Quake 4 Hints

What's the best way to get through the semi-circular area with drop-turrets?

  • 1 of 4: It's best to switch to your tank's machinegun when blasting these drop-turrets.
  • 2 of 4: After destroying the first two or three drop-turrets, let your shields fully regenerate before you move on to the next ones.
  • 3 of 4: As you proceed, use the zoom feature to blast drop-turrets at maximum range if you're using the cannon. You can often shoot them with the cannon or machinegun before you're close enough for them to shoot back.
  • 4 of 4: The Strogg who are on foot in the small building past the drop-turret area can be blasted or just quickly run over.
