I’m trying to access the console in the dam data store, and I’ve got everything powered up. I’ve disabled the turrets and dealt with the robot, but there’s a huge problem: the rats are pouring out of a broken fan vent on the wall. I’ve tried tossing grenades and Molotovs, but nothing seems to work. How can I read the extra information on the console without getting eaten alive by these rats?

The robot helped me out too! It took care of some of the rats, which made it easier to focus on the console.
You gotta power the vent! Use the power switching tool to get it going. That should help deal with the rat situation.
Once you kill enough of them, they stop spawning. They come from that giant fan vent, so technically, there isn’t a nest to destroy. Just keep swinging, and they’ll eventually die out.
They do seem unlimited at first, but after swinging my knife a lot, they all went down. Don’t give up!
Just kick those little pests! Seriously, use the left collar button to start kicking until they’re all gone. It’s a bit of a workout, but it works!
Not sure what the game designers intended with the rats and other creatures like crabs. Are they supposed to add tension? It feels more like a forced resource challenge since they don’t show up alongside enemies, and you just end up kicking them until you lose interest.
Yeah, they don’t stop coming until you take them all down. I just left the area and re-entered; weirdly, the rats didn’t aggro while I was using the console.
I tried that too, but it just kept sparking. Maybe I skipped a switch? In the end, I just left and came back and the rats weren’t aggressive while I was at the console, which was so strange.
