Prey, what am I doing wrong!

[Mark1989]

So I don't mind challenging games but either I suck or it's just unevenly hard, I'm only at the start only have gloo gun and a wrench. Went up near trauma center to track a side quest. Two phantoms just owned me, there is also one below with few mimics.

My attack movement seems so slow and stamina is as if my character just ate a pie buffet and has post meal sedation.

Is there a way I should play this? Am I trying to take them on far too early?

Some people have a shotgun at this point don't get how I don't even have a bloody pistol

The Shotgun was dropped into the safe in your office as part of a pre-order deal I think.

You seem to also have missed quite a bit as you can get both the 9mm and Shotgun from the Lobby if I remember.

• The shotgun can be found in the IT security room, for the door you need a keycard but you can also get in using the vent near the locked IT security door without the keycard
• The 9mm can be had in the teleconferencing centre in the Lobby as well.

Avoidance is the best tactic until you are tooled up and even then it's still a pretty good method of staying alive as some of the later Typhon are a pain in the backside depending on the difficulty.

Ah okay, I haven't bothered going to office yet, I'll look around more on lower level you enter in then first

The part in the Trauma centre was the game biggest difficulty spike for me and the only part of the game I struggled with. As everyone says though - once you start levelling up you'll be more of a match of the bigger enemies. My advice is to disregard the advice regarding not using Alien Powers - the ultimate reward for doing this isn't worth it IMHO.

Alien powers?? Maybe i went there too soon, i went into big room and part of station blew up and got told to go to office to see some video,

Ah i see guess there different to the few mods i have picked up so far, I got a shotgun now i explored some more and found it, like it so far, game is nice graphically too.
