Merc Combat Tips
1 of 8: If you're lucky, several mercs will charge you, but won't come into the entry room with you.
2 of 8: If that's the case, you can easily use the old strafe-and-fire tactic against them.
3 of 8: However, if they do come into the entry room with you, they will quickly overwhelm you.
4 of 8: Your only chance is to run for the exit console and use it to go back outside before you get killed.
5 of 8: Get back in the Mako and wait for shield and health regeneration, then get out and go back inside the building (after quicksaving).
6 of 8: All the mercs will have retreated to their main room, though they will charge you again once they know you're back.
7 of 8: Keep up the process of hurting them as much as you can before being forced to retreat outside until you manage to finish off all the ones who charge you.
8 of 8: After that, it should be easy to finish off the snipers who hide in the back areas.
