F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Hints

Defeat the powered armor unit.

  • 1 of 8: You'll get this objective while working on the "Close the pressure valves to get the lift operational" objective.
  • 2 of 8: Sprint immediately over to the cargo lift and hide next to the Replica pods, on the side nearest the lift.
  • 3 of 8: After the power armor breaks through one of the closed metal doors along the back wall, it'll stomp its way over to you and get damaged by your prox mines if you set them as I advised earlier. (Make sure you're not in a spot where the mines' explosions can damage you.)
  • 4 of 8: While using the pods as cover, get out your combat shotgun and select your shock grenades.
  • 5 of 8: Pull a shock grenade out and "cook" it a bit, then toss it at the power armor to temporarily fizzle its systems.
  • 6 of 8: Immediately close in with the shotgun and give it several point-blank blasts in SlowMo mode.
  • 7 of 8: When it starts to recover, run back around the pods for cover. Keep maneuvering for cover until SlowMo recharges, then repeat the process.
  • 8 of 8: Unless you skipped the step of setting prox mines, you should be able to destroy the power armor after using only one or two shock grenades.
