I'm not good at sniping in general really but sniping in this game was pretty slow for me. Don't know if you play on PC but I found it to be something that took time on the console. Also the speed and level of precision.
When I was looking for a solution to save Malik this was by far the best video tutorial I came across. While I didn't do it in *exactly* the same way it certainly gave me a great template to work from. I used an EMP mine rather than a grenade which had the benefit of sticking to the mech. The mech explosion took out a few of the bad guys which really helped! Thanks to @Kyorisu for the upload, much appreciated! I should also add that I felt like I'd really achieved something by saving Malik.
Thanks for the upload. I was doing this scene in a few different ways, all of which were unsuccessful. Took 2 tries to complete this scene using this route.
Whooo! Took me over a dozen tries, but thanks to this vid, Malik survived :D
I might have ruined my pacifist run with anyone killed in the EMP robot explosion, or maybe that doesn't count cos technically the robot killed them... guess I'll find out =D
Hey, this video is awesome, did you had the sprint faster aug? and the one that improves your aiming? just wanted to know because this is the best way to save malik i've seen so far.
damn i can't believe i did it, even without EMP grenade. knocked-out all the enemies, and then just started throwing barrels in that robot (but had to finish him with 10mm). holy fuck, that was almost as hard as getting "Neighborhood Watch" achievement in HF 2: Episode 2
Did it after five tries before I found this vid. I was not going for Pac however, so I ran through with a shotgun and popped a lot of them with the explosive barrels that are nearby.
Thanks! I really wouldn't have wanted Malik to die. Btw she sounded kinda sexy calling Jensen "spy boy". I bet she has a crush on him :D. One of the best characters!
Impressive - I've tried about eight times and still haven't been able to do it. Looks like you studied the layout well and got your timing spot on - most of all, looks like you kept your nerve, ha ha. I panic and forget all the brilliant ordnance I've collected. I actually felt gutted when Malik was killed and the pressure is on now I know she can be saved. The game design is clever - the pressure is on and there's a percieved time constraint, which is where you lose it.
I was being a pacifist until this event occurred and then I totally went ape-shit when they killed her. Re-loaded, pulled out my upgraded silenced red-dot pistol and busted caps in anything that moved. Couldn't believe how angry I was.
Thanks for your kindness. That you do not laugh at me as I do. I do have the run faster aug and on one instance I managed to actually get along quite well until I was silly enough to sprint directly into the exploding bot. The boxbot always goes down with EMP and those 2 heavies usually too.
You know something always goes wrong, I fail because I panic and I haven´t tried it again. May be next week the day cometh....
Man, thanks a hell lot for uploading this... I was having the hardest time trying to save her by outgunning the attackers... going to replay and save her now!
Lol Missile Launcher did really come in handy saving Malik i didn't cared about pacifist achievement I still don't. My Adam killed every s.o.b. who messes with his friends he would've done the same for Pritchard, Sarif and Megan
First one of these saving malik video ive seen that im extremely impressed. done with precision and waiting for the guys on the second level to walk into a double takedown was awesome
You can do this WITHOUT AN EMP. Everyone I checked about this said not to bother without an EMP. All you have to do is follow the walk through, and when the box guard drops just shoot it to get its attention, it will fixate on you and leave malik alone, then continue taking out guys. Once they are all taken out you can just shoot the box guard to death. I did it on Give me Deus Ex.
@xXDarkRelicXx Same here. I had tried to pick my way and save her but I wasn't fast enough.. It was heart breaking to watch her die. Made me wanna kill everyone despite attempting non-lethal.
@Denevue haha, me too. As soon as I got to that part (10 mins ago) I wondered if you could save her because she died so quickly. Jumped online immediately to check :D
I've read that people emp'ed the bot with bodies close, causing them to die, but because all of them were knocked out before it exploded they didn't count as dying by your hand. So these people still got pacifist :)
Any deaths caused by the robot exploding WILL count against the Pacifist achievement! So make sure nobody is around the robot when it blows up - you'll have a few seconds to pull away bodies before it explodes.
@Emberstrife It won't if you took down the person non-lethally before the explosion - it happened to me and I still got the pacifist achievement at the end.
@Markis2bi4 just try by clicking RS (aim) slightly faster than RT (shoot). it becomes like Black Ops type quickscope, not Modern Wafare 2. but you have to remember that unlike stun gun, they can attack you until they completely fall a sleep. so, better not to shoot enemies right in front of them.
Doesnt the exploding robot kill the knocked out guards that are sleeping underneath it when it blows up? Wont that ruin your passive non-killing playthrough and stop you from getting the achievement?
@dataschmuck Well technically the robot self destructs which isn't your fault. I'm not sure if it counts against pacifist but then that's not the point of the video.
@TheDeadlyXins Funny how I have people telling me it doesn't because they've actually done it and gotten pacifist and then other saying they haven't. At the end of the day it's a silly achievement, not sure why it sparks so much discussion.
@Kyorisu Literally just finished it for the 2nd time for the pacifist acheivement. I'm sure the robot killed people when i EMP'd it and i still got the acheivement
Thanks for your method. I didn't have any stun gun so i used combat rifle and shotgun for grunts, heavy gun for big guys and sniper rifle for the snipers but i should also mention i had full armor upgrade also so that helped.
@ghostkai666 Yes a merchant in the second district of Hengsha does. On the map it looks like bottom right corner when you are in the left hand side district. Unfortunately, that guy is after this fight. I don't know if any do in Detroit.
@Iamthemonkeyhead I found one, you know that "hidden" store in a random apartment? Forget the guys name. The husband of the CEO you save near the beginning gives you a discount there. He has loads of rounds.
@ghostkai666 Haha, cheers, I let them die cos I didn't realise you would end up back in the offices and went sneaking around for too long. I was annoyed enough that I just told myself they shouldn't have let themselves get kidnapped in the first place hahaha.... I'm a shit person.
Thanks for the video, it's been really helpful
