Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
How do I open the box inside my locker?
1 of 4: Try coming back and shooting it after you get your gun from the armory.
2 of 4: It'll take every bullet from the gun and the clips from the practice range, but you can shoot open the box to reveal a weird little creature called a Chumtoad.
3 of 4: That's useless now (and a total waste of ammo), so don't do it unless you save your game first.
4 of 4: As for the significance of the creature, you'll be seeing more of them (maybe) in the "Focal Point" chapter.
