F.E.A.R. Hints

Ceiling Turrets

  • First Seen: Interval 06, Unauthorized Personnel

    These turrets descend through circular openings in the ceiling when activated and can track targets across a full 360-degree range. They fire several short bursts and then reload, so it's best to hide behind cover while they're firing and duck out and shoot them when they're reloading. You can also use SlowMo to help you shoot them while dodging their shots.

    If you wait under cover for awhile after they stop shooting at you, they'll be turned away from you when you come out, giving you time to SlowMo-shoot them before they can reacquire you as a target. Also, some turrets can be shut down if you can make it to the switch in a nearby side area.
