Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get to that shed?
1 of 5: There's a slanty ledge that runs across the left side of the station (left as you face the shed) that appears to lead right to the shed.
2 of 5: But unfortunately, it drops off early, and you can't get to the shed using it. (But note the small supply stash that it gets you to.)
3 of 5: You'll have to go back and cross on the right side of the station instead.
4 of 5: There's a nice railed walkway over there. Try it.
5 of 5: The walkway has two serious problems: explosive barrels placed near it will be detonated by a grenade as you cross, and the broken railing pieces scattered about the walkway guarantee that you can't just sprint across it quickly.
