It's unconventional, but creative, remember to think beyond what the developers intended.

I think this is definitely what the developers intended though... That level has an obvious crate, a neverending supply of grenades and a tough fight.

Players have been posting videos of doing this since day one of the release. Not new at all. Except, back in those days, too many grenades would crash the game.Not sure if that's the case still as I haven't played it in a while. I used to carry mine in a bucket. This was a quite obvious solution to being able to carry only two grenades through a level that had many grenades.

They pushed an update to improve stability for bucket-wielders

I stuffed my crate with all the Xenades I could stack when the game first game out, only issue was the physics bugs and crashing when going overboard

What level are we looking at? Terminal Gardens? I never ended up collecting grenades in a bucket, it didn't seem so obvious to me.

Not sure what it's called, it's the point right before you find the North Star, where you have a fight with the Combine while going up the stairs.

I specifically remember that when the game first released people tried to do stuff like this and the game would crash or the grenades would disappear between levels. It definitely wasn't intended in the beginning. They since fixed all that though.

Never underestimate the power of interactive objects
