F.E.A.R. Hints

Eliminate ATC threat

  • 1 of 11: Keep left as you head out onto the rooftop area where the helicopter took off. There are several ATC guys on an adjacent rooftop area.
  • 2 of 11: When you've finally got 'em all, go get their ammo and then find the doors that lead into the building.
  • 3 of 11: There's one on the raised walkway and one down on the lower floor.
  • 4 of 11: They both lead to the same areas, but if you go in through the upper door, you may miss some optional goodies.
  • 5 of 11: After going up the stairs and exiting to the rooftop segment that ATC snipers were on earlier, turn left and head to the back of it.
  • 6 of 11: Two ATC guards will come out of a door down on a lower floor. SlowMo-shoot them before they see you.
  • 7 of 11: Jump down to their level and use their door to get back in the building.
  • 8 of 11: Move down a dim hallway to get to a well-lit supply room, where you should immediately look to the right and SlowMo-shoot some ATC guys who are on a lower floor across a dark gap.
  • 9 of 11: After they're dead, jump over the railing to fall down into a large pool of water.
  • 10 of 11: TIP: You could save a bit of ammo by quickly doing the rail-jump as soon as you enter the area instead of shooting the ATC guys.
  • 11 of 11: Find the ladder near the pool and use it to climb out.
