Data Hive/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

Before you drop down, swap out for your carbine again.  Once you've dropped, creep through the doors and kill the two drones quickly.  The NMPD guy goes straight for the tunnel on the right and you can follow him, but you're better off  picking off the two grunts at the other end.  The brute down there will point and growl but won't move up.  Once you've gotten rid of the Grunts, follow the NMPD guy through the side tunnel, when you come out the other end stick the grunt with a plasma or spike grenade.  Continue forward slowly, letting the NMPD guy distract the throngs of Brutes, and letting you pick them off with assasin melees and grenades.  Occasionally you have to stand up fight the brutes and if you run out of Carbine ammo, you'll be tempted to use your SMG.  DON'T.  Pick up anything else, spiker and needlers and Maulers are around as well as human shotguns, so save the SMG.  Kill them quickly and move on to the second set of rooms.  In here is more of the same, snipe out the jackals and grunts and lure the Brutes and grenade 'em to death.  It's made all the much easier (or annoying) by your NMPD buddy who distracts them enough but can't seem to kill anything.  Once you reach the second drop, take a minute, run back, pick up any grenades you can from the rooms if you're short and make sure you have your main weapon (preferably the carbine, as there's enough ammo about) loaded up with as much ammo as you can find.
