Secret Mission

**Secret Missions** are a set of missions that exist within the Main Campaign. They are not encountered through the normal flow of levels. Instead, they can only be accessed through hidden "gateways" in specific levels in the Main Campaign. Unlike the normal red banner that appears at the start of a normal mission and in the dashboard, secret missions exhibit a yellow banner, and a different entry fanfare.

## Properties

The Main Campaign features 10 secret missions. These missions can only be accessed through hidden gateways. The entry banner is yellow instead of red, and reads "SECRET MISSION (mission number of the normal mission).

Secret Missions have some different properties to normal missions. Perhaps most notably, the player only has one attempt at these missions per game. If the player dies during the secret mission, they are sent back to the corresponding normal mission, and the access gate will no longer work. Entry to secret missions cannot be regained unless the game is restarted.

Secret Missions are double medal zones. This means the player earns double the Medals per kill as they would in a normal mission. Not only that, collecting Medallions within secret missions will give double the value, for example the Silver Medallion, worth 10 medals, would give 20 in a secret mission.

If the player beats a secret mission, they are rewarded with two bonus lives. This means accessing and completing secret missions is a very good strategy to reach higher levels with more lives, especially if multiple secret missions are completed in one run.

Secret Missions have some exclusive features. The Zebra Tank is exclusive to Secret Missions, appearing in 9 of the 10 secret missions. The Reinforced Crate is also associated with Secret Missions, appearing in 7 of the 10 secret missions. However, there is one mission within the Main Campaign that features this crate.

### Magnet Unlockable

If the player is able to complete all 10 secret missions in one run, they will be taken to a screen informing them that they have unlocked a secret Magnet unlockable, as well as earning 1000 medals. This is in fact a hidden permanent upgrade that can be toggled on and off using a now-revealed new button located within the Arsenal. This unlockable will attract all power-ups - even enemy power-ups and medallions towards the player, over walls, from any distance.

## Entrances

**Secret Mission 1** - Head to the top-left corner of the screen and lay a mine. Blow the mine up. You will notice some Wooden Crates have been destroyed through sounds and particles indicating this. Head through the new, invisible opening in the top-left corner, the two top-most wall blocks on the left wall, and you will be taken to the secret mission.

**Secret Mission 20** - Head to the bottom-right corner that is accessible in this mission. Blow up the crates, and go through the outer walls.

**Secret Mission 29** - Go right to the end of the "spiral" of this level, where the Cyan Tank started out, and touch the inside of the wall to be immediately transported.

**Secret Mission 42** - Go to the top-right of the screen and go through the two top-most outer perimeter walls on the right wall.

**Secret Mission 52** - Blow up almost all the wooden crates in this mission. For ease of access, spare the yellow and teal tanks in their compartment, and avoid freeing them. Blow up as many crates as you can. Eventually, near the top-right corner, near where the top-right Lime Tank resides, a Chest will appear. Shooting this chest will reveal what appears to be a power-up, but depicting a black skull. Collecting this "power-up" will transport you to the secret mission.

**Secret Mission 59** - Go to the bottom-right of the level, past where the Jammer is. Go through the bottom-most two wall blocks of the right wall.

**Secret Mission 67** - Go to the fifth and final dividing wall of this mission, which contains the Olive Tanks. The middle Metal Crate in the top set is slightly misaligned. Go through this crate, as it is in fact a fake crate.

**Secret Mission 72** - Go to the bottom-right of the level, where the biggest Pit in the mission is. It is in fact a fake pit, and you can walk over it. Walk to the centre of the pit, where your tank will appear to literally fall down the pit into the secret mission.

**Secret Mission 84** - Shoot a bullet along where the Sandbags are. Your bullet will actually pass through them. If done right, the bullet will hit a red "button" on the far right wall, taking you to the secret mission.

**Secret Mission 93** - The Orange Tank at the start of the mission that is held in by a pit - go to that region. The pit is a fake pit. Go to where the Orange Tank was to be taken to the secret mission.
