Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

How can I get past these turrets safely?

  • 1 of 6: Stay back from one and watch its two red scanning beams go round.
  • 2 of 6: Those beams have a limited range, so you're safe as long as you're not close to the turret. (In other words, the things are very near-sighted.)
  • 3 of 6: You could run up close to a turret when neither of its scanning beams is facing you, then make your way around it while staying out of the beams.
  • 4 of 6: Another, much trickier, way is to hop up on the railing and make your way past a turret on it. You'll have to be careful going past the skinny vertical beams, and you'll have to stand up to make the jump across the rail gap (if you're going past the turret that has a rail gap next to it).
  • 5 of 6: If you have the arm augmentation that lets you move and throw heavy objects, you could throw one of the large wooden crates at a turret to set it off. You'd then have a few seconds to sprint past it before it reactivated.
  • 6 of 6: If you have enough ammo, you can shoot out a turret. That'll keep it down for good.
