Learn how cracks in Duke Nukem 3D walls lead to secret areas or new pathways, and which weapons can break them.

Cracks in a wall almost always signify either a secret area or a pathway onto a new area of the level. Any weapon with the Explosive quality can destroy a cracked surface, as well as explosive environmental sources and enemies that employ explosive weapons.

Once in a while you may run into the art for a crack in the wall, but when firing at it the surface will not explode. These cracks are for decoration only (however, they are fairly rare).

Tips
  • Look for cracks to discover secret areas or new routes.
  • Use explosive weapons or environmental hazards to break through cracks.
  • Be aware that some cracks are purely decorative and cannot be destroyed.
