F.E.A.R. Hints

What's the best way to deal with all of them?

  • 1 of 8: There may be one or more hiding behind one of the air conditioning structures on your part of the roof. If so, they'll spot you as you come out the door, so quickly eliminate them.
  • 2 of 8: After sneaking over to the left side of your rooftop area, peek around the corner and let the rest of the ATC guys see you.
  • 3 of 8: Quickly retreat back to cover and watch for any of them to come up the nearby stairs in an attempt to rush you.
  • 4 of 8: Also, look around the corner periodically so that you can see and shoot any ATC guys on the lower floor nearby without getting in range of the ones with the ASP rifles.
  • 5 of 8: There are a couple of ATC guys with ASP rifles up on a higher rooftop segment across the way. After dealing with the other ATCs, you may want to use your ASP rifle to SlowMo-shoot those snipers if they don't come down to a closer position (which they sometimes do if you wait under cover long enough).
  • 6 of 8: TIP: If you don't have an ASP rifle with you, you can go back inside and find one leaning on the wall next to the non-working elevator.
  • 7 of 8: After you kill off all the ATC guys who appear while you're moving around on the starting rooftop area, go down the stairs to the lower floor and prepare to retreat back to your safe spot as several more enemies appear.
  • 8 of 8: Repeat the fire-and-cover tactic until they're all down.
