Bugged secret in level 2 or am I missing something?

[Space Cowboy]

Hello! I'm currently running around Level 2 but there's a secret I just can't find. The HUD indicator blinks in the middle of the hallway with the hatch and just before the point where you find the the plasma rifle. I also found the preator suit token near that area. Am I missing something or is the secret bugged?

Maybe a lever somewhere to open a door to the classic maps?

Did you take the plasma rifle the first time you were there? If you picked up the plasma rifle after this location, the secret gets bugged because the secret itself triggers when you pick the rifle up, which does not show up if you reload the level.

Unless now there are 2 bugged secrets.

You must just be missing something as I have all the secrets in that level myself. Try following one of the many YouTube vids if you have too much trouble.

I actually missed the plasma rifle on my first time through and it worked fine when I went back. I guess that isn't saying much since we are talking about PC gaming and people can have weird random bugs while others don't experience said bugs.

Alright. I guess it's bugged then - I remember that I quit the game at one point and came back in later and I was wondering where that Plasma rifle came from. Oh well, at least it's only level 2 - doesn't take long to get there.

I am pretty sure the secrets are just the rooms. The indicator is where the pickups would be if they hadn't been already retrieved. If there's a secret missing in your list and you've already been there, it's not that one.

No, this is my second playthrough and I noticed that some secrets only unlock when you pick up the respective item. Btw. I already found all secrets in this level on another playthrough.

On another note. I think this level is particularly buggy. On my first playthrough I had the problem that the cargo lift thingy next to the cargo conveyor went through the ground instead of going up.

For the plasma rifle, specifically, it's for picking it up.

I know because my save file got corrupt, but before it got corrupt, I attempted to get the secret, and I couldn't, because the rifle wasn't there. Once I restarted the game, I picked up the rifle, and only then the message that I found a secret appeared.

The room where the chainsaw is, I'm missing the green armor on the platform above, chasing my brain for naught.

Try climbing the fence outside of that room.

Try hitting the button not far from there. If you go through more than 1 door from the chainsaw you went too far. Button creates a kind of path for you.

I don't think fence climbing is a option he falls, as for the button, now thats more in-line I gotta go look. (I'll kick myself in the butt if I find it)

Thx guys, I never gave that switch a 2nd thought, just ran on by. then it took all of 2 sec's to find what it did. Climbed on top laughed my ass off and continued on my merry way. Sometimes it's that one little thing you missed that set's up the A-HA moment and it starts to fall into place.
