Steinman Combat Tips
1 of 8: Before you go into the viewing rooms, hack the health station that's just outside them so that Steinman will get hurt if he tries to use it.
2 of 8: Go back and activate your security bot, then enter the viewing rooms and approach the large window through which you can see Steinman.
3 of 8: Quickly strafe either to the left or right when he grabs his machine gun and shoots out the window.
4 of 8: As soon as he stops firing, strafe out of cover and hit him with a few rounds from your machine gun. That'll get your security bot after him.
5 of 8: Hang back and shoot Steinman with the pistol and/or machine gun while he's busy focusing on your bot.
6 of 8: He often gets so focused on the bot that you'll be able to run up to him and get in a few whacks with the wrench or point-blank blasts with the shotgun.
7 of 8: I hope you hacked the gun turret and health station outside, since Steinman will probably run out there and try to use the health station at some point.
8 of 8: There's another health station down in the flooded lower portion of the viewing rooms. You might want to run down there and quickly hack it as soon as Steinman and your security bot start fighting. He sometimes runs down there instead of out to the corridor.
