Saw Blade Hoarding Challenge! (HL2)

Without using cheats, how many saw blades can you take all the way through to the end of Ravenholm? As an added challenge (if you do not have the Zombie Chopper achievement, you’ll wanna do this anyway) you may only use the gravity gun (with the saw blades of course) through this area.

I am trying this right now and so far have 14 (haven’t been trying too hard to save every single one since it’s my first go through) and haven’t pulled out any other weapon. Screeny:

if my computer wasnt totally fucked right now I would totally boot up SMOD and take a screen of that room with exactly 1337 sawblades in it.

^^^lol, haven’t heard of that, I’d like to see that.

And I thought I was bored. :fffuuu:

Similar: Try to get all 8 turrets to the combine teleporter, makes the battle alot easier.

That battle is pretty easy anyway.

Yeah. It’s really the second battle you need them for, and then only if you don’t have a decent strategy. The levels are specifically designed to make carrying the turrets through a huge pain in the ass, so I don’t even bother.

lollo i use chits and that have make 10!! turrets

your just to noob!

You could stack them in a upwards row AND THEN YOU’D HAVE A LADDER.

Thats ingenious!! :awesome: Does it actually work?

I miss the days of security guard/scientist hoarding…then murdering. again, and again.

I did this. Then I tried to bring one of the turrets with me through the teleporter. It fit, but it didn’t teleport. :meh:

Way to go against protocol.

No sadly :frowning:

You can’t stand on the saw blades because that would make areas too easy to skip.

A few hints for Ravenholm:
Just after you get the shotgun, you need to go down an elevator. If you want to get the achievement for only using the gravity gun, you probably can’t kill all the zombies, and one of them will probably get in the elevator with you. Try to jump on his head, move around with him and he won’t be able to hurt you. If a zombie wanders under the elevator, it’ll die when it comes down. Then just rush across the fence and into the next map.

When you’re waiting for the cart to moved towards you, jump off to the metal catwalk you came on, then go back into the house with the ladder to the roof, you can poke your head through and the zombies just run around aimlessly trying to get to you.

In the map after that, rush to get over the fence, then crawl under the bent part, the zombies won’t be able to attack you and grigori will shoot them all. after that, just use sawblades.

The easiest way to get the only gravity gun achievement is to bring Dog’s ball along. The zombies will prioritize it over you, and it kills things in one hit when thrown with the gravity gun. It also kills headcrabs on its own.

That’s pretty cool, actually.

So you just wall climb with a barrel instead.

Or prop surf across the top of the levels. [ HQ ]
(In the case you haven’t yet seen it)

They’ll attack the ball instead of you?!
