Puzzle Tips

This level has the potential to stick you pretty quickly if you're not paying attention. Notice that nowhere in the somewhat limited area in the canyon is there any man-made structure -- well, except that trashcan-looking thing in that one cave. Try the action key on it. Okay, so there's a hidden switch behind it, but I like to say you're pushing it! If you get stuck in the next room, just remember that, despite the terraforming efforts, airlocks are still neccessary on Mars. So wait for the outer door to close and you'll be able to open the inner door.

From there, everything should be pretty straightforward.

Combat Tips

At the elevator just past the shooting gallery, try firing one round into the elevator without stepping into it. This will bring the monsters down to you a few at a time, rather than putting you in the middle of them!

In the fusion mini-generator room, if you're having trouble killing everything before getting blasted yourself, try pissing off the monsters, then going back up the elevator before they can shoot you. Then make the elevator go back down, staying at the top, and you'll have a single-file line to pick off when they come up the shaft.
