M17 Base - security office | Chapter 6 DARK Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
I guess you won't be surprised to hear that there are a lot of security cameras and motion sensors in the security office and that you'll also be dealing with another large group of vampire hunters. I strongly recommend that you attempt to eliminate as many enemy units as possible, especially since you'll have to revisit certain areas of the office later on in the game.
You should attack the nearest guard from behind as soon as you've regained control over Eric. It's also important to start dragging the corpse right away, because there are three other hunters heading your way. Avoid the obstacle where you've started from the left side (don't get too close to a local security camera!) and leave the corpse in this place, because it shouldn't be noticed here.
Remain where you've started exploring the security area and allow three of the armored enemies to go in their separate directions. Notice that one of the hunters will soon make a stop very close to where you're hiding (that's why it was so important to hide the body of the first guard). Attack this soldier immediately after he turns right and starts moving away and leave the body in the exact same spot as the first one.
You should now move to the right and take cover behind an obstacle seen on screen 1 so you'll have a good view of the remaining two armored enemies from the last group. Wait for the left hunter to turn around and start moving away from here. Once this has happened move closer to the armored soldier stationed to the right and take cover behind the crates seen on screen 2.
Once again you must show a little bit of patience and don't do anything until an armored hunter turns around and starts moving right. Start off by killing a standard guard stationed near the desk and once he's gone deal with the armored opponent. Don't forget to quickly hide both bodies behind a solid cover.
Wait for the last third armored hunter to show up in this area (the one from the group you've been avoiding since your arrival in this location). You shouldn't have any problems planning this kill, because all you have to do is to wait for this person to turn around and to begin another patrol. Catch up with this enemy and kill him, remembering to avoid motion sensors and security cameras at the same time.
The next enemy you should consider killing is a single armored hunter who is patrolling the left side of the security office. Wait for this person to move away from other enemies and then perform a surprise attack.
If you've done everything according to my instructions then there are only two guards currently in the security office. Sadly the hunters won't leave their posts and this means you'll have to choose between letting them live and distracting them using vampiric powers or a sprint next to a cover.
You should now spend some time exploring this entire location, because you'll be presented with an opportunity of collecting two secret items. The first PDA (200 experience points) can be found on a desk where you've met a standard guard and an armored hunter earlier on (screen 1), and the second PDA (200 experience points) is on a bed in the barracks located near a corridor which was patrolled by an armored guard (screen 2).
Once you're done exploring and picking up collectibles proceed towards a door marked on your map. Be careful here, because there's a security camera above the door and you must wait for it to change its angle so that it'll be safe to head inside.
Enter a new room and approach a small table where you'll find a headset. Pick up this object and listen to a new conversation with Rose. She will tell your that your next assignment will be to reach two computer terminals located in other areas of the security center.
The first computer terminal can be found inside a room located close to the area where you've killed a standard guard and an armored hunter not long ago. Avoid a security camera and interact with the device.
The second computer terminal can be found inside a room located to the right of the final two vampire hunters. Sneak past the enemies and the camera and interact with the computer.
Take some time to listen to a conversation with Rose and then return to the area where you've originally started exploring the security office. Notice that you can choose a newly unlocked passageway located to your left (screen above). Get to a door leading to a prison where Tom is being held.
