Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
How do I beat the soldiers that are just past the storage room?
1 of 8: One way is to sneak over to the bottom of the stairs that lead up to where they are and throw a hand grenade at them or shoot them while hiding behind the pushable box that's there.
2 of 8: Be sure to save first, because they have grenades, too, and may be able to blow you up before you can take them down.
3 of 8: The best way, though, is to sneak up behind them and use a C4 satchel charge to blow them to bits.
4 of 8: Without doing anything to draw their attention, sneak up the stairs on the far left side until you're near the soldiers.
5 of 8: Then choose the satchel charge as your readied weapon, and toss one.
6 of 8: Sneak back down the stairs before detonating it.
7 of 8: It should totally splattify both soldiers in one blast, even on Difficult level. Just head on up there and grab their shotgun and Mp5.
8 of 8: Also, explore another set of stairs in the area to find a dead guard with some bullets and armor lying around him.
