Sorry to hear the Typhon are giving you so much trouble Herbi! Have you tried slowing the enemies down with the GLOO gun? Or, if you've found it, using the stun gun to temporarily freeze them in place? They can be quite slippery customers so any advantage you can get at slowing them down is worth taking
The "Combat Focus" skill upgrade path might be one to explore as well - this slows down time to give you more advantage in combat. Combined with the Firearms skill which improves your weapons damage and upgrades to individual weapons themselves you can quite quickly become a much more capable killing machine!

Enjoyed watching some of your first steps into the world of Prey last night Aaron - I mean I wasn't expecting you to spend quite that long throwing cushions and rice cookers around your apartment at the start but y'know it's all about playing your own way! 
It's always fun watching people play something like this for the first time, even with the relative amount of tutorials and pop-ups they give you on a first play through I think there's still a fair amount to take in and a good amount of freedom available to the player so it's interesting to see what approach players take and which way they go about the early areas!

I'm using the skills I honed in the apartment to throw explosive cannisters at enemies!
I'm really enjoying it - played a chunk more off stream today and am about to head into GUTS.
I'm really liking the different ways to approach a scenario, and the rewards for exploring. Putting two and two together and figuring out I have to weigh a flask that weighs exactly 171 grams was very rewarding. Shooting a nerf gun through a window to open a door was so satisfying (I later realised I could have also waited for a robot to come and unlock it a la perfect dark).
I'm basically killing everything, but I feel quite weak. Been upgrading my abilities with the wrench and the repair skill. Utilising a lot of the explosive cannisters around the place to make progress. I must have missed the shotgun however as I have seen other streamers with it at this point (and I'm getting a lot of shotgun shells).

Nice, I just got to the GUTS myself!
Using the nerf gun to open doors is so satisfying (it has many other cool uses as well and is one of the best things in the game!

Glad to hear your experimenting with ways to get the edge of your enemies, explosive canisters are very helpful! There are lots of ways to use the environment and various tools and equipment around the station to your advantage.
There are a few places to pickup each weapon, a shotgun can be found really early if you know where to look (it's in quite a logical place) but you'll almost certainly come across one eventually. Or you can find the fabrication plan for it and craft a fresh one!
I really like the GUTS section, the zero gravity spaces can be a bit disorientating but there's also a lot of fun to be had in them, and so much scope for exploring!
