Map of The Reactor

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. Open the door in the starting room and immediately open the wall to the right to get a box of shotgun shells. (sector 24)
2. In the northwesternmost room, press the switch on the north wall to reveal a passage to the south, then turn east. Press on the wall to the east of the shotgun shells to find a switch, which will briefly lower a wall at the south end of the passage. Quickly run over there and use the wall to reach a secret room. Use the switches here to get a backpack and a chainsaw. (sector 28)
3. In the starting room, shoot the UAC logo and the switch behind it to reveal a blur artifact. (sector 48)
4. The switch just north of the yellow key lowers a column containing imps and a soul sphere. To get the soul sphere, head to the room with the yellow door and press on the wall with green slime on it. Traverse the nukage until you reach the switch at the southwest end, then head all the way north from the switch to reach the soul sphere. (sector 170)
