Quake 4 Hints
Where do I take the guys after the laser scanner is deactivated?
1 of 7: After going and getting them, approach the only remaining locked door in the combat arena.
2 of 7: It'll soon unlock, allowing you all to move on to an area with a bunch more combat with Strogg marines and such.
3 of 7: TIP: Before you go there, have the marine tech and medic get your armor and health back up to 125 each, then go back through all the previous areas looking for ammo you didn't need before. You can go all the way back to where that weak bridge dropped you down into a zombie area if you want to.
4 of 7: You could let your companions do a lot of the combat for you, but they'll all get killed if you let them, and you'll probably want the medic and tech guy alive to recharge your health and armor afterwards. (Then again, as long as you survive this level, you'll be fully restored on board the Hannibal.)
5 of 7: NOTE: The Strogg will roll an explosive barrel down each of the two large staircases you come to. To help protect your guys, quickly shoot each barrel to pieces before it can reach the bottom.
6 of 7: After a couple of rooms of combat, you'll find a jammed-open door that leads outside to the evac ship.
7 of 7: Simply approach it to finish the level and get taken to Operation: Last Hope.
