F.E.A.R. Hints

Robot Sentries

  • First Seen: Interval 07, Flight

    These hovering robots don't move very fast, but each one has three "arms" fitted with small laser cannons that you definitely don't want to get shot by. The laser beams are very hard to dodge even in SlowMo, so it's best to always retreat behind cover and wait for sentries to come to you. As soon as they appear near you, turn on SlowMo and blast them with the shotgun. (It'll only take two direct hits to the robot's central body.)

    NOTE: When you're in areas patrolled by these things, always listen carefully for the gunshot-like sound that means more have been activated nearby.
