VonThronstahl Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm on the 6th mission on hard and have to recover 4 fuses. I got to the checkpoint by the stairs and activated the checkpoint after getting the first fuse. I collected another one and wanted to save at the checkpoint again to avoid having to collect it again if I get caught but I don't have the option to do so. But if the enemies spotted me and I run over the checkpoint it says something like: "Checkpoints can't be activated while enemies are hostile.". Am I doing something wrong or can checkpoints activated only once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Frost Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 As far as I remember, once you use a checkpoint, you can't use it again. However, I also admit to not really using checkpoints much because they were unreliable as far as what would be reset if you had to go back to a checkpoint. But in your description, it sounds more like you were unable to use the checkpoint because of hostile AI and not because you'd used it before.

VonThronstahl Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 I used it before and after the enemies were not hostile the checkpoint turned green again and should be useable. But I couldn't activate it a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drucifer82 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Checkpoints can only be activated once, I'd recommend saving activating it until you double back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonThronstahl Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks. I'll make sure that I don't waste any checkpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGunslinger Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I noticed today while doing "Shaving Lenny" (which has at least three checkpoints) that, while you can't use a checkpoint twice in a row, if you use one checkpoint, then later a second, if you then went back to the first you could use that one again. I don't know if that was a fluke or a regular thing in levels with multiple checkpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that was a fluke or a regular thing in levels with multiple checkpoints. The way it essentially works is that one checkpoint is active at a time. So in the case of a map that has multiple checkpoints, activating one after having activated a previous one makes the previous one available again.

UberPirateNinja Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I've only recently started playing this, one thing is confusing me with the checkpoints. It saves my location within the level, but all enemies respawn. Is that right? Should it be that way? Wasn't sure if it was some sorta glitch I was getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sometimes if you kill a boss after, you can use the same checkpoint again. I can't remember there being a situation like that on the mission you're talking about though. That was my least favourite mission in the game so far, I gave up trying to be stealthy and just sprinted to the elevator once I had the four fuses.
