F.E.A.R. Hints

How should I handle this big battle?

  • 1 of 9: Soon after you go through the double doors, a truck will crash into the room and let out some Replicas.
  • 2 of 9: SlowMo-shoot one or two of them, then retreat back to (or through) the window to let SlowMo recharge.
  • 3 of 9: You'll want to lure the next bunch of Replicas to you rather than go outside to meet them since there's a rocket-launching Heavy Armor out there. You'll definitely want to save him for last.
  • 4 of 9: When you've gotten all the troops who'll come inside after you, find the side room with a small door that exits to the outside.
  • 5 of 9: Break the window on the door and shoot Replicas through it, retreating quickly any time the Heavy Armor comes into view.
  • 6 of 9: When you're ready for the Heavy Armor, use SlowMo to duck out of cover and snipe him a bit with something like the particle weapon or repeating cannon.
  • 7 of 9: After he's damaged, wait until your SlowMo bar is full, then charge him with the shotgun. You can easily dodge his rockets (unless you're on a high difficulty) and blast him in the faceplate until he's down.
  • 8 of 9: After the battle's over, search the area thoroughly (including inside the two armored trucks) to find lots of medkits and body armor to heal up with.
  • 9 of 9: Also, go get the Heavy Armor's rocket launcher if you want to have it on hand for future Heavies.
