Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get the health and ammo I see over there?
1 of 6: Have you tried taking a running jump across the shaft?
2 of 6: It's just a tiny bit too wide for that to work.
3 of 6: Have you tried crouch-walking carefully across on the wooden beam over on the right?
4 of 6: It's a bit too flimsy for that, and will drop you down the shaft.
5 of 6: So walk a short distance out onto the beam and then jump the rest of the way.
6 of 6: Or you could stand on the shaft's edge and use the gravity gun to yank over the ammo and one health kit. (The second health kit is very hard to get this way since it's on the other side of the dead body.)
