Need help with the 'Lights Out' mission in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City? This guide covers Nicholai's traps, the Black Keycard, Lickers, and getting to the chopper.

Alright, so you're stuck on the 'Lights Out' mission, huh? Don't worry, it happens. This part can be a bit tricky, especially with Nicholai throwing curveballs. Let's break it down so you can get through it.

First off, Command wants you to shut down the city's comms using EMP generators. You'll be meeting a chopper on the hospital rooftop to grab them. Simple enough, right? Well, Nicholai, that slippery UBCS traitor, has other plans.

Nicholai's Little Surprises

As soon as you get into the hospital, Nicholai's voice pops up. He's not happy you escaped his little diversion at City Hall and has rigged up some nasty surprises. Your first secondary objective will be to Survive Nicholai's trap.

This trap involves zombies rigged with explosives. Seriously. When they get close, they'll blow. So, keep your distance and shoot them before they get too close. Your team will call it out, saying things like, "Watch your distance!" or "Shoot zombies before they get too close!" Just play it safe and don't let them swarm you.

Finding the Black Keycard

After you clear out the initial rooms, your objective will update. You'll need to find a Black Keycard to progress. Keep an eye out for it, and be ready for more trouble. As you approach the door that needs the Black Keycard, you'll hear some ominous noises. Whatever's behind that door, it's not friendly. Your team will comment on the bad sounds, and sure enough, you'll be facing a Licker attack.

Your primary objective will change to Get to the Chopper on the Roof, and the secondary objective becomes Survive the Licker attack. Take down that Licker – they're fast and dangerous, so use your best weapons and try to keep moving.

Trip Mines and Crimson Heads

Once you're past the Licker, you'll encounter more of Nicholai's handiwork: trip mines with laser triggers. Your team will warn you, saying things like, "Watch out for laser triggers. Shoot them if you see them." Be super careful as you move through these areas. If you see a laser beam, shoot the mine before you step on it. Beltway might even chime in that he can defuse them, but it's usually safer just to shoot them from a distance if you can.

After navigating the mines, you'll get a checkpoint and hear from U.S.S. Command that the supply chopper is inbound. Time to head to the roof!

As you make your way up the stairs, watch out – Nicholai has rigged those with more trip mines too! Just keep your eyes peeled and your trigger finger ready.

Finally, you'll reach the rooftop. But don't relax just yet! A pack of Crimson Heads will be waiting for you. Your team will shout out warnings like, "V-A-C-Ts! Look alive!" Take them down quickly, and then you can finally get to that chopper and finish the mission.

You've got this! Just stay alert, manage your distance from those explosive zombies, and watch out for Nicholai's traps.
