Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
How can I get the fatguard's neat Desert Eagle pistol?
1 of 8: It seems impossible, since the game is rigged to close and lock the doors that the guard opens once you get the pipe wrench.
2 of 8: However, you can block the doors from closing.
3 of 8: Look around the guard's room before leaving.
4 of 8: There's a pushable chair next to one of the tables in the room.
5 of 8: When the guard opens the doors, push the chair directly in between them before going for the pipe wrench.
6 of 8: Then come back and jump-crouch over the chair and through the doors.
7 of 8: Whack the guard with the wrench until he falls over, then get his cool gun.
8 of 8: You can also go back to the beginning of the area, whacking a zombie and some scientists as you go, but there's no point in that (just lots of fun).
