Get the M9 first when you start the game. You can find it to the right past the fence.\\ 
Simply hop over the ledge, go right, come back up after the fence, follow the path.\\ 
The M9 will be in the bottom right corner. Take the same way back again.\\ 
After having touched the node, when the left guard starts waking up,\\ 
stand in front of the bottom guard and hold him up. He can drop his dogtag,\\
while the higher guard gets up as well, to be held up and then tranqed.
====Strut A roof====

Get the right guard first. You can take 1-2 steps before making a sound on the bridge, so the guard doesn't hear you.\\ 
Alternatively you can do a tight cartwheel behind the guard without him noticing you and without him falling over the ledge.\\ 
Once you acquired the right guard's dogtag, continue back and follow the path left to get the left guard's dogtag.
====Strut B Transformer Room====
====BC connecting bridge====
=====Bomb Defusal Round 1======
Depending on going [[adt_plant_ve#clockwise_rotation|clockwise]] or [[adt_plant_ve#counter-clockwise_rotation|counter-clockwise]] to defuse all bombs, you can collect more or less dogtags during this segment.

[[adt_plant_ve#counter-clockwise_rotation|counter-clockwise]] can collect the north Strut-C dogtag before grabbing the sensor B during the bomb defusal.\\ 
compared to later after having met Ames and before Harrier in case of the [[adt_plant_ve#clockwise_rotation|clockwise]] bomb defusal route.

The guard at the computers in Strut-A can be collected earlier during the [[adt_plant_ve#counter-clockwise_rotation|counter-clockwise]] bomb defusal route,\\ 
compared to the [[adt_plant_ve#clockwise_rotation|clockwise]] route which will collect that dogtag at the end before laving for Fortune.
