Quick notes
- The edition changes the available solutions. The original release forces direct boss combat in comparatively limited arenas.
- Barrett rewards space and environmental awareness. Avoid standing in front of his sustained fire.
- Fedorova needs movement and observation. Her speed and cloaking make a static firing position risky.
- Prepare before Namir and the finale. A late story decision about a replacement biochip can affect the Namir encounter.
