MAP17: Yet another UAC-Like base is the seventeenth map of Blitz: Race Against Time. It was designed by Vladislav Putintsev (Ear1h) and uses the music track "Escaping the Doomed Fortress" by Myrgharok, from TNT: Evilution MIDI Pack. This map also has a secret exit switch that grants access to MAP31: You have to buy pevko in Winnkar City, the first of the two secret maps of Blitz: Race Against Time.

The level continues the trend of space-themed settings.

Walkthrough

Map of Yet another UAC-Like base

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

Essentials

Pick up the shotgun and green armor, then proceed forward. Open the blinking door near the chaingun and pass through the corridor containing a mech spectre, entering a room with a switch that opens the gate to the western section of the level.

Make your way to this area and collect the rocket launcher and two boxes of rockets. Clear the path leading to the main exit of the level.

Secret exit:

Inside the room with the normal exit, a blue keycard can be found. Take it and return to the room with the mancubus. In the southern part of this section is a blue door. Open it and proceed through a corridor guarded by a shotgun guy, a zombieman, and three plasma zombies. At the end of the corridor is a switch that opens the southern gate leading outside, near the area where the rocket launcher was previously located. There, the player is confronted by a resurrector and two mech demons, while a cyberdemon jr. guards the nearby spaceship. Defeat him to gain access to the switch that leads to the secret level.

Secrets

1. Take the lift south of the start, then head west to get a super shotgun and shotgun shells. (sector 71)
2. Just before the entrance to the south outside area, use the east lift and ride up. The first alcove at the top contains a backpack. (sector 1051)
