Tips
  • The first floor is a large open area with stationary sentries armed with uzis, requiring a tactical approach rather than a direct assault.
  • Using a shotgun and firing blindly through doors as you back away can effectively clear initial threats.
  • Repeat firing from multiple angles to ensure all enemies on the first floor are dealt with.
  • The enemy in the north corner of the first floor might require a specific low angle to hit.
  • Enemies on the second floor balcony will rush you after the first patrol is eliminated.
  • Enemies inside the second floor room are stationary and can be dealt with individually.
