Your guide to the Movie Set level in Duke Nukem Forever! Find all secrets, including the 3D Realms tribute and the dangerous boxes, plus walkthrough tips.

Alright, let's dive into the Movie Set, the fifth level of the Shrapnel City episode. It's a pretty wild one, with a lot of movie magic and some hidden goodies for you to find. ## Secret Exit Keep an eye out for a movie set that looks like a lunar landscape. You'll see a model of a space shuttle there. Go up to the "USA" sign and press it. Boom! The shuttle opens up, revealing a secret exit that'll take you to the Tier Drops level. Pretty neat, huh? ## Secrets This level's got some cool secrets tucked away. Let's find 'em: ### Secret 1: 3D Realms Tribute Right after you start and clear out the initial enemies, look for a dark grey wall where a helicopter crashed. Jump onto that wall, then onto a small shelf beneath a "Lunar Apocalypse" poster. Follow that shelf and jump into the "3D Realms" sign. You'll pop into a hidden room behind it. Inside, you'll find an Atomic Health. If you head up the ramp, you might find an Assault Trooper waiting. Also, if you go to the upper floor of this room, an Assault Commander will respawn outside, right where you can see them. In this secret area, you can also snag a Freezethrower and 2 ammo for the Devastator. ### Secret 2: Snack Machines Head into the subway's cashier booth and interact with the cashbox on your right. Now, jump out of the booth and sprint into the darker part of the subway entrance. One of the snack machines will have opened up, revealing a small space with two Atomic Healths. You gotta be quick though – there's a time limit before the vending machine closes the path again! ### Secret 3: Jumping into the Earth In the room with the fake spacecraft, where you'll find the red Access Card, just walk up to the wall in front of the spacecraft and jump. You'll find yourself inside a secret room that's part of the ventilation shaft. Here, you can grab a Shrinker and a Jetpack. To get out, you can fly upwards and open a hidden passage that leads into the rest of the ventilation shafts. ### Secret 4: Dangerous Boxes Once you're past the blue access card door and in the magazine room, find the tallest stack of boxes. Go up to them and interact. The highest boxes will become accessible, but watch out! There are 1-3 Sentry Drones hiding inside. After you deal with them, jump in and grab a Devastator weapon. If you want an easier time getting in, remember you can use the Jetpack you found in the previous secret. ## Map Here's the automap for the Movie Set level.

At the start, crouch-jump under the exit door. This lets you reach the regular exit much faster, skipping most of the level and enemies.
