This is new?

HL2 Episode Two
1

Hi! I found this with the pickaxe.

Its more fast than other way?

2

Yeah I’ve known about this method for a while but is there a consistent way to do that?

3

I guess, you put the pickaxe like the other method, you crouch, wait a bit and jump pressing W for stop your speed and strafe:D

4

I think it depends on the angle you pick up the pickax from the elevator.

5

Yeah you should also show how you held the pickaxe when you did the SPD, since it gives you different boosts depending on the angle.

6

Mmmh… I thinks this trick its only in the new version of HL2Ep2, cuz I downloaded the preupdate and I can’t do this :c

7

It’s probably just that you held the pickaxe differently in the elevator. As far as I know SPD hasn’t changed at all between different versions of new engine.

I picked it up the same way S. does in his run, works the same way pretty much every time.
