For the gate in the Rocket Room, shootthe control panel on the third level that keeps sparking whileyour character is standing on the elevator to reach to that level.The man with the card key is up there.

Hint: Grenade launcher:
Using a grenade launcher in close range will kill youin one shot. Try and use the manual target button to lure theexplosives away, so Gabe cannot get caught in the explosion. Thesame should be done with grenades. Throw the explosive and usethe same target. The grenade will land there, catching anyonein the blast

Hint: Shooting with the viral scanner:
After getting the detonation codes from Ericsson inthe Pharcom warehouses and the FMV sequence is over, kill him.This will not end the mission. Take the viral detector.

However, no windows, guards, or explosives canbe shot with the viral scanner.

Get the detonation codes and take the viral scanner. Then, useany weapon you have to kill him. You will not fail a parameter.

Hint: Destroying the helicopter:
A critical element of destroying the chopper on therooftop seems to be hitting its undercarriage (the white underside).This can be difficult after the chopper starts "smoking"and performs its deadly second attack pattern. A great way tohit the chopper (and deal with the Arctic terrorists) is to usethe manual-aim-sidestep maneuver from around the corners of theradar assembly base. Duck out and fire. The chopper hovers behindthe radar for a good ten seconds. By doing this, the chopper cannothit you with its guns, but you can happily shoot its belly (therebykilling it), or at the heads of scampering terrorists.

To easily destroy the helicopter, shoot it awhile with a PK-102so that it starts to smoke. It will shoot you while hovering overa radar. Arm yourself with an M-79 grenade launcher and shootits belly twice. This will also kill the arctic terrorists. Thehelicopter will now be on fire. Take out your PK-102 again andshoot it again. After a few shots, the helicopter will be destroyed.

Hint: Killing Vladamir Gabrek:
After you booby trap the first fuel tank, turn rightafter killing two guards and another in front of a gate that isalong the way to the motion sensor power relays. Go to that gateand look at it. Then, turn right and face the building it is shortenough to jump on. Go across until you are on the other side ofthe gate. Jump off and walk down the concrete, but stop at thecorner of the building. There is a guard in a doorway. Kill himsilently, then keep going. Soon you will see Gabrek and his escortwalking away from you. Throw a gas grenade in the middle of them.Take the key and Gabrek's 9mm.

Hint: Freedom Memorial: Defeating Girdeux:
In level 5, Freedom Memorial, most of the time youcan defeat Girdeux by manually aiming at the gas tank on his back.If you a harder challenge, target lock on Girdeux and shoot himwith any automatic weapon. This also works with the shotgun. Shoothim for a while. He will eventually explode. If you want thisto go fast, shoot him a few seconds after he explodes and he willexplode again. Do this enough times and you will win. For an evengreater challenge, try it without target lock.

Get a sniper rifle, then lure Girdeux onto the ground floor sothat the base of the statue is between you and him. Zoom in onhis fuel tank with your rifle. Shoot one round every few seconds.The statue base keeps him from drawing a good bead on you, andyour evenly spaced, accurate shots should keep him too busy withrecovering from the explosions to even point his weapon at you.

Highlight your shotgun and get ready. Aim at Girdeux and shootwhen he is facing away from you. This should result in a one hitkill.
