Critical Mistakes to Avoid

  • Missing fingerprints: Check all three locations carefully; the game won’t progress without all three

  • Not turning the valve: You must turn the valve before activating the furnace, or the hatch won’t open

  • Forgetting the safe: The 4397E safe contains a free collectible you don’t want to miss

  • Ignoring the high score: The Armory code 1324E is literally Waters’ high score number—don’t skip looking at it

This objective is essential for unlocking your gadgets and weapon for all future missions in the game.
