good to know, I am slightly annoyed as I thought I was being incredibly thorough in this game, but how in the hell was I supposed to know that? Regardless, I will keep an eye out for more.
Haha Yeah, soon after i saw this video I stumbled onto a transcribe that it's a smuggling ring of the sort! pretty cool how theyre not just "secretive safes". they actually mattered to somebody on the ship
You can actually get the stun gun and a LOAD of other stuff as soon as all hell breaks loose. It's in the same room as the locked safe (in the simulation monitoring section). If you jump on top of the lockers and boxes you can find a load of super helpful items, plus a cheeky bit of dialogue plays from Alex. Thumbs up so people can see!
From the Playstation Realm. this was so helpful I went and played back Prey. I stopped because im stuck between "Dr. Calvino's hardware lab quest and G.U.T.S quest as i cant find the damn psychoscope" but this will certainly help me and motivate me to find it!
i suggest getting the "materials expert" early to get 20% more materials from your recycler , it doesnt seem much but it starts adding when you figure out you need alot of ammo early on , plus its very usefull when you can make neuromods later on...
In the beginning, when you are low on health, find the double water fountains outside the bathroom. Drink from one then the other. You don't have to wait until you are done with one to drink from the other so you can get your health back to 100 much faster. That's my only tip so far. I'm just 2 hours in.
In case of full inventory just drop all the junk on the floor, stand back, and drop a recycler charge. For more yield throw a few props in the pile too. You're welcome.
I just use the recyler in the office along with the mod which increases yield and im swimming in materials. In about 16 or so I've only crafted 2 boxes of handgun ammo and one box of shotgun shells. Then about 10 minutes after found a supply to last my playstyle for at least a few hours.
Put your upgrade kits into your stun gun. Stunning typhon and machines gives you a chance to take them down. Upgrading the clip size increases the how many shots you can get out of 100 ammo (an new stun gun uses 25 per shot but a fully upgraded one uses 7 per shot). In the later game the stun gun is very effective against military operators. Any operator drops stun gun ammo so if you have a well upgraded gun, you won't use that much ammo.
ForSaKen Overcast exactly .. this gives you satisfaction .. not the "get a quick power fix and run your way through" .. this game makes you think, try things and explore.
I actually found the safe without the mission at the start because I was trying to ring the bell by hitting it with my wrench lol I was so suprised and after that I was hitting just about everything on the walls for more hidden safes XP
how does anyone figure some of this stuff out? like hitting that alarm 3 times to open that safe. was that in the thousands of emails your supposed to read.
You find out about it in the Arboretum. Dead body next to one of these "safes" and they tell you about it from the transcribe. The body is in the tunnel across from the Y stair case.
I'd also recommend NOT 'recycling most of your food'. If you are patient, you can heal up by eating a piece of food and, waiting for the recovery buff to expire, then rinse and repeat until you are back to your max health. It will save you from having to use a lot of Med Kits, which can help early game when you're still getting the hang of fighting the Typhon with your wrench.
Pile dead humans to nearby Typhon bodies and lob a recycler grenade. Yes, waste of grenade and the organic yield is not enough for a medkit but it deals with that bugged medal of saving every human and I & it. Arcane needs to relook at the game and if the damage is taking longer than needed, they should make Mooncrash free addon.
Leverage I: Better than gamespot's advice to get Leverage III, but still forgets that recycler grenades are ridiculously plentiful by mid game. Gloo Gun: You don't need Gloo to get to the second level, just use convenient platforming. Also forgot about the stun gun in that area, and the stun gun even earlier. Recycler Grenades: You get more minerals from putting grenades in a recycler than from using the grenade on 99% of the environment. That said, I didn't know about the neuromods in Security - it's amazing how many tiny corners have hidden loot. Also, nightmare isn't that hard once you have a few hours in. I did no needles on nightmare up until deep storage with little to no problems, even though I didn't avoid any fights. Certainly is scary that first time though :)
If you don't want to spoil a game for yourself, don't watch this video. Find your own way of playing, that is the key. This game is not a "Sci-fi, survival FPS shooter", it's an Immersive Sim. Find your own way to beat the game. The enemies are tough at the beginning for a reason. Use your thinking to tackle the problem and you will find satisfaction.
The first hours are rough. I'm happy I found some of them my myself, but I'm stuck in a particular task (that damn technopath outside Talos keeps killing me) so those tips were really useful. I don't think after 6 gameplay hours this vid spoils the game, but...
oh , and you don't have to hack into IT security , break your LG window in morgans office and there's a path way behind it , you can shoot thru the glass floor (which is the ceiling of the IT security office) and drop down into the office , beware there are bad guys down there. you can also use explosive cylinders to move leverage 3 objects OR use one of your recycle grenades to get rid of the objects if you have too...
Great tips :) Only thing I disagree with is the part where you say to also add most of the food to the recycler.. The 5 health you gain also gives you a status effect that heals you.. If you eat 2 pieces of food, you'll get 20 health.. But if you get the neuromod that heals you more with food, food is suddenly a very viable option of always having a way to heal. If you have too much of it, I'd rather store it in Morgan's office locker and use the room as a hub.. It's likely that later in the game you'll come across a point where resources start being more scarce..
Sarcasm Yes. I loaded up on health perks as soon as possible and now I have a surplus of med kits, as I only need food for now. Can't stress the importance of taking this game SLOW. There's just too much to miss or not consider. Maybe it's a "FPS", but it shouldn't be played as one.
I was really running out of neuromods to finally unlock Hacking Level 3 (important for all those robot pests) before looking your video, thank you very much!
I would HIGHLY suggest not listening to the transcribe that is in the hidden safe that you get with the survey answers. The transcribe reveals story elements that you aren't supposed to know at that point. You actually can get the survey answers late in the game, which I suggest that you do.
I feel like stuff like this is kinda pointless; there's nothing like stumbling across a hidden secret or figuring something out for yourself. Sure, it's helpful, bit I'd massively recommend going in blind; it's far more enjoyable when you don't know what you're going to come across. Although of I had to offer a hint myself, I will say one thing: the moment you unlock Typhon powers, grab yourself Psychoshock at the first possible opportunity. That move is amazing.
Oh yeah, once you've had your first big playthrough, go for it, it's best when coming back to milk the game for all it's worth. I can't lie I've certainly come to see that kind of thing.
I know I'm late to the party but MANN do you guys have an amazing video full of genuinely good tips and tricks, miles ahead of other videos. thank you!
You missed the secret fire alarm stash near the toilets in the lobby (the second of the 2 lootable fire alarms in the lobby) honesty can't remember if it has nuero mods in it though :S I've found by far the best things to recycle with the grenades are operator wrecks, they give so much more resources then anything else, for optimal yield, throw a few operators wrecks on to a bundle of typhon gibs and then recycle :) to repair turrets you only need lvl 2 repair, lvl 3 lets you fortify them giving them permanent double max health i think also you don't have to incapacitate operators to hack them, they just have to be unaware of you :)
Easy is to use sneak attack bonus, with combat focus psi ability from security line, gloo enemies down, then wack em dead with charged wench attacks. Saves a lot of shotgun ammo. Bonus damage is done to glooed or stunned enemies.
In the intro in the debrief room with the safe and safe code that is erased from the dry erase board, if you climb up onto the cabinet on the right there is a briefcase on top with the stun gun and impact amp-s390 chipset.
Also use recycler charges to kill enemys especially higher level typhons as it deals lots of damage and as an added bonus if it kills the enemy it can break them down into a ton of exotic material.
These tips are a freakin' life saver. I remember playing it first when it came out and I only found like 8 of the neuromods, the gloo gun, and the pistol. These definitely help.
Never had that problem. But I found one thing it didn't work on. The lid on top of the control room in the reactor core area. The one that has huge performance issues. There is a thing on top of it that requires leverage to move but is immune to recycle charges. Probably a bug.
Thank You very much for the great info. As usual I am late to the party but bear with me I was born in the 60s and dont have time (or skill) to play games on daily marathons when they come out. I take them sloooooow. One word of advice: turrets. Set them in groups and set up killing fields. I have cleaned out entire levels using them
Can't believe I didn't now how to get into the security office at the shuttle bay entrance. The shotgun was the last weapon I picked up before entering Psychotronics after acquiring the Q-Beam and the Huntress Boltcaster already. This is also on my most recent game I started, and I've been playing this game for over two years now.
Just got the game and I don't regret it at all now that I got the fps boost and with how much the game changed since this is basically the effect immersive scifi experience it doesn't get any better so 9/10
Use combat focus and the glue gun paired with the pistol, the dps bonus is enough to deal with 3 phantoms at the same time, its been a minute since i played prey but i reinstalled to give it a shot and that was the strat i used for those first moments in the early game
You can still get good endings, it's just that the sanctimonious robot decides to fake your voice telling them not to wait for you in one ending if you have too much good stuff, making the run to the bay much harder timewise.
do both. prepare a pile of furniture and keep a little passage between. install recycling charge as trap. if you come back to this room and have (new) enemy around, lure them into the trap: 2 birds with one stone. but my recommendation is to create furniture piles for recycling charges wherever you find lots of stuff made out of steel. the materials come in handy to fabricate more ammunition, neuromods and weapon upgrades than you can chew, and this gives you more than enough power to deal with the hardest of the enemies. just kill with style, use combos of different attacks (weapon + neuromod ability or stun weapon + attack weapon if you want to beat the "no mods" achievement)
Thanks for the tips, the neuromods tip is great now I can go back to the first floor and check every nook and cranny with a bit of a head start especially in the shotgun damage department lol
At the start i recommend getting hacking first, because you get instant access to another weapon upgrade kit. you can just move object from block doors with the canisters. Even the large objects blocking you from that first room to the left when you enter the main area, you can knock it out of the way, and get a chipset.
if you want to save as many people as possible inside the crew quartiers and the greenhouse: USE YOUR STUN GUN on them before their heads explode. they immediatly pass out and aren't under control of the Telepath(s) anymore - don't worry, you still can loot them.
Where I find dead people are neuromods, nearby or on them and to find these people, find a security station to locate them all and theirs one in every area. Luckily I didn't watch this video to spoil where these items are, so that means I already got them all and beat the game, also I find the stun gun useless but all I do is make shotgun ammo and pistol ammo, Q-beam ammo when I get loads of material
The disruptor stun gun can be obtained right after breaking the window, head forward the right into a small room with a torture chair, jump up onto the object to your left to find a briefcase with some goodies. yw have fun
you dont need to waste a neromod on leverage. all you need is an alongated object say a trashcan or chair and slowly wedje it inbetween the objects and the wall, it will slowly move it out of the way
I just bought this game (i know im late but im loving it now so that must count for something). This has been the best video ive found so far. I typically avoid tip videos from named companies like ign, gamespot, etc in favor of more user created content from individuals because the big names usually give incredibly obvious tips that any decent gamer will figure out in the first hour. This video has slightly changed my mind and given me a large boost of respect for “xbox on”. Good job. New sub here.
Trying to complete this game with no Alien DNA. Unfortunately because I wanted to save mind-controlled humans I have invested into mind jack 1. There goes my run but I'm not counting it. Edit: For moving heavy items I have used 02 canisters.
I used the lift and i went down to the Life Support first and went back up to The Arboretum and i got surprised by a blackout and a Phantom kill it fast as possible guys.
You actually don't even need leverage one. Using any object of decent size you can pick up, you can wedge between the larger things and the wall, and eventually, it'll push itself (try dropping and re-picking up the item to quicken the process)
Hi i need to say u can find the stun gun much much earlier!😊 when u come out from the apartment and fond the safe that u dont have the code for. Just jump up on the big thingy that are beside the code u cant read!😊 u get a möte up there to that reads how död u get up here IF i remember corectly!😊
Prey is by far my favourite game. For my 5th play through i decided to be a masochist and play through with no neuromods, nighmare difficulty and with all the status effects on. It makes it so hard. I cant repear weapons.
Ok so how many neuromods are we supposed to find in I.T security ? Cuz you say on the top floor to the left and in the back corner , but I've only found the ones you show and say that are in the corner
Yea and agree, build up material expert first. You can hack and come back latter. I know the ships big but still. Cause you’ll need to use all the dang materials you can get soon enough.
Wait hold up, recycle food? Food has saved my life COUNTLESS times, and Medkits are numbered. While it is possible to eat all of the food on the station and you can run out, you would never have to use a Medkit at all if you're carrying enough. Sure, it takes up space, but the Well Fed buff makes each use of 5 health so much more worth it and you'll stay alive longer.
game needed more weapons or modifications for current weapons. Was really hoping you could upgrade the huntress and turn it into a grenade launcher or something cool like that.
My personal opinion, DO NOT WASTE NEROMODS ON LEVERAGE. Just use recycler nades and spend mods early mods on hacking, and inventory space so you could basically fabricate infinite Neromods with everything you loot
Guys ALL Red Fire Alarm that have a RED LIGHT lit above them is a safe.
hit them 3 times as shown in the video.
Like so ppl can see :)
good to know, I am slightly annoyed as I thought I was being incredibly thorough in this game, but how in the hell was I supposed to know that? Regardless, I will keep an eye out for more.
There is an actual in-game reason why these alarms have been swapped out so keep an eye out for that if you're interested.
Haha Yeah, soon after i saw this video I stumbled onto a transcribe that it's a smuggling ring of the sort!
pretty cool how theyre not just "secretive safes". they actually mattered to somebody on the ship
It is a side mission. The safes are part of a smuggling ring.
Hi
You can actually get the stun gun and a LOAD of other stuff as soon as all hell breaks loose. It's in the same room as the locked safe (in the simulation monitoring section). If you jump on top of the lockers and boxes you can find a load of super helpful items, plus a cheeky bit of dialogue plays from Alex. Thumbs up so people can see!
Wow, we missed that! Good shout.
Yeah, I found it accidentally being both curious and scared which seems to have helped massively in the early game.
From the Playstation Realm.
this was so helpful I went and played back Prey.
I stopped because im stuck between "Dr. Calvino's hardware lab quest and G.U.T.S quest as i cant find the damn psychoscope"
but this will certainly help me and motivate me to find it!
when you get into psycho tronics there should be a hole in the floor in the bathrrom , go dow there and find the scope...
You're welcome! It was a pain to find, but as the previous replier detailed where it was I'm sure you'll do it! :D
i suggest getting the "materials expert" early to get 20% more materials from your recycler , it doesnt seem much but it starts adding when you figure out you need alot of ammo early on , plus its very usefull when you can make neuromods later on...
1:46 The best use of the crossbow for me was dealing with cystoids, one or a few shots and they die far away. No heavy ammo wasted.
Omg thank you.
In the beginning, when you are low on health, find the double water fountains outside the bathroom. Drink from one then the other. You don't have to wait until you are done with one to drink from the other so you can get your health back to 100 much faster. That's my only tip so far. I'm just 2 hours in.
In case of full inventory just drop all the junk on the floor, stand back, and drop a recycler charge. For more yield throw a few props in the pile too.
You're welcome.
RDJ9942 I just want you to know it’s 2020 and you out here saving lives with this tip. Thank you.
I finished this game 3 years later and didnt think of this. wow.
I just use the recyler in the office along with the mod which increases yield and im swimming in materials. In about 16 or so I've only crafted 2 boxes of handgun ammo and one box of shotgun shells. Then about 10 minutes after found a supply to last my playstyle for at least a few hours.
Wow
Put your upgrade kits into your stun gun. Stunning typhon and machines gives you a chance to take them down. Upgrading the clip size increases the how many shots you can get out of 100 ammo (an new stun gun uses 25 per shot but a fully upgraded one uses 7 per shot).
In the later game the stun gun is very effective against military operators. Any operator drops stun gun ammo so if you have a well upgraded gun, you won't use that much ammo.
I just bought the game a couple hours ago, I can't believe there are so many different ways to get your objectives done. I love it!
ForSaKen Overcast exactly .. this gives you satisfaction .. not the "get a quick power fix and run your way through" .. this game makes you think, try things and explore.
The Mobility neuromod is super fun, and when combined with the GLOO cannon, there's almost nowhere you can't get to!
I actually found the safe without the mission at the start because I was trying to ring the bell by hitting it with my wrench lol I was so suprised and after that I was hitting just about everything on the walls for more hidden safes XP
just like hollow knight, where half of the entire game is hidden behind breakable walls
pray it's an awesome game it's worth a buy
Luka Alefosio No it is not... Unless you are talking about the 2006 original. I already told all my friends not to get it.
+chdreturns So.. You're here looking tips for a game you dislike? Also; let your friends decide themselves ;) Great game - but very hard at times
i would have prefered prey 2 and i was honestly pretty upset with this game when it came out but now that i decided to give it a try
Prey is amazing
It’s a good start, hope they make a sequel or release dlc soon
how does anyone figure some of this stuff out? like hitting that alarm 3 times to open that safe. was that in the thousands of emails your supposed to read.
Inspector Steve You get side quest about that from later on.Same with the test answers opening safe
well not just in this game but other games as well. some of the Easter eggs are crazy especially in God's zombie
You find out about it in the Arboretum. Dead body next to one of these "safes" and they tell you about it from the transcribe. The body is in the tunnel across from the Y stair case.
No it’s a transcribe in the arboretum
I'd also recommend NOT 'recycling most of your food'. If you are patient, you can heal up by eating a piece of food and, waiting for the recovery buff to expire, then rinse and repeat until you are back to your max health. It will save you from having to use a lot of Med Kits, which can help early game when you're still getting the hang of fighting the Typhon with your wrench.
Pile dead humans to nearby Typhon bodies and lob a recycler grenade. Yes, waste of grenade and the organic yield is not enough for a medkit but it deals with that bugged medal of saving every human and I & it. Arcane needs to relook at the game and if the damage is taking longer than needed, they should make Mooncrash free addon.
Another tip: Crafting nerf gun is very cheap. And when you dismantle them you get one repair part!
David Hytha Thanks for the info! i used to just use my shotgun on all the balls from the crystaloids. This will help me save ammo
The bolts are reusable. Collect them after you shoot if you are stingy.
There great against cryptids
Leverage I: Better than gamespot's advice to get Leverage III, but still forgets that recycler grenades are ridiculously plentiful by mid game. Gloo Gun: You don't need Gloo to get to the second level, just use convenient platforming. Also forgot about the stun gun in that area, and the stun gun even earlier. Recycler Grenades: You get more minerals from putting grenades in a recycler than from using the grenade on 99% of the environment.
That said, I didn't know about the neuromods in Security - it's amazing how many tiny corners have hidden loot.
Also, nightmare isn't that hard once you have a few hours in. I did no needles on nightmare up until deep storage with little to no problems, even though I didn't avoid any fights. Certainly is scary that first time though :)
Thanks for the Recycler Grenade tips!
Me either, gonna go get it right now!! Woo!
wait, the monster or the mode?
If you don't want to spoil a game for yourself, don't watch this video. Find your own way of playing, that is the key. This game is not a "Sci-fi, survival FPS shooter", it's an Immersive Sim. Find your own way to beat the game. The enemies are tough at the beginning for a reason. Use your thinking to tackle the problem and you will find satisfaction.
Agreed 💯. This type of video is fine once you're done with your first playthrough and help gather ressources early while in new game +
Yeah, feels more like a list of exploits than starting tips...
SOOO that's why i died like 5 times in my first 3 hours of play xD
The first hours are rough. I'm happy I found some of them my myself, but I'm stuck in a particular task (that damn technopath outside Talos keeps killing me) so those tips were really useful. I don't think after 6 gameplay hours this vid spoils the game, but...
احسنت
oh , and you don't have to hack into IT security , break your LG window in morgans office and there's a path way behind it , you can shoot thru the glass floor (which is the ceiling of the IT security office) and drop down into the office , beware there are bad guys down there.
you can also use explosive cylinders to move leverage 3 objects OR use one of your recycle grenades to get rid of the objects if you have too...
wampumbiskit You wont be able to get into the area with the glass floor without having the General Access Keycard
ImmenseFox yeah you will, just break the looking Glass in your office
A wooden oof will this affect your ability to watch the videos?
Antonio Pitts You are able to repair the LG window
Great tips :) Only thing I disagree with is the part where you say to also add most of the food to the recycler.. The 5 health you gain also gives you a status effect that heals you.. If you eat 2 pieces of food, you'll get 20 health.. But if you get the neuromod that heals you more with food, food is suddenly a very viable option of always having a way to heal. If you have too much of it, I'd rather store it in Morgan's office locker and use the room as a hub.. It's likely that later in the game you'll come across a point where resources start being more scarce..
yes true that....i was really in big doubt when I started the game, that the food is there just to heal you for 5 HP :D
Thanks for explaining the status effects - must have missed that!
Sarcasm Yes. I loaded up on health perks as soon as possible and now I have a surplus of med kits, as I only need food for now. Can't stress the importance of taking this game SLOW. There's just too much to miss or not consider. Maybe it's a "FPS", but it shouldn't be played as one.
Were you being sarcastic! 😀
Yes, the well fed bunus, something like it
I was really running out of neuromods to finally unlock Hacking Level 3 (important for all those robot pests) before looking your video, thank you very much!
robot pests? use the stun gun
picking all the flowers around the station organic materials are so useful medkits gloo canisters
I would HIGHLY suggest not listening to the transcribe that is in the hidden safe that you get with the survey answers. The transcribe reveals story elements that you aren't supposed to know at that point. You actually can get the survey answers late in the game, which I suggest that you do.

Although of I had to offer a hint myself, I will say one thing: the moment you unlock Typhon powers, grab yourself Psychoshock at the first possible opportunity. That move is amazing.
There are some things, like the hidden safes, that you wouldn't discover otherwise...
Oh yeah, once you've had your first big playthrough, go for it, it's best when coming back to milk the game for all it's worth. I can't lie I've certainly come to see that kind of thing.
Easy Trophy/Achievment in the very beginning. jump into the helicopter blades! Seriously.
Late to the party, but that's actually my first achievement in the game 😂
I did that because I was wondering what would happen
Me too
@@mrtuxedo1467 same lol
In the beginning?
Wow....totally never even thought about that Leverage one. Also looks like I've got some more Neuromods to find. Good on ya, Xbox On!
Yep! To speed things up if you can find a gas tank then throwing it to barricaded door clears it even quicker!
You dont even need level one, just something with a but of heft. It's also easier to just push it with an object
I know I'm late to the party but MANN do you guys have an amazing video full of genuinely good tips and tricks, miles ahead of other videos. thank you!
You missed the secret fire alarm stash near the toilets in the lobby (the second of the 2 lootable fire alarms in the lobby) honesty can't remember if it has nuero mods in it though :S
I've found by far the best things to recycle with the grenades are operator wrecks, they give so much more resources then anything else, for optimal yield, throw a few operators wrecks on to a bundle of typhon gibs and then recycle :)
to repair turrets you only need lvl 2 repair, lvl 3 lets you fortify them giving them permanent double max health i think
also you don't have to incapacitate operators to hack them, they just have to be unaware of you :)
am shocked
this is actually THE BEST tips and tricks video for this game I have seen
Thanks for the gaming tips
Easy is to use sneak attack bonus, with combat focus psi ability from security line, gloo enemies down, then wack em dead with charged wench attacks. Saves a lot of shotgun ammo. Bonus damage is done to glooed or stunned enemies.
In the intro in the debrief room with the safe and safe code that is erased from the dry erase board, if you climb up onto the cabinet on the right there is a briefcase on top with the stun gun and impact amp-s390 chipset.
Ok, I'm starting over lol!
Would have never thought to whack that alarm just to find a safe on the other side! Thanks!
Also use recycler charges to kill enemys especially higher level typhons as it deals lots of damage and as an added bonus if it kills the enemy it can break them down into a ton of exotic material.
If anyone is interested, the code for the safe in the security room can be found if you read that book that's on the desk!!!!
These tips are a freakin' life saver. I remember playing it first when it came out and I only found like 8 of the neuromods, the gloo gun, and the pistol. These definitely help.
Leverage is useless. Just throw a recycler charge at the boxes in the way.
nomercy8989 but sometimes it can suck up the things that you will need
(It happen to me once and I had to restart the game because of it)
Never had that problem. But I found one thing it didn't work on. The lid on top of the control room in the reactor core area. The one that has huge performance issues. There is a thing on top of it that requires leverage to move but is immune to recycle charges. Probably a bug.
nomercy8989 Also u can push leverage 3 objects by throwing leverage 2 objects at them
You don't have recycler chargers in the very beginning though.
Wow great. Thank you. I find this game realy hard to play. The only 'trick' i found was drinking al lot.. a lot of water to increase my health lol.
Thank You very much for the great info. As usual I am late to the party but bear with me I was born in the 60s and dont have time (or skill) to play games on daily marathons when they come out. I take them sloooooow.
One word of advice: turrets. Set them in groups and set up killing fields. I have cleaned out entire levels using them
The mods found at Yuri's desk are a part of a side mission that you pick up when you listen to one of the dead crew's transcribe.
I love how inventive this game is and how it allows players to be very resourceful
Can't believe I didn't now how to get into the security office at the shuttle bay entrance. The shotgun was the last weapon I picked up before entering Psychotronics after acquiring the Q-Beam and the Huntress Boltcaster already. This is also on my most recent game I started, and I've been playing this game for over two years now.
You can kill the fire phantom with one bullet... just shoot the tanks he stands next to
The fire phantom is immune to fire.
Just got the game and I don't regret it at all now that I got the fps boost and with how much the game changed since this is basically the effect immersive scifi experience it doesn't get any better so 9/10
2:10 It's a volunteer with a boatload of batteries
Hes an xbox player
many of these i found myself just playing and look around but good for anyone who dont explore all and explore carefully
Use combat focus and the glue gun paired with the pistol, the dps bonus is enough to deal with 3 phantoms at the same time, its been a minute since i played prey but i reinstalled to give it a shot and that was the strat i used for those first moments in the early game
The great thing about this game is you can play it any way you want, just don't expect to get a 'good' ending if you go full Wizard.
You can still get good endings, it's just that the sanctimonious robot decides to fake your voice telling them not to wait for you in one ending if you have too much good stuff, making the run to the bay much harder timewise.
Helpful thanks. Was super annoying without this info. - now I can have a crack with a sense of hope!
Great tips thank you
U use the recycler charge on groups of mimics or elemental phantoms
its easier to find an explosive canister, place it by the door thats blocked, give some distance and then shoot it.
Didn’t expect to have this help me 5 years later
I'm at the point where I got all abilities xD I now recycle my mods xD newgame+ is awesome :D
thanks, only one I didn't follow was not getting the repair skill, my bad.
You forgot the skill recorded room which you can get in with lv2 hacking. It has a mod in that area on a dead body
Dont use the charges on furniture. You will find alot of hard enemies. The charges are great against them
do both. prepare a pile of furniture and keep a little passage between. install recycling charge as trap. if you come back to this room and have (new) enemy around, lure them into the trap: 2 birds with one stone.
but my recommendation is to create furniture piles for recycling charges wherever you find lots of stuff made out of steel. the materials come in handy to fabricate more ammunition, neuromods and weapon upgrades than you can chew, and this gives you more than enough power to deal with the hardest of the enemies. just kill with style, use combos of different attacks (weapon + neuromod ability or stun weapon + attack weapon if you want to beat the "no mods" achievement)
Thanks for the tips, the neuromods tip is great now I can go back to the first floor and check every nook and cranny with a bit of a head start especially in the shotgun damage department lol
Use a recycler grenade to clear those crates aswell
At the start i recommend getting hacking first, because you get instant access to another weapon upgrade kit. you can just move object from block doors with the canisters. Even the large objects blocking you from that first room to the left when you enter the main area, you can knock it out of the way, and get a chipset.
if you want to save as many people as possible inside the crew quartiers and the greenhouse: USE YOUR STUN GUN on them before their heads explode. they immediatly pass out and aren't under control of the Telepath(s) anymore - don't worry, you still can loot them.
Xbox On: We are 10 hours into prey
Me: I finished prey in 8
I paid money for this game and it's keeping secrets from me!?
If you struggle with techno or telos, coat them with gloo gun while they're high off the ground, they crash to the ground and die almost instantly
Where I find dead people are neuromods, nearby or on them and to find these people, find a security station to locate them all and theirs one in every area. Luckily I didn't watch this video to spoil where these items are, so that means I already got them all and beat the game, also I find the stun gun useless but all I do is make shotgun ammo and pistol ammo, Q-beam ammo when I get loads of material
The disruptor stun gun can be obtained right after breaking the window, head forward the right into a small room with a torture chair, jump up onto the object to your left to find a briefcase with some goodies. yw have fun
Already told 'em, don't worry! This community is on it lol
you dont need to waste a neromod on leverage. all you need is an alongated object say a trashcan or chair and slowly wedje it inbetween the objects and the wall, it will slowly move it out of the way
that air duct being blocked by a heavy crate requiring an upgrade is completely taken by Deus Ex (and even the way the "door" opens up)
This video saved my life
You could get leverage or just use recycling bombs on the stuff you want to remove, plus you get more mats o.o
I just bought this game (i know im late but im loving it now so that must count for something). This has been the best video ive found so far. I typically avoid tip videos from named companies like ign, gamespot, etc in favor of more user created content from individuals because the big names usually give incredibly obvious tips that any decent gamer will figure out in the first hour. This video has slightly changed my mind and given me a large boost of respect for “xbox on”. Good job. New sub here.
Trying to complete this game with no Alien DNA. Unfortunately because I wanted to save mind-controlled humans I have invested into mind jack 1. There goes my run but I'm not counting it.
Edit: For moving heavy items I have used 02 canisters.
Can't you use the stun gun instead of mind jack?
Learned that way too late. You can in fact use a stun gun to take them down & not kill them. I don't know how long that works for though.
I used the lift and i went down to the Life Support first and went back up to The Arboretum and i got surprised by a blackout and a Phantom kill it fast as possible guys.
You actually don't even need leverage one. Using any object of decent size you can pick up, you can wedge between the larger things and the wall, and eventually, it'll push itself (try dropping and re-picking up the item to quicken the process)
Helpful guide for a noob like me
Great tips! I'm going to play the hour demo and if I enjoy my time I will most likely purchase the full game :)
AidanCM12 just wait for a month or two to get it cheap
Actually, you can hack Corrupted Operators without stunning them or anything. You just have to get close enough and press HACK.
If you have the bolter you can shoot the button which is very hard
Nice tips! I approve! I didn't know about the mods in Elias Black's office.
2019 anyone?
Replaying this game
Does the game have a 0451 code for a door or safe or other? EDIT: 4:23 confirms it!
Thanks for the tips! Really appreciate them. I'm currently play PREY on my PS4 SLIM.
Great video. THX!
Hi i need to say u can find the stun gun much much earlier!😊 when u come out from the apartment and fond the safe that u dont have the code for. Just jump up on the big thingy that are beside the code u cant read!😊 u get a möte up there to that reads how död u get up here IF i remember corectly!😊
I just poured my neromods into increasing my health. It makes the game so much easier at the start
Helped me a lot! Thx! ^^
3:38 you don’t need the bow use your hands with the closest window
Prey is by far my favourite game. For my 5th play through i decided to be a masochist and play through with no neuromods, nighmare difficulty and with all the status effects on. It makes it so hard. I cant repear weapons.
throw thash at cystoids they will folow it and explode on the object or follow it for ever if you are in space.
Awesome tips and tricks 👍
I got leverage and already knocked down that first crate.. but didn't knew theres was a other door I cant try push
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE, THANK YOU.
Ok so how many neuromods are we supposed to find in I.T security ? Cuz you say on the top floor to the left and in the back corner , but I've only found the ones you show and say that are in the corner
good to know ;)

Yea and agree, build up material expert first. You can hack and come back latter. I know the ships big but still. Cause you’ll need to use all the dang materials you can get soon enough.
Wait hold up, recycle food? Food has saved my life COUNTLESS times, and Medkits are numbered. While it is possible to eat all of the food on the station and you can run out, you would never have to use a Medkit at all if you're carrying enough. Sure, it takes up space, but the Well Fed buff makes each use of 5 health so much more worth it and you'll stay alive longer.
I forgot about all those room 😭 I didn't know about any of these tips. Now I got to buy the game lol
When you get to guts start heading for leverage 3 you need it for the abitorium
good game...only i found it in many ways similar to bioshock
game needed more weapons or modifications for current weapons. Was really hoping you could upgrade the huntress and turn it into a grenade launcher or something cool like that.
Casey Edwards hopefully they savd that stuff for either a DLC or even Prey 2!!!
I hope you mean a paint grenade, cause even the lax standards of evil corporations trying to shove alien goo in people have limits.
My personal opinion, DO NOT WASTE NEROMODS ON LEVERAGE. Just use recycler nades and spend mods early mods on hacking, and inventory space so you could basically fabricate infinite Neromods with everything you loot
I have 24 and dont want to use any because the turrets might shoot me
