However, the crossbow is powerful, able to kill any Combine soldier with one shot to anywhere on their body, and if they're near a wall or solid plane, will actually pin them to it. Go ahead and make a display out of them if you'd like, but be wary as crossbow ammo is rare and hard to come by. Head on up to the Combine outpost on foot and work your way around to the far end, beyond all the buildings, killing the soldiers. There are a lot of explodables here so watch out and make sure they only take out Combine soldiers. There are also a couple of rollermines by the blue truck, which can get in the way during the attack.

Around the back you will see an empty Combine APC hooked up to a powerline across to the forcefield — this is powering it. You'll notice that there are some blocks keeping the APC in place from rolling down the slope and over the edge…so go ahead and pull them out, and watch it plummet into the water and disable the forcefield. Head back to your car and drive through (the fenced off area with the tank contains a poor tramp bloke who died not that long ago, and if you can reach it with the gravity gun, a magnum and some ammo). Drive on up the road and through the tunnel for a loading screen.

Around the back of the last building you will see an unmanned Combine APC hooked up to a power line across to the forcefield at the bridge — this is powering it. You will notice that there are some black and yellow blocks under the back tires keeping the APC in place from rolling down the slope and over the edge into the sea below…so go ahead and pull them out, and watch it plummet into the water and disable the forcefield. Head back across the bridge to your car and drive it to level with the last building. Hop out of your car, find a barrel and carry it over to the fenced off area with the large white tank on the other side of the road. Climb on the barrel to get over where the fence is buckled and go through to find a rebel who died not that long ago, a magnum and some ammo. Climb back out and drive on up the road and through the tunnel for a loading screen.


Along the road a lone Combine soldier will come out of the house on the right — just run him over, but don't bother getting out as there's nothing in the house he came from. Carry on up to the fork, where the road goes up to the Combine-controlled bridge, or down to the outpost on the bottom. Go to the buildings at the bottom, and take out all the Combine here. If you check the house, on the top floor there is a poison zombie for you to deal with, but also a crossbow and a full refill of ammo for it (in order to get up there you'll need to find something large on the bottom floor for you to hop onto to get to the rest of the stairs up). There's also an infinite rocket crate here if you need it. There's a Combine forcefield blocking the bridge, so how do you get across it with the car?
