Life 2 Hints
Laundry Room Tips
1 of 5: Start out with the usual -- toss bugbait into the laundry room and hang back out of range.
2 of 5: However, this may not work very well due to the sentry gun at the other end of the room being able to easily shoot down your antlions from a distance.
3 of 5: If the sentry is still up and firing after you wait awhile, then you may need to take it out with an RPG rocket or pulse rifle energy orb.
4 of 5: Or you could quickly take it out with a rocket or orb before you send in your antlions to begin with.
5 of 5: When the laundry room looks clear, go through its doorway if you haven't already to trigger the appearance of one last soldier, then retreat and let the antlions get him, too.
