Quake 4 Hints

How can I deactivate the laser scanner so the marines can get through alive?

  • 1 of 4: As one of them points out, you can easily go through the scanner without damage since you're all Stroggy and everything.
  • 2 of 4: However, that won't save you from what's waiting on the other side of the door past the laser scanner.
  • 3 of 4: After you kill Strogvoss, two doors in the combat arena will unlock.
  • 4 of 4: One of them goes back to the laser scanner area, and the other leads to the control panel you need to use to turn that scanner off.
