F.E.A.R. Hints
How can I get to the lobby they closed off with that security door?
1 of 11: Head to the right of the security door and look around.
2 of 11: It looks like a dead end, but there must be some way to move onward.
3 of 11: Break and jump through either of the two large windows in that hallway.
4 of 11: Search the cubicles for supplies, then leave the cubicle room through the open doorway in the back.
5 of 11: Find the nearby dark hallway and hit the SlowMo button as soon as you see the Replicas at the other end of it.
6 of 11: Go through the doorway down at their end and explore around to find a well-stocked armory and *two* control consoles with blue "activate" buttons on them.
7 of 11: The button that's below the staticky monitor that shows a closed security door is the one that opens the door to the lobby you need to get into.
8 of 11: You could run straight back to the lobby and start emptying your ammo clips on all the Replicas in there, but there's a lot of them and they have a real uncanny knack for firing at you from out of nowhere. (Straight through solid floors and walls, I strongly suspect.)
9 of 11: So first go use the other blue "activate" button to take control of a turret in that lobby and shoot down several Replicas with it.
10 of 11: As with the turret you controlled in an earlier mission, hold down the Fire button and pan around quickly in order to kill as many Replicas as possible before the turret is destroyed.
11 of 11: Unlike before, this turret seems to do a lot of good. It's actually possible to kill *all* of the Replicas in the lobby without the turret being destroyed. (If you manage this, hit the Use key to back out of the turret-control view.)
