Half-Life 2 Hints
What's the best way to take these sentry guns down?
1 of 5: One good way is to tell your squad to stay put, then drop down to the lower floor and quickly run toward the sentries so that you're behind them before they can start firing.
2 of 5: Then it's easy to knock them both over and call your squad to drop down to your level.
3 of 5: Another thing you could do is crouch-walk along near the edge of the big floor hole and look for small floor holes through which you can see the sentries.
4 of 5: While aiming at a sentry gun through a small hole, use the gravity gun to pick it up and throw it down.
5 of 5: Do that with both sentries before you or your squad drops down to the lower floor.
