F.E.A.R. Hints
What's the best way to handle all of these Replicas?
1 of 9: It's easy to stay at the corner you're looking around and shoot the nearby stationary Replica dead with a pistol shot to the back of the head, using Zoom mode to help you aim.
2 of 9: Wait for another Replica to appear outside the half-open bay door, then turn SlowMo on and shoot him to death with the pistol.
3 of 9: As soon as he's down, turn SlowMo off and go back to the alley and wait next to the door to hide from the Replicas who'll probably soon show up to investigate the sudden deaths. They'll often search the entire area, but will usually miss you if you're outside.
4 of 9: Wait until the heat's off, then sneak back to where you shot the first guy. You may see another Replica there who's taken the first guy's post. If so, shoot him down the same way.
5 of 9: If not, watch for another patrolling Replica to go past the big half-open door and pistol-shoot him in SlowMo mode when he does.
6 of 9: Then retreat to the alley once more to wait for the furor to die down before going back to pick off another target.
7 of 9: When they stop coming inside after you, you'll have to cautiously sneak out to their outside area to find more targets to lure in.
8 of 9: This is a rather slow and tedious way of doing things, but it can work really well, and is especially useful if you're playing at "high" or "extreme" difficulty.
9 of 9: TIP: Even after they all know where you are, they still usually won't follow you all the way to the alley, so you can always retreat there and wait for your SlowMo bar to recharge, then rush back in and use SlowMo to take down another Replica or two. Repeat until all of them are dead. (If one does follow you into the alley, he should be an easy target coming out of the door, especially if you have a bit of SlowMo built up to use on him.)
