Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I take down this huge gunship?
1 of 4: Gunships are totally impervious to most of your weapons. The only things that can damage them are rockets from the RPG that Col. Cubbage gave you.
2 of 4: You need to find a good spot with lots of cover and fire RPG rockets at the gunship from there.
3 of 4: It'll take several rocket hits to down the gunship. The exact number depends on the difficulty level you're playing at (3 for Easy, 5 for Normal, and 7 for Hard).
4 of 4: Since the RPG can only hold three rockets at a time, Normal and Hard difficulty players may have a bit of a problem finding enough rockets to destroy the gunship.
