| ===== Guard Entrance Doors ===== | ===== Guard Entrance Doors ===== |
| |
| | Two **guard entrance doors** block the way to [[:facility#guard entrance]] rooms. These doors cannot be opened by agency-controlled units, and automatically close once [[:guards]] pass through them, even if a [[:guard]] would not normally close a door in that situation. As such, it is not normally possible for an [[:agent]] to enter [[:facility#guard entrances]]. |
| |
| | It is possible to set up a [[:items:Shock Trap]] on these doors. |

| * It's a good habit to always close doors after moving through them, as doors left open can leave unexpected sight lines for guards to see your [[:agents]] later. Random doors being open tends to favor the [[:guards]] over the player. There are a few exceptions, primarily in situations when a [[:guard]] will notice the door being closed, but closing the door should be the default option. | * It's a good habit to always close doors after moving through them, as doors left open can leave unexpected sight lines for guards to see your [[:agents]] later.

| * If a [[:guard]] sees the door you're about to open, consider waiting until next turn to open it - he may patrol away, allowing you to open it undetected next turn. Simply opening the door (from a diagonally adjacent tile), luring the [[:guard]] in, and [[:KO|KOing]] him is also a viable option, but it is better to avoid disturbing the guard at all. | * If a [[:guard]] sees the door you're about to open, consider waiting until next turn to open it - he may patrol away, allowing you to open it undetected next turn.

| | * If no [[:guard]] sees the door you're about to open, you can freely open the door and then [[:peeking|peek]] again to get a more complete picture of the next room, and allow you to hack [[:mainframe devices]] there. |
| | * On difficulties below [[:modes:Expert Plus]], you can be sure no [[:guard]] will notice the door if the tile in front of it is not "Watched", "Noticed", or "Hidden". |

| * On turn 1, your first task in the mission is to assess how to protect your [[:agents]] from being seen by [[:guards]] any guards entering the [[:facility#Starting room]]. This can be done by using [[:cover]], [[:ambushing]], or sometimes with early exploration. If you have enough AP to do so, [[:peeking]] into the next room(s) is a good idea, though you should have a plan if the door is not safe to open. If no [[:guards]] enter the [[:facility#Starting room]] on the first turn, it's (probably) [[:guard_behaviour#patrolling|patrol]]-free, and you can use AP more liberally. | * On turn 1, your first task in the mission is to assess how to protect your [[:agents]] from being seen by [[:guards]] any guards entering the [[:facility#Starting room]].

| * When [[:peeking]] into a room for the first time, it's a good idea to maintain the peek through the door through the [[:corporation]]'s turn to observe the room for a full turn.

| |
| | On [[:modes:Expert Plus]], you can no longer be sure that a door is not seen by a guard when [[:peeking]] through it while closed. |
| | |
| | This means that you will always need to account for the possibility that a [[:guard_behaviour#stationary]] [[:guard]] is watching the door, even if you [[:peeking|peek]] through it and listen for [[:guard_behaviour#patrolling|patrols]]. Because of this, on [[:modes:Expert Plus]], you should avoid opening doors unless you are able to account for this possibility, even with a [[:peeking|peek]] through the door. As a result, if you **can** account for this possibility, it can often be better to open the door (from a diagonally adjacent tile) without [[:peeking]], [[:peeking|peek]] with the door open, then (if noticed) get to safety. |
