NEED HELP!

I'm right at the beginning of ACT 5. I've just arrived on the 'you know what' and i gotta get to the door at the other end of the deck (one that you need to unscrew). For teh life of me i can't get past this bit. i've got quite far stealthy, but theres no way, stealthily, to creep up and open the door. I've tried fighting my way through but they keep just respawning. Especially with the gecko's patrolling, whcih i figured could only be killed by the 'recently picked up gun'

Please help guys! How do i get past this bit? just wanna be able to get through that damn door, which is made worse by the fact you have to stand by it for a while and turn the handle!

I used the 'you know which gun' to blow up the gekko guarding the door, and then did a spread of bullets behind me to kill any FROGS, equipped my rations, and jammed on the triangle button to open the door.

Take out the guards on the right side of the door; make your way to the door and wait for the geckos to move away, then charge the door and tap that triangle button!

just be patient and take your time, making sure to keep to cover, and take out all of the enemies safely.
[spoiler] Rail gun is pretty effective a lot of the time too [/spoiler]

I 'used the new gun' on the geekos and then threw a flash grenade that gave me just enough time to open the door.

Yea that part was kinda nuts. Their coming from many angles. Plus you had to deal with those Walking Geks. And just when you think your in the clear and ok, you start getting blasted by 3 of them from behind. Or above,, as the flip and jump all over the place.

I guess you can blast threw. But Best to try and stay somewhat patient.

[spoiler] Crawl, using automatic OctoCamo and also the OctoCamo FaceCamo. Use Solid Eye. The nightvision mode might help you find enemies if you need it. I destroyed the Gekkos with the Rail Gun. It's highly effective. Though if others say you can wait for them to get out of the way, I guess you can. Just make sure you look everywhere especially when you are in the area with the door. Look up. There may definitely be a couple FROGS really high up that will spot you if you go to that door without tranquilizing/killing them first. [/spoiler]

If you use the full Octo camo, and sneak your way forward with the Solid Eye - on your belly - while taking out every froggie with a silenced machine gun - I used the custom M 5 - you should make it. Just hug the walls when you run into the "You know what" and be patient. Stay out of the laser and you'll be fine. Be patient. Patience is the key here. The "You know what" guarding the door will leave, you just have to wait. Wait for the other "You know what" to walk around to the other side of the pillar, and you're home free.

Blasting through isn't a very good option, the "You know what" are, as far as I saw, an endless respawn. I killed six one time through.

As long as you stay in full camo prone, you shouldn't draw their attentionn unless they either step on you, or you get in the beam. And as I said, patience is the key.
