  1. After escaping your cell, head south and press the eastern wall to find a chaingun. (sector 560)
  2. In the connecting hallway at the southern part of the sewer section is a tucked-away switch at the southern wall. Shoot it and head to the northeastern part of the sewers. A gateway will be open, allowing you to get a super shotgun. (sector 542)
  3. At the super shotgun mentioned above, look up at the northwestern corner and shoot the switch there, then drop down and head east and north through another open gate. Press the switch and take the lift up to reach shotgun shells and a shortcut. (sector 555)
  4. In the large room in the center of the map, head to the area east of the maze and directly east to the window. Press the southern wall to get a megaarmor. (sector 27)
  5. At the northernmost room, just before the bridge, head north to a recessed part of the eastern wall and press it to find another megaarmor. (sector 631)
