Half-Life 2 Hints
Stockpiling Tip
1 of 2: Before you go too far up the stairs, go back and get everything you want from previous areas.
2 of 2: Also, you might want to stockpile a few special items (like armor batteries, leftover hoppers, and crossbow ammo) near the bottom of the stairs so you can come back and get them later.
