Benefactors

[thejam70]

OK, I'm stuck. Someone help! At the beginning of "Benefactors" you are sent by the pod through the factory, then stripped of all your weapons. Afterwards, all you have is the gravity gun thing. After I kill all the guards, I can't go anywhere! There is a hallway to the left, and a hallway to the right. You can't jump over the railing. I've tried throwing all the wall controllers and guard bodies to the blue beam thing, to no avail...HELP

Scroll through this and you will find this:

Enjoy your trip. You're safe for now. After a while, you'll fall down.

*Loading*

All your weapons will be taken from you, but your Gravity Gun will be
upgraded. You can now use it to lift heavy things and kill enemies. It gives
quite a lot of fun. Continue, and you'll find a charger. This charger will
heal you, and also charge your suit (to 200 points). While you keep going,
Dr. Breen will give various speeches. Listen to them, and keep going.

Eventually, you'll end up in a room with a beam. Note how much fun it is to
throw a Combine in there. Find the elevator here and use it. You'll end up in
a room with a force field. You can pull the cores of the generators towards
you, and fire them off. Do so. This will kill the Combines, and disable the
power field. Continue.

*Loading*

Just keep going, and you'll end up in a new room. Find the switch to call the
elevator. While you are waiting, defend yourself. It's never been so much fun
with the new gun. When the elevator arrives, step onto it, and go up. You'll
have to defend yourself from attacks. When you are all the way at the top,
remove the core to lower the field. etc etc

I can SEE the room with a beam, but I can't get to it. I can't jump over the railing or nothing. I'll look for the elevator, but I don't see where it could be. Let me know if this makes sense...Thanks!

I know where you are talking about. The railing looking into the first beam room. It's a glitch. Try reloading, or use noclip
