HELP!! - Stuck in "We've got Hostiles"
Sam Aitcheson
shaft to take me to the surface. Problem is that when I get in the
lift and start it up, then the "loading..." starts. When it finishes,
I can hear the choopers on the surface but the lift gets stuck and I
appear to be getting hit by something as my suit energy begins to
drain and my health decreases.
Anyone know if this is a bug or if I'm doing something stupid (only
bought the game last week so I could be). It's a major pain in the
arse as I can't progress any further in the game at the moment.
TIA

Some explosive crates are blocking the lift exit. You'll need to place a
satchel charge in the lift and then send it up. When it stops at the top,
detinate the satchel charge, blowing up the crates and unblocking the exit.
Press the button again, and get on the lift - you'll get to the last part of
the level.

Make sure you're in the middle of the lift. You're probably getting hurt
because you're right up against the wall.

Already tried that. I took a scientist into the lift and made him
stand at the edge of the lift while I stood in the middle - we both
got killed.
Any other ideas?

well, it *is* a bug
try jumping and ducking alternately, this sometimes works...else load up a
previous savegame and pray it doesn't happen again

I managed to solve this by crouching and jumping alternately. Thanks
to those who replied and helped me out. Now if only I could get out of
Blast Pit . . . ; - )

this must be some kind of bug, i went back to a previous saved game at
the point you mention and it was happening here too.
Crouch and jump right away and it'll be fine.
