F.E.A.R. Hints
How should I handle the turrets?
1 of 5: They can track you in any direction, so it's always best to hide behind cover to avoid their fire.
2 of 5: When they have to pause to reload, you can duck out of cover and quickly shoot them.
3 of 5: Also, you can use SlowMo to help dodge their shots while you charge them and blast them with the shotgun or something like that.
4 of 5: TIP: The first turret will appear in the circle you can see on the ceiling near the closed grate door, so look that way and be ready when Mapes activates them. If you initiate SlowMo the instant the turret starts descending, you can blast it to pieces with the shotgun before it can get even one shot off. (Or if you're standing directly underneath it, you can be a bit slower and still destroy it before it can shoot you.)
5 of 5: ALTERNATIVE: You could just skip shooting that turret -- instead, run back the way you came as soon as Mapes sees you and starts talking. Some turrets later on can also be skipped without much injury by using cover to make your way past them, but this is really only advisable if you're low on ammo.
