F.E.A.R. Hints

Shut down local security system

  • 1 of 7: After handing Mapes a comlink through the window, wait for him to open the nearby door.
  • 2 of 7: TIP: Before you go through that door, go find yourself another reflex booster.
  • 3 of 7: Move past Mapes and explore the rooms beyond him to find a spare medkit and an exit to an area with a small sitting room.
  • 4 of 7: Find the cubicle area past the sitting room and go through it, then move into the next area cautiously since it starts up another series of standard Replica Trooper battles.
  • 5 of 7: When you're done looting the guard room that's full of weapons and stuff, look around for a panel you can use.
  • 6 of 7: There's a blue one on the desk that has the word "activate" on it, so use it.
  • 7 of 7: Unfortunately, that dumb ape Mapes will run off without helping you, so it's back to the Locate and reset network hub objective.
