Tips
- Aiming your weapon at someone will be taken as an aggressive act and a confrontation can escalate very quickly.
- Avoid making loud noises, keep contacts at a distance and you will find survival much easier.
- Beware of aggressive survivors.
- Collect blueprints to help Ripley learn how to craft different and improved devices.
- Committing a component to an IED removes it from your inventory. Use this to clear space for more items.
- Conserve your ammunition as you never know when you might need it.
- Crafted devices can damage, disable or distract enemies.
- Crafting items to survive is vital. Find somewhere quiet and dark to build devices.
- Crouching whilst moving is quieter but will slow you down.
- Distractions are a useful way to avoid a dangerous situation.
- Distractions can sometimes attract a deadlier threat. Use with caution.
- Don't attack allies or civilians!
- Don't try to outrun the Alien. You won't make it.
- EMP devices can be used to disable androids for a short amount of time.
- Enemies will react to the beam of your flashlight.
- Firing a weapon, hitting surfaces and detonating hand-built devices will all attract unwanted attention.
- Floor vents can be used as alternative routes through the station. Look for their signature panels.
- Hiding is only ever a temporary solution.
- If you are spotted, run, hide or break line of sight. The longer you stay hidden the better chance you have of evading your pursuer.
- If you see or hear the Alien react, it may have sensed you.
- In addition to callback codes, the Security Access Tuner can also match frequency fluctuations.
- Keep moving slowly and carefully.
- Look for terminals to unlock map schematics for the station.
- Make too much noise, and you will attract the Alien.
- Map terminals will add unexplored locations to your in-game map (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)).
- Move slow, quiet and at a distance to survive against the Alien.
- Noises above and below you are indicators that something is lurking nearby.
- Not everyone aboard the station is aggressive. Judge the situation by listening in on their conversation and approach carefully.
- Personal Logs and audio recorders give a good insight into the lives of people onboard the station.
- Ripley is a survivor and can use many things to evade danger.
- Ripley is not a violent person, but will defend herself if she needs to.
- Run when you can, crouch frequently, cause distractions and stay behind cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects).
- Sevastopol still has an automated security camera system running in some places. This can trigger alarms and bring unwanted attention.
- Sevastopol's transit system is the fastest way to move between its three main towers.
- Short range shuttles are used by the hospital for fast journeys between Sevastopol's towers. Executives have priority access to them.
- Some doors have been secured with security braces. Use the Maintenance Jack to release the magnetic locks.
- Sprinting is a last resort. It is loud and alerts anything nearby that could hear you.
- Sprinting is loud, so move slowly to avoid detection.
- Strike a wall or hard surface with the Maintenance Jack to cause a distraction.
- Survivors on the station are just trying to stay alive. Don't mess with them and they won't mess with you.
- Synthetics are susceptible to physical attacks when they are stunned.
- The Alien has heightened senses. It will spot you quicker than humans or androids.
- The Alien is not the only threat on board the station.
- The flashlight is useful in the dark, but is also likely to alert enemies that spot it. Use it carefully.
- The Maintenance Jack can be used to divert power inside an electrical junction.
- The more you can collect and build the more options you will have to use in a difficult situation.
- The motion tracker (radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)) can be heard if you are very close to an enemy. Use it wisely.
- The motion tracker (radar) is only accurate in the direction you are facing. Keep an eye on the side and rear indicators.
- The motion tracker (radar) is your key to survival, use it well.
- The Rewire system aboard the station is a handy way of tilting the odds in your favor. Look out for junction boxes.
- The Security Access Tuner can be used to override systems, doors and terminals. Tune in to the correct frequency and enter the callback code.
- The sound of combat can summon the Alien, attract it at your own risk.
- There are a lot of missing people on the station. Collect their ID tags to find out more.
- Try to avoid conflict or at least make sure you have enough ammo for a fight.
- Use combinations of devices to safely dispatch a Working Joe.
- Vents are a great way of avoiding danger, but they may not always be as safe as you think.
- Violence towards humans is contrary to primary synthetic programming, but it doesn't mean the Working Joes are incapable of doing it.
- Weapons are like tools. You need the right one for the right job.
- Working Joes are rudimentary androids, but it doesn't mean they're harmless.
