(3) Aggressive option: Crossing by first part of the camp Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Stand quick behind the closest crate #1, so a big mech visible in the distance can't attack you. Pick up an EMP grenade from the crate. You can use it immediately to destroy the mech but you must be sure that it will land and explode near the mech #2.

If you do not want to use a grenade or you've thrown it at bad place, you can go to the left jumping over obstacles #1. Look around the area and you should find a rocket launcher #2.

Return to the place where you began and use the launcher to destroy the mech. Unfortunately, in order to do this you would probably need two hits. After destroying the mech deal with two guards and make sure that no one attacks you from above.

Look around the hall - you'll find plenty of ammo. When you think that you're ready, head towards the door leading to the east #1. Be careful because there are two mercenaries around the corner #2. It would be good to shoot at them before they split up.

Map legend: 1 - Main control room.

If your hacking skills are not high enough, just use a nearby ladder #1 in order to get to the upper level, getting to the next part of the camp. Otherwise walk further the same corridor, stopping by only near new control room #2.

Look around the room, finding a PDA with a login wks0010 and a password usprotkt. Interact now with a nearby computer terminal #1. It has second security level, but you can use a password obtained lately. Read messages and approach second computer terminal #2. Enter a password neuralhub, which could be obtained from Zeke Sanders during the secondary quest Voices from the Dark.

Depending on how well your hacking skills are, you could make you further way easier (screen above). First of all I suggest turning off all security cameras. Moreover there is a possibility of changing the configuration of defensive turrets. If you have this possibility, reprogram them so they start eliminating enemies. This way at least few mercenaries will be killed. It is worth noting that you'll receive experience points also for enemies killed with usage of hacking skills.

If you've turned off or reprogrammed defensive turrets, I suggest staying on current level. If you failed with this, then return to previously mentioned ladder and continue exploring the compound being on level -2. This is very important because otherwise you would have to spend more time and your supplies trying to destroy the turrets. Stop when you see a new door (level -2 or -4) leading to the second part of the camp #1. If you're on the level -2, open the door and being in the new room hack into the nearby computer terminal (password neuralhub) unlocking a way to a small armory #2. A description of further actions can be found in the description of Step 4 (Crossing by second part of the camp).
