Quake 4 Hints
How can I shut down the defense grid?
1 of 9: You first have to escort Engineer Newberry to the door that he's supposed to open.
2 of 9: When a grunt attacks Jones past the newly opened door, run back to the marine group you just passed so they'll have to deal with it for you.
3 of 9: Then find the panel in one corner of the room past the door and use it to call a lift.
4 of 9: Take it up and proceed through a couple of unlocked doors to reach a locked one.
5 of 9: Forget about opening it. Instead, look down and to the left.
6 of 9: Drop down through the rail gap to land next to the panel you need to use.
7 of 9: TIP: To avoid damage on this fall, drop to the small brown pipes coming out of the large red vertical pipe that's nearby before you drop to the floor.
8 of 9: When you use the first panel, another one will come down into range.
9 of 9: Use it to finally shut down the defense grid.
