Having trouble with manhacks?

[127.0.0.1]

If you find those pesky slicers irritating, try this tactic. Use the gravity gun I have no idea why I never thought about that until 10 minutes ago. You could either grab themk and smash them into a wall or let your company shoot them.

Shoot manhacks at a wall

 

[luketabor]

yeah, i finally figured that out when I was almost to the striders.

 

[Dead-Inside]

Same here. I felt kinda retarded.

 

[Beserker]

No no, it's target practice! THat's why you shoot them.

or bash them with the crowbar.

 

[Ikerous]

A shotgun blast also does the trick.

You know what's really fun? Grab a manhack with the Gravity gun and hold it. Walk into combine soldiers and watch them get cut up and die. :O

It looks like they "die" just from getting pushed. You have to shoot them 4 times or something with the pistol, but send them flying once with the gravity gun and they're history, even if they don't hit anything. I don't get it.

they have little spinnyb lades and flat bits poking out, i guess if you shoot it hard enough, they will bend and it wont be able to fly anymore.

You can do the same thing with the floaty camera things. What're they called, sentinals? Whatever. They explode very nicely too. Not as big as a barrel, but still a good explosion.

SpaceRain, I usually found that they needed to smash into a wall pretty good or else they came back and cut me up some more.
