Secrets

  • #1) Enter this map from Borehole using the long platform-elevator, going all the way to the lowest level. Entering from here deposits you in a room with 2 Gunners guarding 2 Power Conduits. Kill them and destroy the Power Conduits to grant you access out of the starting room. Immediately when you go down the following ramp and come to an intersection where you must turn left to progress, look at the wall to your right. You will see a wall that, while not sparking, does have a few holes punched into it. Blow it up to reveal an Invulnerability.
  • #2) After traversing through Lower Mines, you will reach the Unit Exit elevator. The room contains crates and explosive barrels, and the secret is a ledge on the upper right of the room, upon which there is an Adrenaline. The easiest way to reach it is to jump from a barrel to the crates, but if the barrels are destroyed when you fight the Guards and Tank(s) in this room, it's still possible to reach it by jumping from the side bars of the elevator to the crate.
