Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
How do I open the door to the main stairwell?
1 of 7: You don't.
2 of 7: A military goon will.
3 of 7: After you talk to the scientist that the other two guys shot up, that is.
4 of 7: He'll open the door as you approach it, so be ready!
5 of 7: One thing you can do is push the box that's setting near the door so that it's in front of the door before you go and talk to the scientist. That way the door will only partially open when the goon pushes on it, and you'll have a chance to sneak-shoot him with your .357 before he sees you.
6 of 7: If the first .357 shot doesn't take him down, quickly shoot him in the back with another one as he runs down the hallway.
7 of 7: If you need .357 ammo, check the middle locker in the injured scientist's room.
