F.E.A.R. Hints

How can I get back into a building?

  • 1 of 12: Walk along the alley until you find a "No Admittance" door on your left.
  • 2 of 12: Unfortunately, it's perfectly serious about that, so you'll have to move on.
  • 3 of 12: Just ahead and to the right is an alley with a spooky little TV in it that's showing the latest episode of "The Misadventures of Alma, Freaky Poster Child of F.E.A.R."
  • 4 of 12: After watching that, move forward cautiously since there are some Replicas at the end of the alley past the next turn. (If there aren't any, wait for them to show up.)
  • 5 of 12: TIP: If you have a sniper weapon with you, it would be ideal to use against them.
  • 6 of 12: After you finish them off and round the corner, a truck will drive up and let three more Replicas out the back.
  • 7 of 12: Quickly shoot them down while they're still clustered in the truck (especially if you're using a rocket launcher or repeating cannon on them).
  • 8 of 12: TIP: Jump into the back of their truck to find some supplies.
  • 9 of 12: Start looking around near the truck for a way to get into a building.
  • 10 of 12: Down a small side alley near the truck is a blocked door with a boarded-over window next to it.
  • 11 of 12: If you carefully examine the boards on the window, you'll recognize them as the bashable kind.
  • 12 of 12: So bash or shoot them all off and then go through the window. (Jump onto the pipes in front of it and then crouch-walk through.)
