Day One Studios gives you a jump start with FEAR 3 as tips and tricks are released.
It may be a little basic for the shooting officienado and may not be relevant to you at all but there will be someone, somewhere that will make use of some tips and tricks that Day One Studios have released to help you through FEAR 3.
1. Maximize your score by fulfilling multiple challenge requirements, playing on higher difficulties,and completing each level as fast as you can. Use your special abilities often and combine thechallenges to make sure you maximize each kill.
2. Exploration is crucial – search each level extensively for hidden ammo caches, psychic linkbodies, and the all-important Alma doll. The psychic links and Alma dolls appear in randomlocations, so make sure you fully explore on each playthrough.
3. When playing co-op, psychic links can be shared or stolen. If you’re looking to set an individualhigh score, steal them. If you want to set a team high score, share them. Even though you onlyget 750 points for psychic links, since you both receive the reward it adds a total of 1,500 toyour team score.
4. Ranking-up improves various stats including things like ammo capacity, health, and slow-mo.Maximizing your Rank is essential to play on the Insane difficulty. Replaying a level with a higherrank also makes it easier to set a high score and compete for the top position on theleaderboards.
5. The ranks are determined by your total score and the perks are universal in main campaign, coop,and multiplayer. If you are having trouble in one mode, go spend some time in another torank up and then try again.
6. The Arc Beam weapon reflects off of walls and floors to hit nearby enemies, and can hit morethan one at a time – very useful when Armacham Soldiers are hiding behind cover.
7. The Phase Caster is one of the toughest enemies in F.E.A.R. 3. Make sure you kill him as soon aspossible. The Phase Caster will keep calling in reinforcements as you take them out.
8. The Scavengers can be difficult for Fettel to defeat. One method to quickly dispatch them is tolevitate the enemy, get close, and push melee for the instant kill. At the same time, if there aremultiple Scavengers, you can always suspend one while killing another with the stun blast.
9. In multiplayer mode ‘F**king Run!,’ sending a teammate ahead with a Riot Shield is a good wayto add an extra layer of protection to the rest of the team.
10. Also in ‘F**king Run!’ multiplayer mode, the slide tackle is your strongest asset. Not only does itkeep you moving forward, but it also takes out enemies.
11. Plan ahead when playing multiplayer mode ‘Contractions.’ Storing all of your ammo on the toplevel of your safe house will take longer, but pays off in later waves.
12. Don’t try to stay in one body when playing multiplayer mode ‘Soul King.’ Body to bodypossession is a strategic part of the mode. You can escape other players by jumping from bodyto body across large portions of the maps. If you’re going to die, possess a new body with fullhealth. If you see an enemy getting the drop on the competitor, possess it and get the kill.
13. Multiplayer mode ‘Soul King’ is designed to be competitive all the way until the end. The last 30seconds of each round are the most hectic and critical. You should try to stay in second or thirdplace so that you can sweep in for victory in the closing seconds of the round by killing the King.
14. In multiplayer mode ‘Soul Survivor,’ getting a kill while in Last Stand will revive you. However,ammo is limited, so try not to use your Last Stand handgun ammo unless absolutely necessary.Have squad members revive you whenever possible.
15. The “We’ll Try Again Tomorrow” achievement / trophy is easiest to get in the first 3 waves ofThe Commute multiplayer map.
