Tips for Mindjot

[minus]

I thought Ides of March was bad, but now I wish I could go back to that. It feels like every single one of these SCP facility guard knockoffs is hacking. Stingers and flashbangs don't seem to do anything but warn them I'm about to walk in. I could swear I once strolled into a room, saw a guy, and got domed before he had even raised his weapon. I die constantly to dudes I can't see in what should be clear and secure rooms. I'm trying to be as strategic and methodical as possible and it's just not working.

What's the trick here? Should I try gassing the entire building like I'm roleplaying as a KGB agent? Equipping everyone with a shield? Give me some advice, I'm begging.

go 2f first, you can snipe off a few of the guys in the server room that way

Yeah until they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ push you and snipe you threw walls. Because they can see you threw the server racks but you cant see them.
Mindjot is kinda ridiculous, there are like what... 10 John Wicks in there, that know where you are and will snipe you threw walls and doors.

Just cleared it once, gone guns blazing. Stinger and Flashes into every door and spray full auto.
Yeah Civis will die but there are only like 3 in there anyway.

The Mindjot NPCs are actually some of the rare few that don't instantly shoot you most of the time.

What worked for me is utilizing tons of CS Gas. They worked wonders especially in the server rooms as they can easily help in dealing with the wider spaces than the stinger or flash. I always went to the west entrance.

First is to clear the smaller rooms and work your way around the two big server rooms, ( You can also clear the roof as there are two that usually spawns there ) Use door wedge to keep some pressure off but it’s not necessary ( MJ dudes do push your areas sometimes so watch out for those. ) Be aware that some MJ guys may patrol outside and ruin your day.

Once you clear those areas, you can start with either the main server room or the other one right next to the west entrance. Clear with Gas, then kee deploying gas at the farther corners. You can also split and support from 2F but it might get you killed. Do the same with the other SV room.

If done right, you can easily make most suspects surrender before you even see them.

On my playthrough, I had atleast 8 of them as it made clearing big rooms fairly easy. Make sure to always mirror, you can mirror at the left/right most side of the door to maximize the amount of stuff you see. Have a shield guy to clear with to take most of the heat if some guys are unaffected by gas.

Still it’s not perfect as I did get killed by the typical AI tomfooleries but in most of my attempts, it almost worked perfectly.

TLDR: Clear smaller areas first, CS Gas the bigger rooms to limit the amount of stuff that you have to cover. Clear with a shield to limit the amount of insta deaths.
