Map Secrets Part 1: A-Boowalk_2018

To provide a single and complete guide of secrets, I have included all nmo maps from previous secrets guides, credited the original authors and linked their works. I have removed references to deleted guides

For better loading and scrolling, guide parts increased from 4 to 8. Letter b nmo maps are broken into 2 guide parts. All guide parts have a links section that has the previous and/or next part

If you like this guide, give it an upvote (thumbs up) above. Add it your favorites and it's easier to find in the guides section

For this opening secret to work, you need to spawn in the middle area at start and activate the secret before you leave the area



Press e on the left rune (it will sink in), and then the right one. Then the runes behind you will sink in revealing a crystal and a few supplies

Break the crystal for a custom trail

The other secret here will only appear if the street area is blocked to the left side




Go through the tunnel and then break the glass on this building and jump up to the chainsaw and fuel. If the street opened to the left side, you can come here but the glass will be unbreakable and there will be no items

Not exactly a secret, but 2012 is not broken. Due to the lack of translation, many players cannot get the street event to start

Gather the full team inside the building. You will need all players, meaning you will need to get nmrih players to listen - easier with some teams than others. The objective will change once everyone is inside

Then leave the building and hold e on the woodpile near the weapon box

Now return to the building and gather the team there again. The doors will close when everyone gets inside


Hold e on the doors to place the wood from the woodpile. Now survive the event

Developer rooms

These 2 dark rooms can be found by noclipping back from the starting area. They are totally dark and best seen against the brighter map. No buttons here, just clip into the rooms to move stages.

After you leave the elevator, do not get back in - this can re-populate the zombies on this level. The trigger that spawns the zombies can be hit more than once and can crash the map. All of the doors on this level can be opened

Broken respawn room




The door just to the right of the elevator can be shot open by using a firearm with bullet penetration such as a .357 or .308. The door will open if you hit either board

Make sure to open the medicine cabinet in the bathroom for more medical supplies

Crank


Just opposite the elevator, you will find a metal door that can be broken by any weapon

Complete the parkour and there is a fully fueled abrasive saw at the end


The radio at the starting area will play music for awhile before cutting out



You will find another boarded door while looking for the blue key


Shoot the board with the sniper for a small room with a good item stash

The v2a6 update has a new secret:


Before going down to the sewers, backtrack with the welder to the other alley and cut the metal shutter for a secret room


That has lots of supplies to survive the sewers

Use the battery for an extra medbox

After you have survived the 3 waves and the door has opened, bring the battery from the starting area


Jump up and drop the battery into the large column just past the door


A vent to your left will break and the medbox will fly out


You can place this medbox near the end of the map in the area where the zombies break out during the holdout

Respawn room



If no one respawns inside the room, you can break the rock to loot it. There are melee, a firearm, ammo, meds, and a weapon box. However, if you do open this room the barrels near it will explode and an endless zombie spawn will open

Music machete

Found at start


Look up and press e to use. Unlike other custom music that typically plays over the game's normal music, the music machete here replaces it. Turn up your game music through the options menu to hear the music

Grenades

You will need to use explosives to knock down equipment. There is a supply of grenades at start

There is one more grenade under the first ledge, but after that there is only what you can scavenge from the zombies


Throw the grenades nearly straight up on the normal ledges to knock equipment down. There are 4 more machetes on the first ledge

Medkits

Medkits are on the edge of the ledges. You can use grenades to knock them down. You may want to do that with the first one as it also has 4 shots next to it. But you can also shoot kits down

Don't try to do this from the front, you will just knock the medkit to the middle of the ledge

Go past the medkit then turn around to shoot it




You can also get easy shots on later medkits from the early high ledge

2 Chainsaws





On top of the large pillar at both turns is a chainsaw. You will need to use grenades to knock them down. Throw the grenade a bit to the left to avoid knocking the saw down into the abyss

At start, look for a machete underwater. Facing the dungeon, it's just under the second to last boat to the right




At the spinning blades trap, once any member of the team has gone through the trap and crossed into the next room part of the wall before the trap will collapse revealing a dead body with a medkit

The machete is still there, but the spinning blades medpack secret from v3 has been replaced in v11


You need a full team and the whole team needs to vote for Hard on the boats


Just past the first objective, if you look into the spike pit you will notice a glowing yellow ball


Jump into this ball and you will be teleported to a small room with an altar that has a chainsaw and a zombie girl petting Maxwell the cat

Leave through the door and you will be teleported above the water at the start

There is a secret area in the vents

1337


At this respawn/resupply area, climb up the shelf supports to reach the items on top

Hang on to the welder as there are 4 weapon lockers to open with it, including one in the room where it is found

Look for another weapon locker outside

You can take the coffee pot from the underground area with you for a secret later


Near where you put out the fire (hang on to the extinguisher), break open a door for a secret area

There is another weapon locker in the sewer for the welder to open

And the last one is in the north wing

In the last hall after the arena, hold e on the middle door on the right

You can place the coffee pot here and a hand will grab it. Using the coffee pot will reduce the holdout time in the final area


In the final area, use the extinguisher for a secret room with a chainsaw and fuel

Boss zombie

At the start, bring the stuffed giraffe through the map with you. It is very fragile like a bottle - hitting or dropping it will break it. Keep the welder from the first objective as well


Place the giraffe between the two stuffed bears

This will summon a boss zombie

The boss will drop a weapon box (bag) after it is killed

Traps and shutter

Don't step on the fallen bear in this area, or its squeak will draw a group of runners that will break out of a nearby shutter


Just past the boss area, use the welder on a shutter for another weapon box

Don't shoot or touch this car outside or the alarm will go off and summon runners

Sniper stash



If you go down the street from where the ladder is placed. You can break the fence and go up the ladder behind for a sniper stash

You can only reach this area after the ladder has been placed. Placing the one in the objective will place another ladder here

Pharmacy

At the gun store, take the fire extinguisher with you


You can use the extinguisher to put out the fire in front of the pharmacy. The fire does not always render

The pharmacy has a few med items and a firearm

A door in the starting area won't open because it is blocked by a board on the other side


Use a .357, .308 or molotov to break the board for a weapon box

You can bring the melon at start with you


Press e on the green soda machine and a seagull will appear. Bring him through the map with you


At the respawn, break the wall next to the weapon box for another weapon box


Just before leaving the underground, weld a shutter for another weapon box


As you bring the seagull up the steps to the outside, he will fly away

You will be rewarded with a hovercraft for freeing the seagull

Climb in and press e and wait for your hands to disappear. Lmb will lift the craft and wasd will steer. Don't jump out up high


If you brought the melon you can place it in the restaurant. It does not do anything however


You can reach the sniper stash, but will need to place the ladder first. In anxiety classic, the ladder can place in either spot and a ladder will be placed in both spots

You will find a blue key on the slide in the playground. Bring it with you


Weld the back door of the gun store to access a weapon box in the alley behind the store


Use the blue key just before you reach the hospital for another weapon box



In the parking lot of the hospital, you can jump on top of the dumpster and then through the windows for an easter egg and a random item or two

Developer room

Just above the starting area. You will need to noclip here


There are several buttons here but only one works


The button for the ep2 laser challenge works to allow players to practice

Secret healing machete


You can jump into this extra cherry tree on the 3rd stage (ep2). Jump from the corner on the 2f, it is very difficult in single jump

You will be teleported back to the start of that area, just as you will be if you fall, but you will get the message: Something change...?

A green square machete will appear later in the stage

Look up and press e to use. It will heal you and nearby players 80-90 hp over 6 seconds and will make players have a new max hp of 160, which is heal-able

60 second recharge. When the green square returns, the ability can be used again

Health items during laser event

No fall damage, 150 hp base

Start with 150 hp and it is heal-able

Alternate stage 3's

When you get to the end of stage 2, 2 events may happen. If you get a zombie horde, only the door on the top will open. If you need to destroy the crystal, 2 doors will open and you can choose your stage 3


If you drop down and go through the door you passed earlier, you will extract to stage 2-f


If you stay up top, the entryway there will open and you will extract to stage 2-t

Each alternate stage 3 has its own boss fight and is followed by its own survival stage


Stage 2-f is gray

It is followed by survival stage Ex


Stage 2-t is green and has a stronger boss

It is followed by the survival stage Ex*

You can switch to the other alternate stages after completing the survival stage

After completing stage Ex once, or Ex* twice, you will be brought to this room. You can change to 2-f, 2-t, or Ex. So you can play all 6 stages in a single run

Developer room

To the left of the starting area. You will need to noclip here

There are 7 buttons against one of the walls. Use these buttons to change stages. Press the button of the stage you want and then the End button to go there (or restart the map)

There is a flashlight and another button against the opposite wall

You can take the ladder down to another small area with a body, a glock and a medkit. Get back onto the elevator again before it gets too low

Rat 5



Rat 5 is well hidden and dangerous to get. It is underwater in the flooded basement. Zombies in the water can attack you, but unless you were fortunate enough to get a chainsaw in the weapon box, you cannot attack them back. Get the rat while the lights are still on and get a flashlight from the respawn room if you don't have one


There are 2 pipes underwater, use your flashlight to find a hole in the farther one about midway

Get some air, return to the spot, poke your head through the hole and hold e to pick up the rat

Don't break all 8 bottles or the room will explode and kill anyone inside. You will get a -_- message

Put the soldier out of his misery

There are 2 soldiers outside being attacked. A message above the one farther from the bunker will say "put the soldier out of his misery"

You can shoot the zombies or the soldier, but he is already done for. If you shoot one group the other will die as well. Just an Easter egg

You can board up

There are several random items out in the darkness, but there is always a hammer and 2 boards on the top of the small building outside

The entrance to the small building can be boarded up (you would need more boards from the bunker to do this fully)

There is another nearby right next to the platform to drop down . Leave it for now as well

Bring both of these rubies up on the platform with you after you have used the wrench

There is a third ruby above


Before using the panel, use the three rubies to build barricades on the three yellow and black areas. These barricades will give you more time to escape the zombies into the factory

Use the rubies at the end to build lures


Use the code 2226 from the secret room to open the safe at the ending area. There are 4 rubies inside





Place these 4 rubies on the 4 yellow and black areas on the roof. They will build structures that the zombies will be drawn away to attack

2 buttons in the starting area

There is a green and a purple button at start

Punch the ruby to break it and summon the scarecrow. The scarecrow will lure zombies who will attack it. The zombies will eventually break it

The next ruby you will find is in the main hall near the end. It is in the corner of the room you place the med box in

This ruby creates a mine. Use it just like the scarecrow: hold 1 and drop the mine with rmb, then punch the ruby to break it



The mine looks like a large molotov. Nearby zombies will attack it for a few seconds until it explodes. It will burn the area for a few seconds after

The last ruby you will find is on a ledge in the main hall

This ruby creates a theraputic drone. Use it just like the others

The drone will heal you over time back to 100hp. The drone will disappear in about 20 seconds

Fal secret

When starting the room with the spiked ceiling, look to the right to see platforms leading down to a tiny ledge on the wall

Press this button for a secret corridor

The room at the end has a fal, ammo, and a med item. Use the switch in the room to get out

Eye offering secret

Head to the little room at the blow dart trap area

Taking a third bottle of Blue, Red, or Green will only have minor side effects


Cans heal between 1-25 hp
Damaged Cans heal between 1-25 hp, and may have no side effects or one of a variety: may blind player with white light for a few seconds, may cause bleeding, may cause infection, may cause full health, may cause disorientation
Object 16 will heal 20, but unlike Water or Cans, it can increase hp over 100


This effect does stack if you find and use more than one

Red dream practice mode

There is a practice mode for the red bhop ending of this map. Enable developer console, create your own server and enter the commands sv_cheats 1 and noclip

There is a small room just behind the starting area

Noclip over and press the button inside

The next text will tell you to gather (Need all players to gather). Just noclip to where the arrow points. You may or may not be teleported there

Turn off your noclip in the console so you can practice this nightmare

At the end of practice you will be returned to the starting area. This really isn't a secret, you won't benefit in any way other than practice

Bring the welder from the start to open this shed, and be sure to check behind the door


Near the end of the barn turn left and you will see a barely visible ladder

Take this ladder up and walk around the top of the barn for a CZ

The b1 upgrade is still a linear loop, but the map may now start from either side of the loop - so these secrets may be found in reverse order. Also, you will find 2 med boxes on this map but only one can be placed at the halfway farm house, as the other one is for the alternate path

Weapons in rafters

The first room in the lodge that can be entered has a med box and bow in the rafters

Jump onto the table and then jump onto the bunk bed behind it

Then jump up and grab the bow on your way down

The next room has a flare gun in the rafters

Jump up the sink and fridge

From the top of the fridge, jump across and grab the flare gun on the way down

Shed

Use the welder from start on the shed as in previous version. Check behind the door

CZ in barn

Jump up these to get to the barn's top floor

Then circle around to get the CZ

Break room - Survivor Easter Egg


In the break room, knock in all the pool balls to discover a guy behind the bookcase

If interacted with, he will run around the room and cry for help. He can be killed

Break room - Locker


Open the green locker in the break room for a shotgun and shells

Break room - Body Armor

There are two vests of body armor that can be taken

The vest does not heal you but it will reduce the damage you take by 1/2 or more - an 8hp damage zombie child strike will only do 4hp, a 15hp zombie adult strike will only do 7hp (game rounds down)

The vest will also reduce the damage taken when bleeding. You will still be slowed, but the 1hp/second drain on health will not happen

This damage reduction effect does not stack, but each vest will only reduce between 55-60hp before it stops working, and this effect does stack - taking two will reduce 110-120hp (you will need to heal yourself, but the vest will continue to reduce damage). Leave the other vest for a teammate if you have one but take both if solo

Bubble wrap


Found in the RV at start. It appears as a star in your inventory. Press lmb on the star to pop the bubbles. Just an Easter egg

Gas can and refueling events

You will need to bring one of the gas cans with you throughout the map. Do not bring the other one, only one is needed and there are many other items to carry

There are 2 ways to bring the can, it can be carried like any other item


But it can also be equipped. It will take up nearly all of your inventory, but it can be used as a melee weapon

The gas can will need to be equipped for the three refueling events. With the can equipped, just walk up to the gas can that says to siphon there


This will start a mini event. Press a and d to move the can until all the gas is siphoned. You will be vulnerable during these events, so press rmb if you need to quickly exit

Alternate paths
This map is a loop with a farmhouse at the halfway point. The map will randomly start at one of the 2 sides of the loop. On the way to the farmhouse, you will pass through and refuel the gas can at either the cabins area or the underground area. Each path will have it's own set of lockpicks, an extra box of M60 ammo for the turret at the farmhouse, a fema reinforcement box, and a med box to place at the farmhouse

Cabins path - items in rafters


Grab the med box by jumping on the table and then jumping on top of the bed to the right. You can grab the box by pressing e from there

Grab the bow by jumping on the table and then the bed behind it. It's behind where the med box was. Work your way to the edge of the corner then jump up and grab the bow as you fall


Grab the flare gun by jumping up onto the sink and then fridge, jump across and grab the flare gun as you fall

Underground path

On this path, head forward after reaching the underground area and you will find an area with friendly humans

In the lockers here you will find a police vest with a set of lockpicks

And another police vest with M60 ammo

Police vests must be equipped in inventory to be used. Hold 1 to open your inventory and press lmb on it to equip the vest. Police vests reduce damage taken by 1/2 up to a certain limit, and this limit can be extended by using more than one vest. Share the vests with your team, but equip both if solo


There are other supplies here too. Be sure to open the small green locker for another shotgun and shells

Lockpicks
You will find 2 sets of lockpicks - 1 for each path. The lockpicks are used to open the shed near the cornfield

On the cabins path, the lockpick is on the table just below the med box

On the underground path, the lockpicks are in the friendly area, under a police vest

The lockpicks will appear as a key lock in your inventory


With the lockpick in inventory, just press e on the lock of the shed to be taken to an event screen similar to the gas refueling event. Align the lockpick and press lmb to open the lock. Just like refueling, you will be completely vulnerable during this so press rmb if you need to quickly exit



The shed has several items and the cabinet is a weapon box

After opening the shed, you will need to discard the lockpicks. Press rmb on them in inventory to drop

You will also find a grenade near a body behind the shed

M60 ammo
You will find an extra box of M60 ammo on either path

On the cabins path, the M60 ammo box will be on the table next to the sink

On the underground path, the M60 ammo box will be under a police vest


There are 3 more boxes of M60 ammo in the farmhouse

Load the M60 by either pressing rmb on the ammo box in your inventory when the turret is empty

Or if your inventory cannot hold the ammo box, pick it up and push it into the empty turret

You can have more than one ammo box in your inventory, and you can carry all 4

Fema reinforcement boxes
You will find a box on either path. Each can be used for 3 duffel bags. Each bag will add +25% to the farmhouse during the siege just like in survival


On the cabins path, the box is in the outside area near the weapon box



On the underground area path, the box is in the underground area just across from the med box

Farmhouse area


Climb the wire spool and the cabinet to reach the 2f of the barn for a CZ


In the living room of the farmhouse break the cabinet for a gene therapy behind it

Playable piano. Just an Easter egg

Farmhouse defense

Make sure to prepare before using the radio at the farmhouse

Board up doorways and windows

Use the ammo pile by holding a gun over it and pressing e. Try to get ammo for the best guns

Bring fema reinforcement bags up to the roof. Use the bags by putting them through the windows after the event starts

Be ready for a tough defense! If the zombies push you back to the roof, the M60 can turn 360 degrees

Board up the garage before getting the welder



Use the welder to open a box of supplies just outside the house


In the garage where you find the welder, you can find a flash drive behind the toolbox

Use the drive on the error keypad and the door next to it will blow off

This secret room has a gene, and over 100+ pills and bandages. Now you have enough for the many, many times you will die here

You can use the fire extinguisher a 2nd time for a secret area in the ice tunnels

You can use the welder a 2nd time for a secret room in the pins area


When you start the pins area, throw the switch that's off the middle corridor

The switch opens this green door

Inside this room are items and a key

The key opens the door that has two arrows pointing to it

Much different map before it was voltroned into nmo_base_v2_2



Take the access card from the first room and unlock the first armory. Take the scoped rifle and ammo

Use the code 0501 to unlock the second armory


Shoot the 4 close targets in the red circle, each will give a perfect!!!!! message, all 4 will give an award! message

The award is a medkit that will spawn

Use the scoped rifle to shoot the red circles in the far targets, each will give a perfect!!!!! message, all 3 will give an award! message

The award is a gene that spawns next to the medkit

Finally, shoot 4 bottles on the upper area

The award is 2 boxes of .308


In this area, use the barricade hammer and boards to build defensive barricades to protect you during the long door timer

Pick up the bright yellow key from the body

Use it to open the armory later



At this spot, press e to slide back the gate then hold e on the doors to access a secret area

Instead of taking the last ladder in the air shaft, drop down to a body with a duffel bag. The bag is a weapon box

Turn around from the body and crouch and press e on the rope to drop it

The rope will take you to the bottom of the air shaft


If no one respawns in the respawn room opposite the fire extinguisher, it can be shot open with a .308 or .357 and looted

Shoot in the center of the door to break the metal X behind


Where you use the ID card, notice a locked door with a yellow marker

After ending the lockdown by placing the arm, you can return and open this door for a stash of supplies


Feel free to drop the first fire extinguisher after the objective, there is a second one much closer to the 2nd fire

Use either fire extinguisher for a secret area in the ice tunnels


Likewise, feel free to drop the welder after using it in the objective, there is a much closer one in a supply room nearby the 2nd welder spot

Use the welder to open a large armory in the area where you search for the pins


Just down from the supply room with the welder is another respawn room that can be shot open if no one spawns there

Break the board that is even with the handle


In the area next to where you place the pins, press e on the panel that's off the middle corridor

The panel opens this green door

Inside this room are items and a key

The key opens the door that has two arrows pointing to it

This room has a good stash of items and also a placed health box


In the cafeteria, look for an access card between 2 vending machines

Use this card to unlock an armory in the rooms opposite the shooting range



At the shooting range, use a scoped rifle to headshot the targets at the back

You will hear a noise after each successful shot, the third shot will give you an award message

The award will be a medical item that appears at the nearby table



Take the red toolbox at the shooting range and use it to fix the sparking fuse box on the warehouse 2f

Now use the nearby elevator button to lower a weapon box


Take the yellow key at the end of the warehouse, make sure to get it out of the warehouse as you will be locked out of this area

The key is used near the end of the map, just before you drop down


The room has a good stash of weapons and a placed health box


The final area also has a respawn room that can be shot open if no one spawns inside

Shoot between the handle and the dots to break the board

When you reach the 2f, break the wall at the end of the first right opening. You will find a weapon box, machete, flare gun, and 2 pills


There are 2 more machetes nearby. You will be teleported before you can pick them up, but you can use a well placed explosive to push them into reach


The respawn room will also open when you reach the 2f. There is a weapon box for players who spawn there



If you spectate this map on the 2f farther down, you'll see a character model with a large turd for a head. Just an Easter egg

Developer room

There is a developer room on this map, but it can only be reached by no clipping to it. It is high above the first stage

This room was meant to be accessed by the Patreon signs at the start of each stage, but these signs no longer work


The room has a developer side and player side

None of the buttons on the player side do anything

The kill all players and reset map buttons still work, but the health buff does not

The stage select still works. Press e on the stage number and then press e on the yellow button to the right. Use this room if you are playing by yourself or with friends and want to skip forward on this very long map

Bouncy Castle



There are 6 pieces to the Bouncy Castle, jump through them to pick them up



Climb up the ropes on both sides to pick up the other 3 peices


Each piece will add to the construction, when all pieces are picked up the castle is complete


Bouncing on the castle will destroy all of the nearby gravestones

Developer room

Just below the starting area. You will need to noclip here. It is the smaller of the black rooms

The room has a black button and a white one. The black button will return you to the start of the map. The white button will take you to the boss fight

Hidden items at start


Be sure to check behind the 2 fallen objects at the starting area. You will find melee weapons and may find a machete and shot

How to survive the ending

After the boss fight, you will be teleported to the final area

The map does not tell you this but you need to reach the platform at the end of this area before it raises in about 1 minute. There is a swarm of zombies. If the zombies slow you down or if you stop to engage them, you will not make it to the platform in time. Players who are not on the platform when it raises are then outside of the playable area - and will die

After the platform has raised, there is a short laser event before extraction

After throwing the switch downstairs and opening the electronic locks, go to the opened morgue first

Pick up the key in the corner of the morgue

Use the key on the card reader to open a secret room for a weapon box

First courtyard sniper stash

Break a window in the blue hall that leads to the big hall to get into the first courtyard


Climb the pole to the top and get out on the ledge and you can jump over

As you walk along the ledge here, you will run out of room and be dropped down halfway. You will need to jump over about 1/4 of the way while you still have space. Push right as you jump

Its not an easy jump, and its a fair amount of damage if you fall, but you can make it to the sniper stash in single jump


A radio in a dark 2f office above the big hall will play music

Second courtyard weapon box




Just behind the big hall, break the windows on either the first or second floor to reach the second courtyard


The lockers in the courtyard is a weapon box

Leave the courtyard from the first floor or climb either pipe to reach the second floor

Cat in vent

When passing through the next vent, look left to see the cat and hear a short message. It's just an Easter egg

Giraffe

The giraffe is behind some pipes just after you drop down

Don't carry the giraffe through the whole map, leave him at the entrance to the helipad. Grab him again on the way to the helipad

Security office lockers


Open all the lockers in the security office for 2 police vests, several firearms, and ammo. Police vests must be equipped in inventory to be used. Hold 1 to open your inventory and press lmb on it to equip the vest. Police vests reduce damage taken by 1/2 up to a certain limit, and this limit can be extended by using more than one vest. Share the vests with your team, but equip both if solo

Courtyard 2 and sticky vent


Break the windows opposite the helipad entrance to access courtyard 2


The box in the courtyard will be about half full with random supplies

There is also tnt between the pipes

If you press e on the question mark, the message "ew, this vent is sticky" will appear


The vent can be opened by throwing the tnt onto the front of the vent. It will stick there and blow the vent open. Grenades will not work. A chainsaw is inside

Welsh dragon


Use the key to unlock the Welsh dragon in the laboratory locker area. Bring him with you

Respawn room above courtyard 2



You can only reach this room after you have brought the vaccine from the lab. Before that, the windows to the respawn room cannot be broken (it's not activated yet). After the vaccine has been recovered, the windows can be broken and the room can be raided



The room has melee weapons, a few firearms and a partially full weapon bag


Break the grate above for a machete

Using the WD40


Use the WD40 on the valve on the roof to get it to turn faster. To use it, open your inventory when near the valve by holding 1, then press lmb on the WD40 in your inventory. You will hear a spraying sound and the inventory space around the canister will turn from red to empty. Press rmb on the canister to discard it once empty

Fire Canister


Bring the Welsh dragon to the helipad and place him on top of the red barrel to unlock the fire canister


The fire canister can be placed at either steel shutter door



Hold e on the canister to start the fire. It will burn for about a minute

Rooftop armory


Bring the giraffe up to the radio room and use it to unlock the armory


The armory has 2 more police vests, a half full weapon bag, a medical locker, and other supplies

Holdout

If you're solo or with a small team, you can just defend the radio room/armory until these doors in front of it shut. When these doors have shut the 2 steel shutters to the roof area have also shut. You can then take your time with blocking the last 2 entrances to the heliport

Giraffe and dragon escape

If the giraffe and the dragon have been placed, they will automatically be loaded onto the helicopter and will escape with you

When you reach the first snowmobile, search the rocks to the right to find another snowmobile behind them. A box near that snowmobile has a shotgun and shells



Break the board to open the fence near the crane for a stash of supplies in the container



Just after the crane, search behind the shack for a melee weapon. There is a fair chance that it is a machete




Break the grate behind the generator for a stash of supplies



There is a molotov behind Opa's grave (a character mentioned in an Easter egg on nmo_extra)

At the Baltic cafe, use the watermelon to unlock the nearby door then open it






Crouch under the shutter to an area with friendly soldiers and 3 accessible buildings with 2 weapon boxes, machetes, and med items

You can break the vent here

Stack the nearby boxes to get up and take the molotov

There is a picture here too

If you get the path behind the stores, you can break the wall for an item stash. Credit to Belgrieve for this



If you get the path through the stores, you can use my advanced trick to get the boards off the hammers in the hardware store. Equip a barricade hammer, hold 1 for inventory and press e to unload the board, then press rmb on the hammer in your inventory to drop it. You should keep the board but drop the hammer. This does not work if you try to press u then g




If you get the turret path instead of the under the boardwalk path, there are 3 boxes of ammo for the .50 caliber turret. One is by the Humvee, another is behind the turret and the third is on a table nearby. Use one in the turret and feel free to use 2. You can bring the extras to the other turret at the map's end



There are 2 Chainsaws near the bar


You will need the Fire Extinguisher in the bar for a later secret



You can also climb up the ladder and cross the planks above to a shotgun


Hold e to open the locker and get the blue key


Before using the blue key on the red door, backtrack with the key through the bar past the pool table and down the stairs where you can use it to open the do not drink Phil Collins room



In the radio holdout room, jump up and punch the plank to break it for an Sks. Credit to Belgrieve for this


Hold e to open the weapon locker here

And board up before starting the event

There is a hammer and 3 boards here, but if you used my trick in the hardware store you can board up all 3 doorways and have 4 extra boards as replacements


There is another weapon locker before placing the dynamite

And another just behind where the dynamite blows up

And another before the welder




Just past the first welder is a dark passage that leads to a room with many supplies and a .50 caliber that can be carried


Near where you find the welder, use it on the leaked oil from this lantern

This will cause an explosion that you can now put out with the Extinguisher

Then you can access the room behind that has a gene and medkit. Credit to Belgrieve for this


After using the gas can, there is a final locker just in front of the turret

Where the carryable .50 caliber can be placed

If you brought along the extra ammo from earlier, you may have quite a lot for the turret

14 endings

This short map has 14 different endings. The red text at the start will let you know what ending you will receive. There are 7 boss fight endings (ff/laser) - chaos, gabranth, genesis, 3 sephiroth versions, and zodiark. And there are 7 survival endings - Danmaku, Hsc, Project Codex, R_W_B, Rien, Super Run, and Tilex Laser. The Tilex Laser ending takes place at the same area as the boss fights. The other survival events have their own areas. The Super Run event will start automatically

Bahamut

The first door on this map may be blocked by the mini-boss Bahamut. He appears randomly and has 600hp

Developer area

Just to the right of the starting area. You will need to noclip here

This area has nine buttons

The five buttons not on a white stand will take you directly to the survival endings (left to right) Hsc, Danmaku, R_W_B (top), Rien (bottom), and Project Codex

Behind these buttons are 4 more on white stands. The 2 buttons on the left: pressing the button on the left will choose a random survival event to replace your current ending. Pressing the button on the right will start the Super Run event

There are 2 more buttons on white stands on the right

Pressing the button on the left will take you directly to the area before the boss fights. You can use this button to shortcut the map to your ending. If you selected a random survival event with the left side button in the other set, you will be taken to that event after pressing this button

Finally, pressing the button all the way on the right will summon a 500hp Bahamut

Boowalk is a Halloween re-skin of a previous version of the official boardwalk map. It has some of that map's secrets and a few of its own

Patched hole secret stash


If you get the alley path, break open the patched hole in the wall for a stash of supplies

Do not drink Phil Collins room

Get the blue key from the coffin in the courtyard after the bar


Before using the key in the objective, bring it back through the bar to the passage and it will open the locked door there

This room is inverted in boowalk

Hidden weapons in bar rafters



Climb up the tables and break the board or climb the stacked chairs (careful the top one will fall) to reach the rafters for a sledgehammer and possible firearm/ammo

Coffins on bridge

There are 3 coffins on the bridge that can be opened for supplies. They replace the weapon lockers. Just hold e to open. There is one after the party house

Another is available after using the tnt

And the last one is in the final area after using the fuel

Fright events


These are random events, such as the phone ringing, the TV coming on, screams, or a banging at a nearby door

Blood Bank fright event


In the official boardwalk map, this is a secret area opened by using the welder and extinguisher. In boowalk, this area is a random fright event. It will open by itself (rarely) - the lantern will spark as you come around the corner creating an explosion that will open the Blood Bank. You will usually get this fright event if you get the one with the TV coming on in the bar rafters. If you don't get this fright event, you cannot open this area


There is a medkit and shot inside the Blood Bank. This is the only fright event that has a reward

Gargoyles alternate extraction

There are 5 gargoyles that can be shot and one that cannot. Killing one will play a sound effect.
There is always a maglite in the kitchen of the bar that can make them easier to see

The first gargoyle is just above the .357 wall secret at the start


It is easy to shoot from the alley path but tough from the storefront path

The second gargoyle is on top of the chimney of the bar

It can be shot from the courtyard where you get the blue key

The third gargoyle is hard to see, it is on top of a bus that is visible behind the horde after the party has started

Clear the horde to make this long shot

The fourth gargoyle is off shore on top of a pile of rocks near the graveyard


The fifth gargoyle is on top of the bus in the water near the extraction



Each gargoyle shot lights another candle to open the portal. Once all 5 have been killed, the portal just needs a sacrifice

There is a sixth gargoyle on the ship but it is purely decoration. Save your ammo, it cannot be hit

The sacrifice is the smiley face bucket in the pool table room. It is right next to a chainsaw


After using the fuel, bring the bucket to the circle and place it there


This will open the portal. Walk into the circle for the alternate extraction
