Secrets[edit]

  1. In the super shotgun area, head north and east into the first damaging corridor all the way to the chainsaw. (sector 91)

  3. In the room north of the previous secret with radiation boxes, find a misaligned wall in the southeast corner and open it to get a berserk pack. (sector 197)
