F.E.A.R. Hints
How can I handle such a big attack in this small area?
1 of 9: It's bad to be caught out in the open near the guy in the chair, so look around for exits.
2 of 9: There's a door in the wall to the left, past the crates with a medkit on them, but it's locked.
3 of 9: You'll need to take cover wherever you can and use SlowMo and Zoom mode to help you gun down the Replicas as they appear on the upper walkways.
4 of 9: I found it pretty effective to take cover behind the box in the corner near the locked door and use SlowMo to quickly shoot down any soldiers that appeared on the catwalk segment visible from there.
5 of 9: As soon as two Replicas blow open the locked door, turn and shoot them down.
6 of 9: After you're sure you've shot every Replica who's going to appear on the upper walkways for now, go through the blown-open door.
7 of 9: Make your way along, blasting any Replicas that appear in your path (and getting a couple more prox grenades from on a large red tool cabinet), until you reach a closed door with a large window to the left of it.
8 of 9: Move up so that the Replicas on the other side can see you, then quickly retreat a ways and prepare for several of them to follow you. (Or stand at the door and SlowMo-shoot them through the door's window -- the shotgun is especially good for this.)
9 of 9: After you get all of them, you'll be in a Replica-free area for a little while.
