In the original game Beta Grove was the only part that really scared me. Reactor and Maintenence (with the respawning invisible mutants) were creepy but with Beta I just wanted it to be over.
You refuse to recycle, that results into that you can´t upgrade your weapons damagewise. More damage spares ammo and kills faster, faster killing = less timewaste in beta grove (cheap logic, i know). Clipmod and Damagemod for the pistol, chokemod for the shotgun and more stuff is available. Always keep power on your suit, else you get instantly contaminated up to 120 LordBritishPthings that quickly kills you. If you ever read this, i am currently 46 and just wanted to thank you and your former team at looking glass for the great games i could experience in my youth :)
yeah, you gotta do that level in short, well-planned sorties, as long as you kill one thing, turn one switch, or explore a few more sq feet of map, then it's golden, make your retreat, heal up, and repeat....
Oh man Beta Groves is hard (I've heard original was also just as tough?) It does seem a bit unfair that you can't stack both enviro pack and detox at the same time, seems like no matter what you're going to get at least 22LBPs. Need A LOT of medkits/patches for that part (& stack on snacks).
whenever you use a detox patch, it nullifies the effects of every other patch currently in your system. if you take a medipatch then a detox, you'll kill the heal.
