Found a New secret to Chapter 9 (Maybe)

[Quality House]

When you get past the garden area, you'll be required to get three animal heads to progress to the next part (Ashley's area). When going for the Goat head, you cross the bridge and a helmeted cultist will run out to flip a lever. This will drop the bridge and a shooting gallery will ensue.

BEFORE crossing the bridge use the bolt thrower to plant 2-4 mines on the wall behind the lever. Then quickly run across, if you do it right, the helmeted guy will be killed in the cut scene and the bridge will NOT fall.

It may also kill the Red Cloaked Guy but if not, he will literally just stand there and do his thing, he won't try to switch the lever himself.

The best part is you have ample time to grab the Goat head and all other loot before the cultists reach the bridge. Then they just funnel together as they cross, great for the Striker, Stingray, Punisher, or the LE 5 with its special upgrade.

Yeah this isnt new, it was discovered pretty quickly.

You can use Flashbangs, Rockets or Grenades as well.

See I think I remember using a grenade in the original, but I couldn't remember, it's been so many years. lol

It´s very old, worked in original too. (Flashbang here)
Even all speedrunners made it in original and remake. xD
