F.E.A.R. Hints

How should I take this next batch of Replicas down?

  • 1 of 9: Pretty much the same way you took the first large group of them down at the shipping yard.
  • 2 of 9: Start off by sneakily crouch-walking to the doorway where you can see the first Replica ahead of you and to the left of some shelves.
  • 3 of 9: It's hard to kill him in one shot from the pistol, even if you carefully aim at his head and use Zoom mode, so save your game before you try.
  • 4 of 9: As soon as he's down, back up in case the other Replica in the room charges you or throws a grenade.
  • 5 of 9: If he charges you, use SlowMo and melee attacks to take him down. Otherwise, turn on SlowMo and strafe into his room while looking left so you can quickly shoot him down.
  • 6 of 9: Run back through the two doorways you came in through and return to the large storeroom to let your SlowMo meter recharge while you're under cover. Be ready with the sub-machinegun if any Replicas from the next rooms come all the way out to get you, though they probably won't.
  • 7 of 9: Repeat this cautious attack-and-retreat strategy until the rooms are clear all the way through the one that has the stairs in its back corner.
  • 8 of 9: There's only one Replica in the rooms at the top of the stairs, so you can pretty much just charge up there and hit the SlowMo key as soon as you see him.
  • 9 of 9: Then take the time to go back and search the two offices on the lower floor for supplies (2 medkits, some body armor, and 2 frag grenades).
