F.E.A.R. Hints
How should I deal with these Power Armors?
1 of 11: Don't stand and look out the windows for long, because it won't take the nearest Power Armor long to blow away the ATC wimps and start shooting at you.
2 of 11: Run along and go through a doorway before you can become a target.
3 of 11: In the next room, climb down the ladder at the other end of the walkway.
4 of 11: The Power Armor will choose that moment to blow open the large door at the other end of the room that leads outside.
5 of 11: Fortunately, it'll stay outside instead of coming into the room with you, which means you can use the large doorway to fire at it and then strafe quickly to cover.
6 of 11: TIP: There's a side corridor to this room that goes through some areas with supplies in them.
7 of 11: Unfortunately, there's no special trick to finishing off this Power Armor. You'll just have to do a bunch of tedious SlowMo-shooting him from a distance and then ducking back into cover.
8 of 11: It would really help if you brought a rocket launcher or repeating cannon with you to shoot him with, especially since he tends to hang back to where grenades can't be used against him very effectively.
9 of 11: NOTE: If you want to get closer to the Power Armor and possibly use grenades while still having cover to hide behind, you could climb back up the ladder and return to the room with all the windows. The Power Armor will stomp over fairly close to you, allowing you to cast SlowMo, duck out of cover long enough to toss a grenade, and then duck back into cover. It's really hard to avoid rocket splash damage up there, though.
10 of 11: After you finish off that Power Armor and move forward through his area a ways, the other Power Armor will appear, forcing you to retreat and use the same tactics against it.
11 of 11: This second Power Armor will hang back even farther than the first one, so you'll probably want to use the large "Halford Cargo" container near the flaming car as cover instead of going all the way back to the large doorway you used before.
