Secrets[edit]
- Enter the powerplant and at the fork, turn left (go north). There will be a lift to your immediate left (west) and a metal panel a bit past the vent on the western wall. Jump up here and press on the panel for a berserk pack. (sector 921)
- Return to the fork near the powerplant entrance, and take the door to the east. Jump down the hole in the center of the control room above the reactor to reach the hidden vent area where you can get some supplies, including a plasma gun. (sector 5770)
- In the southeastern part of the base's first floor, near the crates, press on the metal grating on the western wall. This will reveal a soul sphere. (thing 329 via thing 330, ZDoom's "secret trigger" actor)
- You need the yellow key for this secret. Head through the northern door in the room where Secret #3 is located, and take the northern lift up. Shoot the vent on your left (western one) and hop into the hole to reach the vent shaft. Kill shadows as you continue east, then south. At the dead end, press the yellow switch and keep going through the room of health bonuses and rockets to the next vent. There is a hole in front of the armor bonus in the next vent. Drop into the hole to reach a secret room with two friendly marines, a shotgun, a computer area map, a box of rockets, energy cells and medikits. (sector 5112)
