Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
Why won't the security guard let me out of the complex?
1 of 6: The security guard will not let anyone outside without proper protection.
2 of 6: All soldiers come equipped with a PCV, or Powered Combat Vest. However, yours is missing.
3 of 6: When the scientists and security guard brought you into the complex, the security guard removed your PCV and left it in the makeshift morgue.
4 of 6: You must be wearing your PCV before the guard will let you out.
5 of 6: The PCV is sitting on a table near the bodies of three soldiers, two of which are victims of headcrabs. Two scientists stand nearby commenting on the parasitic nature of the aliens.
6 of 6: Grab the PCV and proceed to where the security guard is waiting to let you out. He will now permit you to leave the complex.
