Tips

  • Use the Gravity Gun to carry and place reprogrammed turrets in corners with overlapping fields of fire during defense segments.
  • Turrets are easily knocked over by Combine grenades or rushing soldiers, so check on them frequently and set them back upright with the Gravity Gun.
  • In the final teleporter defense, place turrets facing the main entry corridors and use the Gravity Gun to deflect incoming enemy grenades.
