Half-Life 2 Hints
Manhack Swarm Tips
1 of 5: Remember that the best manhack-attacking weapon is the gravity gun.
2 of 5: Stand with your back to a wall and suck-and-throw any manhacks that come within range.
3 of 5: Also remember that you can knock a manhack away with a quick regular-fire burst from the gravity gun.
4 of 5: That's useful when several manhacks are coming at you at once -- just quickly knock them all away with regular-fire bursts.
5 of 5: Instead of staying and fighting all the manhacks, you could just run ahead to the next area, but you'd have a hard time getting all of your squad to catch up to you.
