Lift Interference

Lift Interference is a side quest in Prey (2017).

Overview
The main lift is currently not working. I should find out what the source of the interference is so I can free up the Lift and gain access to more of the station.

Objectives

 * Investigate the Lift
 * Kill the Technopath
 * Defeat the Phantom

Walkthrough
Before you head through the door and the load screen, check your inventory and ammo. Here’s the spoiler: You’re about to face a Technopath. Make sure you’re stocked up on medkits, suit repair kits, your favourite ammo and a few EMP Charges. Those EMP Charges are your secret weapon in fighting a Technopath. They’ll disable it for a couple seconds, allowing you to get off some shots with another weapon. If you’ve got ammo for your Q-Beam, use it now.

While you’re fighting the Technopath, you’ll also have to manage a pair of corrupted operators. You’ve got a lot of options for handling them as well. They’re also vulnerable to EMP Charges, or, if you’ve got the time and room, you can GLOO them.

The Technopath is the source of the malfunction with the lift, so once it’s dead, the elevator will work. Before you leave the lobby, check the corpse by the elevator doors. You’ll pick up Hendrik DeVries’ Office keycard and a TranScribe. They’ll get you a new optional objective called, Do No Harm.

When you use the lift for the first time headed to either Main Lobby or Life Support, it will shut down and blackened and a Phantom will appear from nowhere. You must defeat the Phantom in order to make the lift operable again since you cannot run from it.
