Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I destroy this one?
1 of 7: With RPG rockets, just like before at the NLO base.
2 of 7: However, there aren't any rockets available at Northern Petrol, so you'll have to drive on down the road and hope you can find some before the gunship shoots you to death.
3 of 7: TIP: If you're playing on Easy difficulty and have three rockets in your RPG, you could return to the cover of the Northern Petrol buildings and blast the gunship from there. You couldn't afford even one miss, though, so quicksave after every successful hit and quickrestore after every miss.
4 of 7: When you come to the gappy bridge, you'll have to jump the ramp to get over the gap. If you don't make it, it's an instant game-over.
5 of 7: Quicksave without slowing down after you make it safely over the bridge gap, then drive on to quickly come to an area of the road that's clogged with wrecked vehicles.
6 of 7: You now have two choices: you can either stop and try to shoot down the gunship (NOT recommended) or just keep going to avoid confronting it.
