Half-Life 2 Hints
Lift-Riding Tips
1 of 6: The first soldier will appear on a walkway back toward the red shed, so turn and face that way at first.
2 of 6: I recommend shooting him with the pulse rifle, but you can try using the .357 or crossbow for a quicker kill.
3 of 6: Turn around and face the way you're going, since the second soldier will appear on the walkway that the lift is taking you to.
4 of 6: Shoot him down with the pulse rifle, then turn back around and look up.
5 of 6: The third soldier will appear on one of the uppermost walkways right after you pass under it.
6 of 6: He's a good one to use the .357 Magnum on, though you may find the pulse rifle more effective if you don't have really good aim.
