Quake 4 Hints
So now how do I finally get the "torso storage devices" going again?
1 of 5: Wait until the long elevator ride is over, during which the tech who's with you will finally upgrade your railgun so that its slugs can rip through enemies, possibly damaging more than one per shot. (Do you ever get the feeling that these long-awaited upgrades are just adding capabilities to your guns that should have been there from the start? I sure do.)
2 of 5: After the lift stops, go through a few dark and creepy "torso" rooms, the second of which has some supplies to the left of the entrance and some armor in a nearby side room, and the third of which has a Strogg health station.
3 of 5: Several areas past that, you'll get a cut-scene that introduces you to the iron maiden. As if you needed more screwy Strogg monster types running ... uh, floating around.
