Quake 4 Hints

What is it I'm supposed to do after we capture the air defense cannon?

  • 1 of 6: There's a large door on the other side of the outdoor area that needs to be opened.
  • 2 of 6: Since your fellow marines can't unlock it or pry it open in any way, maybe the cannon could be used to blast it open.
  • 3 of 6: Enter the chair in the center of the control area to take control of the cannon.
  • 4 of 6: Then lower its aim toward the huge door you see ahead of you with some Strogg near it.
  • 5 of 6: Fire the cannon to blow the door and the Strogg away.
  • 6 of 6: Once it's done, press the Jump key to jump out of the seat.
