Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Rockets Red Glare
Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials[edit]

Grab the supplies at the start, but before you go down the road, head into the water on your right for extra supplies. Head down the road and crawl through the shutter. Jump on the barrels to reach the roof and get behind the barricade. Fight your way through the streets until you reach a grocery store. Enter it and head into the storage room to grab the red keycard. Enter the building on your left as you exit and crawl through the vent in employees only room.

Enter the playground and proceed down the road towards the base. The enemies will ambush you as you approach the shutter, which gives you entry. Head right and enter the storage room with a yellow keycard. Head back and operate the elevator on the other side of the entryway. Ride it up and fight off the enemies you encounter. Take the vents and platform across an area filled with water. Enter the vent that is guarded by a rocket turret and turn off the lasers to proceed.

Head back through the vents and enter the room on your right. Proceed through where the lasers were and head for the silo controls. Once inside, flip the switch and quickly escape through the now broken vent by the barrels. Fight off the rest of the enemies and meet up with your comrades to complete the mission.
