* DoorToBefore: There's several doors throughout the lab that can't be opened until you've made your way further through the lab in order to open these doors up from behind.
* EscortMission: You're required to escort a scientist back to the lab's front door in order to open the locked front entrance to get outside. At worst, you only have to kill one newcomer HECU soldier at the end as the player would have killed all the other enemies beforehand.

Gordon escapes from Residue Processing and ends up at a mysterious laboratory where Black Mesa scientists were collecting wildlife from Xen. Here, Gordon comes across a security guard warning him that the lobby entrance door to make it outside remains locked unless it's given scanner access from a Black Mesa scientist. The [[EliteMooks Alien Grunt]] is also introduced here, and Gordon has the option of retrieving a prototype [[EnergyWeapon Tau Cannon]] for the road ahead.

Fighting his way through the lab that's crawling with HECU marines and alien invaders, Gordon eventually reaches a laser testing area where blasting a massive laser through a concrete wall allows for Gordon to reach a locked off area where the last few surviving scientists of the lab remain in hiding. Gordon then brings one of the scientists back to unlock the lobby's front door so that he can get outside, and continue his trip to the Lambda complex.
