| - The front yard and roof are blocked by a barricade and several Belltower light and medium agents. The light agents hold pistols and the medium ones hold machine pistols. They will not shoot on sight, but upon passing or being seen further than the medium will trigger them all to shoot at Jensen. Taking the front entrance is not recommended if Jensen does not want to confront enemies, as the two guarding the front door are very difficult to sneak past. The apartments at ground level hold several useful items, but are not necessary for any main or side quest. Climbing onto a roof and sliding behind a billboard will allow Jensen onto the roof of the perimeter wall of the ground area. Jensen can sneak around this roof to an unlocked door into the hotel, or crawl into the airvent in the public bathroom to access the elevator shaft. There is a Praxis kit at the bottom of the elevator shaft, but traversing the shaft requires a lot of climbing. Once at the top floor, Jensen can enter van Bruggen's room for the Hunting the Hacker main quest, or Jaya's room only if he is pursuing the Bar Tab side quest. Otherwise she will not be here. Jensen can either enter van Bruggen's apartment through the front door, necessitating that they eliminate two light Belltower agents, or crawl through an airvent if he has upgraded Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis to lift a vending machine. The apartment itself has 3 more light Belltower agents.
