F.E.A.R. Hints
How should I handle all the Replica battles in the next few areas?
1 of 13: The one that you find all alone in a side room is easy.
2 of 13: If you're fast and sneaky enough (or use SlowMo), you can come up behind him and whack him to death with your assault rifle's stock. Otherwise, use the old pistol-shot-to-the-back-of-the-head routine.
3 of 13: After getting the supplies in his room, move on to where you can cross some water using a walkway or head right through a doorway that some zombie briefly appears in.
4 of 13: Both routes lead to the same large room with Replicas in it, but the "zombie way" goes past a side room with some body armor and a medkit.
5 of 13: After you lure all the Replicas to their deaths, look around their room for a couple of medkits.
6 of 13: Then climb the stairs to get to a small office with supplies in it, plus a passage that leads to a room with more supplies on a shelf. I guess the game figured that last bunch of Replicas would tear you up pretty badly.
7 of 13: Or maybe it figures the next bunch will. Near the shelf of supplies is an EXIT door that leads outside to a large area with many Replicas in it.
8 of 13: As usual, sneak out and shoot one before they see you, then retreat back through the EXIT door and shoot them using SlowMo as they come inside after you (or as you can target them through the door or window).
9 of 13: When they're finally all down, go out and explore around their complicated catwalks-all-over-the-place area.
10 of 13: Be warned, though, that in the back of the area is a path (both on ground level and on upper catwalks) that leads to a similar area with another large squad of Replicas.
11 of 13: I advise you to approach that second area on the ground and use the usual lure-them-out tactics, watching the catwalk above you to make sure none of them sneak around behind you that way.
12 of 13: After it's all over, be sure to search near each dead Replica for weapons, especially since one of them has a shiny new shotgun you can replace one of your current weapons with. (I prefer to drop the pistols for it, keeping the sub-machinegun and assault rifle.)
13 of 13: NOTE: To replace a weapon you've got with one that you haven't got, equip the one you want to swap out and then use the Use key on the weapon you're trying to get.
