Half-Life 2 Hints
Supply Tip
1 of 3: Before you drop down into that sandy canal, which is the last point of no return in this chapter, you should look around everywhere for leftover supplies to toss down into the canal so you can use them later.
2 of 3: The main places to check are the upstairs niche past where a soldier got eaten by a barnacle, and the little side room near the metal double doors that you came through earlier.
3 of 3: Also check near dead soldiers for any weapons you don't need the ammo for yet. You might need it later.
