Hi
Just Finished the “Office Complex” chapter
one of the Achievements is to get through the chapter using an “Alternate Route”
anyone know where that route begins?
Also, Supposedly the SPAS -12 Shot Gun is first available in this chapter
anyone know where it can be found?

Searching Aimlessly Regards

#24

the shotgun is first encountered in We’ve got Hostiles. It is first found in OC in the original half life.

I don’t know about any alternate route

#25

Thanks
well …says here the Shot Gun is in OC but i guess they meant HL1

I’m stuck in the same place. I’ve already put the wheel in place but when I use it, the wheel turns slightly, but nothing happens. Have I missed a power switch or something? :[

#27

You have to hold Use to move the cart into place between the two vents.

#28

Thanks Dr. Tub. I’m moving again. :smiley:

#29

Could you be more specific? Its been a long time since I played HL1.

#30

I thought I saw it through an office window, but couldn’t get at it due to security shutters half closed.

#31

Okay so first off, I’d just like to say really quick how much I love this game. It’s completely amazing.

Now for the question: I’m at bm_c1a2c and I’ve amassed a crowd of four other people following me. I managed to get everyone to a large cafeteria where there was a very cool zombie fight. However, the cafeteria doors are blocked by tables and what-not and I can find no other way around. Do I have to abandon my faithful companions? I hate leaving NPCs behind unless they say something like, “You go on ahead! We’ll be fine here!” or something of the sort.

#32

Hey, nevermind guys! After forging ahead for a little while, I found that a door opens allowing you to go back and recollect your guys and continue. Sorry about the needless thread.

#33

I was wondering the same thing with my security guard. I ended up being an asshole and killing him for ammo. :stuck_out_tongue:

#34

I prefer luring them into barnacles. But, alas, we all have to abandon out NPC companions frequently. That was one problem I had with the original - NPCs would often be stuck behind for the inability to climb ladders or jump over desks.

#35

The alternate route is through some ducts, you get there from some office that got some kind of stairs in the wall, you need to break part of the celling to go.

#36

another thread about the shotgun. Looks like next chapter.

Ok, I think I found it. There is an office that had an energy pack outside the large cubicle area. There is a ladder installed on the wall, break some more tiles and climb up. It allows you to disable the turret.

Anyone know how to enter the double doors in this area that make a locked sound, and not the invalid beep sound?

#38

OK Thanks
found it
once i climbed up the ladder and made my way through the duct the “Permeable Infrastructure” Achievment popped

i felt certain i would find the SPAS-12 Shot Gun via the Alternate Route as the Black Mesa Wiki insists it can be first found in the Office Complex level
https://wiki.blackmesasource.com/Office_Complex
but no shotgun found

i guess the shotgun really dosent appear until the next level

Strange Wiki Typo Regards
