Hints

Saving Medkits

Make a mark of some sort to lead you back on some Medkits that you could not carry before. If you so happen to run out of your own because of a big fight you can find them again. This is useful in Interval 11 with the armies of ghosts coming after you. Just make sure that you are able to backtrack to get the Medkits you left behind.

Use your Medkits at the correct time. Do not use Medkits immediately when you have about 70 to 80 health remaining. Try using a Medkit when your health drops below 30. One Medkit can heal up to about 30 to 45 points. If your health happens to drop below 40 and you are in a 1v1 or 2v1 fight, do not bother using a Medkit unless you really need to. Just run to cover while using your slow-mo abilities. Your health will regenerate slowly back to 40 if it drops below that, however you must be out of the firefight to regenerate your health.

Saving ammunition and time

If there are no enemies or music playing, holster your weapon. You save ammunition and can move faster to get through quicker. This also helps you outrun paranormal activity or get through it faster.

Defeating Assassin Super Soldiers

Because the assassins are difficult to see due to their camouflage and high speed running, try using slow-motion with L2  PlayStation3  or LB  Xbox 360  . You will notice them immediately once they are slowed. After that, let all of your rounds into them.

If you do not have slow-motion (for example, in the bonus mission when playing as the demolition man), you must have a quick finger and a good eye to notice them running around. There are two ways to do this. The first is to toss a grenade to reveal the assassin for a certain amount of time. Hopefully the splash radius will either hit him or kill him. Note: The grenade has a two to four second delay before exploding, and correct timing is required. The second way is to wait until the assassin approaches directly in front of you. When he reveals himself, start firing at him.

Defeating Heavy Armor

Wait for slow motion to get up to full and make sure you have a shotgun. When ready, activate slow motion and fire as many rounds into the armor as possible. During this, it is also a good idea to circle around it to throw off its fire. This tactic is not useful if slow motion is off. The Particle weapon, Repeating cannon, and Rocket Launcher also does a great deal of damage against them.

If done correctly, Slide Kicks will kill a Heavy Armor in one hit.
Leonel Diaz

Defeating Nightmares

Pistols can easily defeat nightmares. They can take them out in one shot, compared to other weapons that require multiple shots (except heavy weapons). This is also very useful, due to the fact that certain times when Alma and Fettel take you to hell, you will lose all weapons and get a pistol.

Defeating Stealth Soldiers

Holster your weapon when they appear and use slow motion. Use a round house, slide, or bicycle kick when they are close.

Use the following trick in Interval 8, Mission 2 during a Stealth Soldier attack. When you enter the warehouse, kill the first one that is in front of you and allow the second one to hit you. Watch it go away and keep an eye on it. It will come back and will jump across the ravine in order to reach you. When it does jump, use slow motion and a round house kick.

Corner yourself so the Stealth Soldiers cannot sneak up behind you. A wall will work, but a corner is recommended so you have a better view.
Leonel Diaz

A shotgun will work nicely against any Stealth Soldier.

Defeating groups

Use the following tactics to defeat groups.
Leonel Diaz

• Rush the enemy and take out as much enemy troops as possible, then hide.
• If the group has a Heavy Armor, take out the guards first then attack the armor.
• If you are in a tight spot and enemies are approaching in front of you, using slow motion and Drop Kick works nicely. Most of the time this will kill enemy troops with one hit.
• If there is a lot in a group, use grenades.

Defeating enemy groups without being spotted

If the an enemy does not know you are there, holster your weapon and melee the guards. If you are lucky, the fallen guard will make little noise, and they will not look at you when you do it. You can dispose of the most of the guards without firing a shot.

Interval 01: Alma crying

Before the first apparition of Charles' face, check the broken down door right over the table. Look into it to hear Alma crying. However you normally cannot see her.To actually see Alma, go back to the pair of double doors you saw before you saw the broken table. Keep opening and closing them. After awhile, the "Incoming: Unknown Origin" will appear. Keep doing this. After a few more minutes, the doors will disappear and you will enter a paranormal vision.

Interval 02 Half Life 2 reference

One of the people communicating to Betters and the SOF-D team is named "A. Sheppard". This is a reference to the main character of Half-Life 2: Adrain Sheppard.

Interval 03, Mission 2: Skip scene

To the scene skip when Alma appears on the ladder, simply jump down instead of climbing down. This however will use up some life and therefore is not recommended.

Interval 03, Mission 2: Avoiding damage

When Alma takes you into the vision, turn around after the door explodes or else you will take damage from a nightmare.

Interval 04: Office Space reference

While making your way through the large office building, look for papers hung on the wall or scattered on desks. Many of these papers have "TPS Report" written on them, as well as a symbol including three boxes at the top. This is a reference to the popular movie Office Space in which the characters are involved with TPS reports at their office, Initech, which has almost the same logo as the symbol at the top of the papers.

As you are making your way through the large office building, about midway through the level there should be a large room filled with cubicles, with multiple offices on the side. One of the cubicles in the middle of the room has a lot of boxes piled into it, with a red stapler on the desk. This is in reference to the character Milton in Office Space. Management is always making him move his desk and using his area for storage, as well as stealing his red Swingline stapler. This can be found in the same area as multiple T.P.S. reports.

Interval 08, Mission 1: Skip scene

To skip the scene with Fettel kidnapping Alice (even though it is an apparition), simply shoot Alice or Fettel. You will however find an additional scene with Alice's body on the floor (also an apparition). This might be a sign of the future though because Alice's body is discovered in Interval 10 in the same way.

Interval 11: Alma in Hard mode

In the last interval, beware when Alma attempts to go after you in the last vision. On Hard mode and above the rooms will be pitch black, allowing Alma to hide and attack you without being seen. Pay close attention to anything that appears to be moving in this last vision. Also, the flashlight and slow motion will be useless.

Heavy Resistance: Extra Alma scene

Near the start, kill the clone soldier that is by himself. Then, look at one of the security cameras.

Reappearance of first level

If you look around during two of the Alma visions, you will notice that it looks similar to the first level.

Recommended weapons

Always have an assault rifle or sub machine gun with you. They are actually very good in most situations. Pistols are only good in paranormal attacks. Shotguns also work as well.
Leonel Diaz

Surviving paranormal activities

To avoid shellshock, always look around in a paranormal vision first before moving on. Also if Alma is in her child form, go towards her to move on. If she is in her older form, run away. It is also a good idea to shoot while running.
Leonel Diaz

Health booster locations

Interval 01: Rooms on right side where you meet Jankowski. Go to the rooms on the right before going upstairs.

Interval 02: Just before you go up to the room where you meet Alma, check the back. It is near the part where you see Jankowski's second ghost.

Interval 03 mission 1: In the sewer where Alma is. Be careful because you will encounter another Alma scene when you pick this up.

Interval 03, mission 2: Check the sewers when you first encounter Moddy's ghost.

Weapon alerts

Weapons are available for a reason. They actually indicate what will be up ahead before you fight.
Leonel Diaz

Pistols: One pistol indicates Paranormal activity is nearby. Two pistols do not mean anything.

Sub machine: This indicates that there will be lots of any type of soldiers nearby.

Assault rifle: This does not means anything, as they are found throughout the game.

Nail gun: This indicates that long distance firing will be needed soon, or heavy armor is close by.

Shotgun: This does not usually mean anything, as they are found throughout the game. However, it may indicate heavy armor.

Rocket Launcher: Indicates that a Mech, Leviathan, or heavy armor is close by (not so much Heavy armor).

Repeating cannon: Indicates that lots of enemy soldiers, mechs, etc. are near. Basically, there is a lot of everything coming up. It also indicates that the end of the game is near when more quantities of them are found.

Particle weapon: Indicates possible snipers or heavy armor.

Mines: Indicates that a platoon of enemy soldiers is close by.

Being alert to paranormal threats

The following list shows what you will notice when paranormal activity is close. Use this to prepare for any frightening scenes up ahead.

• You see Alma.
• There is a black cloud.
• There are flickering lights.
• The room is dark with not a lot of light.
• There are no enemies around.
• Communication says, "Incoming: Unknown origin".
• You see a large amount of blood with no bodies.
• You see Paxton Fettel.
• You hear voices.
• Objects move on their own.
• The flashlight and/or slow motion stops working.
• You enter slow motion on your own.

Knowing Norton Mapes is bad early

You can easily tell that Norton Mapes is a bad guy because the fire alarm room will have a Cheesy Poofs bag in it. When you turn off the fire alarm, look to the right.

Norton Mapes' belt

Check Norton Mapes' belt when you first encounter him. It reads "RTFM", which stands for "Read the f*cking manual", which is meant for non-computer literate people.

Gamer's machine consoles

In the harbor mission, you will find plenty of consoles with "Power and shutdown." There are however, one or two machines that have wording similar to "Coins collected, secrets found, lives spent, ammo used, etc.". It is a gamer's console.

Labdog: Shogo: Mobile Armor Division reference

After the firefight in the gas pipes area near the exit point of the map, there will be a gas pipe on fire. Turn the object off in the next room, then return to the now extinguished pipe area. There is a semi secret walkway there. Walk in, find the ladder, and climb up. You will find a health booster, and there is a door on your left. Go into that office. Listen to the song. It is the main theme from Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, an anime FPS created by Mololith. Look at the dry marker board. It is the same one from an office level from Shogo: Mobile Armor Division.

Glitches

Unlimited handgun ammunition

This trick requires the dual handguns, all weapon slots full and at least one bullet for the dual handguns. Have the dual hand guns equipped and find a weapon you do not have in your inventory. This weapon must be on the floor, not leaning or on top of something. Hold Square to switch out the dual handguns for the new weapon, then switch back for one handgun then grab the other. You will notice that you have more handgun ammo. For example, if you had 1 bullet for both and you used this trick you should now have 2 bullets. If you repeat the trick, it will increase to 4 then 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 then the maximum of 200.
