Stuck in prison

[PC Phil]

Help! Been stuck here for a day and its getting kinda repetitive.
In the prison at the second section where you set the remote guns up (the bit where there are two parralel corridors and two area to duck into. One with health and skin boost, the other with ammo).
I have tried both areas. Set guns up against pillars. Constructed barriers with the boxes and drums. The furthest I have got is liying red on the floor and hearing Alex saying there are more guards coming. Please save my marriage.

well there are some wards there, where you can stay with few turrets and a gun.

A little better

OK,
I am in the side ward and can get as far as hearing Alex say "There is a motherload of soldiers".
Then, typically, a couple of flying drones arrive at the same time as soldiers lobbing grenades at my remote guns.
I have tried a shoot out with the soldiers whilst picking up the guns but they just wipe me out.
How much longer have I got to last?

I think it depends on how you set up the guns, and what difficulty level you play. On hard, you're obviously going to need more effort to play through it than easy. As far as I remember, I set up the four guns, two directly at the gates, and the other two five metres away facing the other side. The best way is to keep the guns at such a difference that one grenade wouldn't flip both guns, yet the guns must be as far from the exits away, giving the soldiers little chance to even attack it.

Also, remember that you can pick up the guns and set them up again once they're flipped. Moreover, you can even pick up a gun, and use it as your personal gun, giving you infinite ammo and rate of fire. Just pick up the gun, face the enemy and let it do its work. The soldiers attack from different directions, but no simultaneously, giving you time to hop from one side to another once you've defended that area.

As a final solution, you could even decrease the defensive area, putting all the guns in the room where you took them from, where you've only got two exits to protect. You can then easily flip the guns, get health, and be where you need to be. But grenades will become a bigger threat, but I noticed you can hide yourself in the gun lockers, giving you very good cover from explosions.

well, you always can quickly pull out gravity gun, and throw grenades away.

kin hell!

I only have 3 guns. How do you get four?

You can carry one through from the earlier section, it's good fun.

Anyway, if you really want to get past this bit you can always cheap it ;-)

Remember: the time for the guards doesn't start until the last gun is set on the floor, so you can take a long time to set up. There is a balcony on one of the long sides that isn't very wide and is a dead end. There are 6 crates dotted around, you can use these to make steps up onto the balcony. Set the guns up on the balcony, and hide way at the back. Use the gravity gun to deal with manhacks and uprighting the guns again, and you can just sit out of view of the guards for most of it.

When you are looking at the guns, turn to your right and go into the hallway. About halfway down the corridor there are some boxes. Stack them up and climb up into a balcony. Shoot the soldiers from the safety of this spot.

theres a sly old ay of completein this part that i used... its quite simple... just enter one of the litle rooms (cells) to the side of the corridors n camp at the wall with a shotgun aimed head height at the door.. let the fookers take out ur turrets n wait for them to come after u.. they will, trust me... neway they're easy to take out now, but u may have to make ammo runs once r twice, but dont wory cos they drop loadsa the shit just outside ur door... b careful though cos sometimes they trow a nade in so u gotta wait outside for a sec till that goes... this is how i did it neway.. good luck... hope u get to finish the game, i never will
