Tips
  • Accept the shotgun from the woman at the start.
  • The Desert Eagle is powerful; one shot to the head is effective against cleaners.
  • Experiment with different weapons for the death sequences.
  • Use bullet time strategically during intense firefights, especially on the staircase.
  • Aim for headshots with weapons like the Kalashnikov, Dual Ingrams, or Pump-action Shotgun for quick kills.
  • Save frequently, especially before challenging sections or after significant progress.
  • Collect all available painkillers to maintain health.
