Fastest way to the power

1. Don’t stay on the pistolPlayers note there is a wall-buy weapon in every room. Players Swap as soon as you can afford one; it makes the hunt safer.
2. Open doors earlyBuying doors and clearing debris is how the map opens. Official Players say maps aren’t big and doors aren’t expensive. Players
3. Scan for the red lampThe power door “always has a red light above it.” Players Check above door frames as you enter each new space.
4. Ignore the violet lamp — for nowA purple light marks the Gun Ascension room. Players Note where it is; you’ll come back.
