Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints
How should I prepare for the next objective?
1 of 6: During that objective, you'll have to wait until the slow old funicular arrives. While you wait, several soldiers will come into the room and look for you.
2 of 6: One way to prepare for that is to hack the computer that's near the ladder you climbed down earlier. You can then click on "enemies" to get the turret to fire at your enemies instead of you. (Note that doing this requires the "Capture 2" and "Robot Domination" upgrades for the "Hacking: Capture" cranium augmentation.)
3 of 6: Another way to prepare is to pick up the smaller of the two movable crates that are near the computer and carry it over to the steps that lead to the funicular's doors. (Make sure the camera and turret can't see you as you go.)
4 of 6: Drop the crate in front of the right half of the doors so that you can crouch down behind it.
5 of 6: If you have the arm upgrade that allows you to move and throw heavy objects, you can build a more extensive barrier at the top of the steps using the larger movable crate and the vending machine that's in the hallway.
6 of 6: Or better yet, block the room's two doorways. The larger crate and vending machine can block the wider doorway, and the vending machine that's down the big east/west hall can block the other one. (Note that there's a vent shaft behind the first vending machine that you can use to enter the room after the doorways are blocked.)
