Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
How do I keep the pit-drones from continuously jumping down the tunnel shafts?
1 of 6: The pit-drones will never stop dropping from above and running out the tunnels in the underground canal system. You will have to figure out a way to deal with them.
2 of 6: The tunnels have doors on them that can be closed.
3 of 6: The lever right next to the tunnel shaft closes the door.
4 of 6: Ignore the pit-drones and run after the lever, hit it, and jump into the water.
5 of 6: It often helps to run straight at the lever and let the pit-drones pass by you on your left. They'll often ignore you at first if you do that, but not always.
6 of 6: When you are ready, hop out of the water and engage the pit-drones.
