Secrets[edit]

  1. South-east of the yellow key is a twisty path leading to a room with a shotgun and 4 shotgun shells. The north wall of this room is fake, leading to a room with a switch. Pressing the switch raises you to a platform with a smart gun, a medikit, and (on easy skill) a stimpack. (sector 132)

Bugs[edit]

In the trap at the start point, some aliens invariably get stuck above the ceiling. They can hit you in melee, but you can't attack back. (It is still possible to get 100% kills by patiently waiting for eggs to hatch.)
