Traveling to the Ticket Booth

Upon entering the Atlantic Express, you'll find yourself in a flooded corridor. Your immediate goal is to reach the Ticket Booth to progress. Be prepared for resistance, as this area is patrolled by Splicers.

Initial Exploration & Loot

  • Immediately Ahead: As you surface from the initial flooded section, look for a small alcove to your left. You'll find some useful supplies here, including Pistol Rounds and a First Aid Kit.
  • Right Path: Proceed down the main corridor to your right. You'll encounter a Splicer shortly. use your Drill or a quick Electro Shock + Wrench combo to dispatch them efficiently.
  • Vending Machine: Further down this path, you'll spot a Circus of Values vending machine. Take a moment to stock up on ammo, First Aid Kits, or EVE Hypos if needed. Remember to check behind it for hidden items or a safe.

Navigating the Main Hall

The corridor opens into a larger hall with several submerged areas. Keep an eye out for Splicers lurking in the water or on higher ground.

  • First Encounter: As you enter the main hall, expect at least two Splicers. One will likely be patrolling the central area, and another might be on the elevated walkway to your left. Use the environment to your advantage, perhaps luring them into a puddle and shocking them with Electro Shock.
  • Submerged Path: The direct path to the Ticket Booth is currently blocked by debris and a locked gate. You'll need to take a detour through the submerged sections.
  • Loot Opportunities:
    • Submerged Crate: Dive into the water directly in front of the locked gate. There's a submerged crate containing Drill Fuel and some Money.
    • Side Room (Left): On the left side of the main hall, there's a small, partially flooded room. Inside, you'll find an Audio Diary (listen for the faint glow) and some Machine Gun Rounds. Be wary, as a Splicer sometimes hides in this room.
    • Side Room (Right): On the right side, another small room contains a Weapon Upgrade Station. This is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your Drill or Rivet Gun. Don't miss it!

Reaching the Ticket Booth Entrance

After exploring the side rooms, head towards the far end of the main hall. You'll need to navigate a series of submerged walkways and broken platforms.

  • Elevated Walkway: There's an elevated walkway that leads around the perimeter of the hall. This path often provides a tactical advantage against Splicers below. Look for a ramp or stairs to access it.
  • Security Camera: Be aware of a security camera overlooking the approach to the Ticket Booth. Hack it if you can, or destroy it quickly to avoid triggering an alarm and attracting more Splicers. Remember, a successful hack can turn the camera into an ally.
  • Final Approach: The entrance to the Ticket Booth is clearly marked. Before entering, ensure you've collected all available loot and are prepared for any potential Splicer ambushes just inside.

Once you pass through the entrance, you'll officially be within the Ticket Booth area, ready for the next objective.
