Quake 4 Hints

How do I get to the local security station?

  • 1 of 8: Once again, it's way out on a platform sticking out from the tower roof.
  • 2 of 8: After you finish looting Cougar Squad's remains, move on to find a familiar-looking room with a big viewport. (It's just like the one you saw when you were near the roof access elevator in the data storage tower.)
  • 3 of 8: Sure enough, there's an elevator just a short ways ahead that will take you up to the roof.
  • 4 of 8: Once on the roof, you're going to have to deal with two of those hideous floating guys who have shoulder-mounted missile launchers. This is the first time you've had to face them on foot, so step lively to dodge their homing rockets while shooting them with your rockets (or whatever works for you).
  • 5 of 8: TIP: The best way to avoid getting hit by the rockets is to keep moving so that there's some obstruction between you and the rocketeers.
  • 6 of 8: After you kill them and a gladiator that shows up and joins in, you'll have the roof to yourselves.
  • 7 of 8: Find and use the security panel at the end of a stick-out platform just like the one in the data storage area.
  • 8 of 8: As before, your companion will stay behind while you head off to find a tram to take you to the next tower.
