Problem in the Sandtraps level

[larslem]

That Alien with one big red eye (I don't remember what he's called) is teaching Freeman how to handle the bugbaits. When he says "The Freeman must squeeze his bugbait sharply if he wishes the antlions to follow where he leads", what am I supposed to do then? :bounce:

Switch to the bugbait and 'fire' it into the pit I think.

right click

There should be instructions on the screen telling you to "use your alternate fire" when he tells you that. Like when you get the buggy/airboat and the control scheme is on the screen momentarily as well.

 

[emCee-ig]

you squeeze it to wake them up
then throw one in the pit
then throw one on the dude thats on the pole
then walk to the top and he will open the gate, then you go through it

ive noticed the scripting in this game is a little buggy, i have had to replay a couple of levels over just to go further in the game,


SPOILERS BELOW FOR SOME






example, after you get out of ravenholm and you meet up with some guys in the warehouse, they tell you alyx is on the line, well dude opens the door, then just stands there,

another time, in the sandtraps, after fighting the big ass antlion, i was walking around and saw a door with the alien with the red eye, he didnt do anything, just sat there looking at me, , i had to reload the level from almost the beginning to get him to come out and get me

Hi All,

Am also facing the same problem. After killing the big Alien the small alien gifts me those bugbaits. But now no idea where to go .
Sometimes small alien do says that Freeman follow me but that idiot dont allow me to enter the door, and even sometimes the man on the top also says ALL CLEAR NOW LETS GO.

BUT AGAIN THE ALIEN IS NOT MOVING AWAY FROM THE DOOR

PLEASE HELP ME

WHAT PIT YOU TALKING ABOUT I DID'NT GET IT AND HOW TO USE THOSE BUGBAITS DID THEY DO SOME MAGIC TRICKS OR HELP ME TO FLY BECAUSE YOU ALL GUYS REMEMBER HALF LIFE OPPOSING FORCE THERE WAS ALSO ALIEN Type weapon which worked like a thread to jump a log distance

Shut. Up. dont. use. capital. letters.

[AJ Rimmer]

Calm down, the pit comes after where you're stuck. They'll teach you how to use the bugbait once you get through the door.

Yes, we do remember that, this is nothing like it. I think if you just play the part where you get the bugbaits, and play a little further, it'll become clear very easily what they're for.

It's probably not so clear if your retarded .
