Tips & Tricks to Survive Citadel Station in System Shock

Artura has some tips

Thankfully, we suffered first-hand trying to learn every mechanic so you don't have to. Here are nine tips & tricks for your adventure through Citadel Station!

#1 - Get a Sparq Beam ASAP

Look, it's easy to just run around with an oversized wrench at hand finding mutants and cyborgs to destroy on your quest to defeat SHODAN, until you die... over and over again. Okay! Use your guns...  and then you run out of ammo and it's back to wrench swinging again If you're struggling with enemies, the weapon you'll need to use is a Sparq Beam, the very same ones that enemies use to shoot electricity at you and chunk your life. These handy tools use your Energy as ammo instead of an actual, quantifiable source, meaning that as long as you can go back to a recharge station, you have infinite ammo! And even better...

#2 - Customise Your Sparq Beam

They aren't The bad thing about wrenches? customisable. Sure, they're red or at least, I think they are, although that could be blood - and you could, theoretically, change its colour with some paint, there must be SOME lying around Citadel Station, but it just doesn't feel the same.

Your Sparq Beam has three customisation modes you can choose from: Low, High, and Over, each one costing a different amount of weapon energy (you can only shoot so many times before it overheats) and Energy, but they also have varying levels of strength. If you know of an enemy you want to shoot hard, you can change it to its strongest setting and use all of the weapon's power!

#3 - Save Often

Here's the truth: you're going to be swinging your wrench a little too much, there is going to be a swarm of mutants trying to overwhelm you, and there will eventually be cyborgs and enemies with guns that make yours feel like NERF-brand. Just face it - you're going to die.
