Background Info
How did I find this?
Well, I’m lazy and there was no way I was getting this legit. I had recently played Half Life 2: Episode 2 and got the “Get Some Grub” achievement by downloading someone’s map (from the Steam guides) but when I tried to use a Steam guide for this achievement, I noticed they all sucked. One just let’s you discover how many are left, and the other requires you to modify “hex code?????” So therefore, I googled away for a game save and found this map online.
I’m an average guy who just wants achievements man..
It didn’t work?
Please post a comment explaining your situation or send me a message and I will try to help you. If I cannot get back to you soon, please talk with others in the comments who have used the guide through the comments.
What else?
Lastly, I would appreciate if you guys left a comment saying it worked or not. I would like to legitimize this guide so that MANY MANY MANY players of Half Life 2 don’t have to suffer through all of those lambda caches. Its amazing that after all these years, no one has made a Steam guide for this. I just want this guide to get as much exposure as possible so everyone can get that last achievement. Feel free to browse my achievements for proof that I have them all! Hope this helps!
