Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
How do I open the door to the Reserve Coolant Basin?
1 of 8: You can't.
2 of 8: But the military can.
3 of 8: In order to get them to do that, go up the little lift nearby and listen to the guard and scientist talking.
4 of 8: Hey, they're where you need to be!
5 of 8: But none of the doors nearby will open.
6 of 8: So go back to the Reserve Coolant Basin door and watch as an army corps engineer cuts it open from the other side.
7 of 8: I suggest you position yourself in the doorway that leads to the big lift and ready your .357. As soon as the door is kicked in, fire at the explosive canisters you can see through the doorway to the right. That should get all the goons in the room beyond in one shot.
8 of 8: But watch out for more military personnel as you explore onwards.
