Secrets[edit]

  1. From the ledge overlooking the yellow door, turn left and notice a shootable switch on the wall. This will reveal a teleport pad nearby that would take you to the supercharge. An SR50 jump from the platform across the corridor is also possible. (sector 86)
  2. There's a shootable switch in the room with the blue armor, next to a fenced off lava pool. Shooting it will reveal a teleport to the south-west that will take you to this room. (sector 276)
