Retro Game Cheats for The Thing (Xbox)
Effect: Defeating the second big Thing
When:
During the game
How:
Go into to his garage. Fix the electrical panel that operates the hoist. Step back towards the middle of the big door. There is an opening between two of the crates. Using your grenade launcher in first person targeting, send in a grenade. If the Thing turns its head toward you, then you have him targeted. Continue sending in grenades until he begins to burn. You can send in a few more if desired for extra fun. Run into the Thing's room and on the far wall from the big door is a switch. Throw the switch and watch as the Thing dies. You will probably take one hit from him.

Effect: Saving ammunition
When:
During the game
How:
Try not to give all your team members the same weapon because your ammo will go quickly. A good combination is you with a Shotgun or Machine gun, your second man with the one you are not using, then a Pistol. The rest depends on your ammunition supply.

Effect: Keep Williams
When:
During the game
How:
On the level where you must gain access to the weather station, go to the side of the building to your right. Throw a grenade under the vent and the door will be blown off, allowing access. If you had gone in regularly, Williams would have turned into a Thing. Using this trick will save many medikits for the levels ahead

Effect: Road tunnel
When:
During the game
How:
In the level where you first enter the road tunnel, go right to the truck. Blow up the barrel to kill all the little things. You can now either have an engineer fix the lights or not. Follow the left wall back to the door you came in and stop near it. There is a Walker locked up in some boxes. Throw a grenade to blow up the box and let the Walker out. Run back to the truck, or better yet, stand there and watch (if the lights are on). The guards not only get slaughtered, but really wear the Walker down. After he kills the guards, get him to walk around to you (not leaving the general area) then blow up the barrel. If you done correctly, you will kill the walker with ease. Otherwise, torch him.

Effect: Medi-Packs
When:
During the game
How:
Always try to keep medics alive because medical packs can be few and far between. If you want your medic to heal a member of the team, tell your team to stay, then push your medic into the wounded team member. If he is hurt enough, the medic will heal him.

Effect: Being watchful
When:
During the game
How:
Pay very close attention to your team. If you see someone doing odd things, such as not shooting at enemies when they appear, or moving rather far away from you when your walking, be on alert as this could be a sign of infection. However, do not waste a Blood Test Kit on him to see if you are correct. Just be on alert because they could mutate at any second. This also goes for you as well -- if your team sees you doing the same things, they will question your trust and may attack you.

Effect: Bypass second Boss Thing
When:

How:
Don't bother opening the garage door to the Boss Thing, instead get your men to go to the other garage door, then lobb a grenade at them they will run to the garage door and it will open, run inside and repair the power supply watch the cut scene and then get the hell out of there. Run towards the tunnel and jump into the elevator on your left.
