How to Solve PA-400 Canister Rail Puzzle

Getting the PA-400 canister from one side of the area to the other will require some thinking. And yes, that means, another puzzle in a game that has a decent amount of those. Well, you will have to interact with several switches around the room in order to rotate some rails to get the canister to the other side. This can get a little convoluted, so read on to know how to solve the PA-400 canister rail puzzle.

Go up the stairs to the canister and jump across to the panel nearby. Press the button here and the canister will be moved forwards. Cross the metal piece to the next platform and look to the hanging platform. You will be able to interact with it and move it to the right, making your way to the panel on the right. Jump to it and first spin the platform, and then press the arrow button. The canister will move forwards again.

Then, go ahead and drag the moving platform once again to the right. Jump across to the panel above, right where the canister is located. Spin the platforms and press the arrow, you know what will happen. Jump across to the door on the other side, go through it and go down the hall. You will find an exit near to a spinning container. Use it to get to the next control panel. This time, click the arrow to send the canister forward and then spin the rails, just to send it forward again.

Jump on the box that the canister just pushed forward to climb to the next control panel. Spin the rails and send the canister forward. Jump on a platform to the next panel, spin and move forwards again, two times this time. Next, climb up to the panel above the canister, spin and move, and finally, head upstairs to the final control panel, and, you guessed it! Spin the rails and send the canister forwards, again, again, again.
