More Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 5: These soldiers are just barely in the gravity gun's "grab" range, but there's any easier way.
2 of 5: Do you notice the three bright-white energy conduits just behind the soldiers?
3 of 5: You can grab energy orbs from a much greater distance than you can grab soldiers from.
4 of 5: So aim toward any energy conduit and pull in an energy orb, then fire it to destroy one of the soldiers.
5 of 5: Repeat for the second soldier if your first orb didn't bounce to include him.
