A small and simple trick with these flame jets that lets you avoid waiting for them to go through their elongated cycles, just from using the MAVI.
Essentially, shortly after saving the engineer and grabbing a few ciphers in act 2, you run into this room with fire blocking it for specific periods of time. Instead of lollygagging about while they go through their routine, you can pull out your MAVI to open the door on the far end and then log into the CCTV monitor past it. When you activate the other door that floods the room with water, Kate is teleported past the flame jets.
This saves probably in the realm of 10 seconds if you get bad timing on the jets, and it's much simpler than chancing it. A very obvious if small improvement to this area that avoids the major dangers.
