Your mission in Quake IV: Escort Newberry, shut down the defense grid, and regroup with Rhino Squad. Follow this guide to navigate the Nexus Hub and complete your objectives.
Alright, let's get this convoy moving towards the Nexus Hub. You'll start by following a hallway into a room where you'll meet up with three members of Warthog Squad. The lights will flicker out for a moment – probably just a false alarm, but keep your guard up.
Head into the next room, and uh oh, the lights turn red. This is where Newberry needs to open a door, so let him do his thing. While he's busy, grab the CLIP, SHELLS, and a LARGE HEALTH PACK waiting for you on the right.
Objective Complete: Escort Newberry
Once the door is open, Jones is going to scout ahead. He'll run into a Grunt, and honestly, he doesn't handle it well. You need to rush in quickly and take the Grunt down with your Shotgun. If you're too slow, the Grunt might kill Newberry, and you really don't want that on your conscience after bringing him this far, right? After dealing with the Grunt, look in the back of the room for a "Call Lift" panel. Use it to ride the lift up to the upper level, leaving the others to secure the lower area.
Follow the path through two doors until you reach the control room. Drop down to the lower level where you'll find two LARGE HEALTH PACKS and another panel. Hit the button to reveal the real laser grid control panel. You'll see a map and a blue button – go ahead and press it, assuming it'll shut down the correct grid.
Objective Complete: Shut Down the Defense Grid
Turns out, that disabled all the laser grids. A marine behind a window will try to get your attention. Head over to him, but watch out – another Grunt is about to show up. This one will charge right at you, so get ready to face the door and defend yourself.
Objective: Regroup with Rhino Squad
With your current task finished, your orders are to head back and regroup with the convoy.
