Half-Life 2 Hints
How do I work this mine cart?
1 of 9: You don't have to -- you could just squeeze past the mine cart and run all the way up the shaft, dodging or shooting all the zombies that appear.
2 of 9: But there's no point in doing that when the mine cart is right there for you to use.
3 of 9: Use the yellow-handled lever just behind the cart to activate it.
4 of 9: It'll shoot up the mine shaft, whirling its deadly blade around.
5 of 9: However, the zombies don't shamble out from the sides of the shaft until you start going up it.
6 of 9: But notice that the mine cart keeps going back and forth as long as it's running.
7 of 9: So start it up, then start moving up one side of the tunnel.
8 of 9: Be sure to stay to the side and crouched whenever the mine cart passes you.
9 of 9: Let it carve up the zombies for you, and you'll make it out of the mines safely and with no ammo wasted.
