• Entering the Freedom armory

Use the following trick to enter the Freedom armory without being detected. Push a chair towards the guard. The chair can fall down partway and the glitch will still work. When it touches the guard, jump on it then jump onto him. You will be pushed past the guard and into the armory hallway. Slash the lock with your knife to enter. Use the same chair technique in the armory or the other room to get out.

• Exoskeleton

When you find you way into the sarcophagus, you will find a doorway that leads through a wire barrier and a hole in the wall with about ten people through the hole. Instead of going through that doorway, continue towards the light on the wall and turn right. There will be about two enemies there. Kill them and go through the door to their right. Just through that door to the left will be a ladder going to a door. Search the room at the bottom and you will find a chest with an Exoskeleton inside. It adds on radiation; bring some artifacts that counter radiation. It weighs 15, but gives you the ability to carry an extra 20. It has good protection from bullets but not much from anomalies.

• Get to Freedom armory without being part of Freedom

To sneak into the armory, push a chair from the other room to the guard. It doesn't matter if the chair falls down partway. When it is touching the guard, jump on it, then jump onto him. The game will push you past him, into the armory hallway. To access it, simply slash the lock with your knife. To get out, use another chair in the armory or the other room.

• Half-Life reference

After you have escorted Kruglov to Lake Yantar, go back to the downed HIND helicopter in Rostok Wildlands (where you first triggered the escort Kruglov mission). Nearby, you can see where there is an entrance to an underground garage area. Various anomalies are active in the area but are easily avoided. Looking in you can see a campfire. Go there and search around. There will be the remains of a corpse on a mattress inside a large metal ship container. Near the fire is a dead body. Search the body to find a unique handgun called Big Ben that fires PAB-9, SP-5 and SP-6 ammo. You will also acquire a new entry in your PDA (about other PDAs) with a number of notes as to what happened to Gordon Freeman.

• Stalker suit

At the start of the game, you need to talk to a stalker named Wolf in the Gordon camp. Behind Wolf is a ladder that leads to an empty backpack in the attic. Climb the ladder but do not enter the attic. Instead, walk around the ledge formed where the roof and walls meet. You can work your way onto the roof of the house by doing this. Once on top of the roof of this house, there is an identical house north of the one you are on. You can sprint and jump to the roof of that adjacent house. Note: You will take a little damage. When you get to the second house's roof, carefully make your way to the side with a hole in the roof. Just past it, you should be able to make out a wooden crate you can destroy. If you spoke to Wolf and accepted the mission to rescue Nimble, you should have a pistol. Shoot the wooden crate to get a Stalker suit worth 15,000 Rubles.
