the radios and the phonographs
seven recordings hidden around the factory. they are where the story of the whole mode actually gets told, and none of them give you anything.

difficulty and time are an estimate made while writing, not a measurement.
the shape of this one
before you start
- most of the map openthey are spread over the spawn room, all three teleporters and the room above the ovens, so this is a full lap
- nothing elseno order, no timer, nothing to build, and none of them affect the game. hold use and listen
the steps
in the underground passage leading off teleporter room Z-C, behind the mystery box. a small hand-held radio.
Maxis dictating a letter to the Reichstag, complaining about funding.
in the room you start in, beside a barrel on the right hand side of the stairs going down. a smaller hand-held radio.
this is the one where Maxis is shouting "stand up" at something that groans back.
across from where the
M1897 Trench Gunis bought, outside teleporter Z-A, above a door to the right of the mystery box. look up.Maxis and his daughter, talking about a dog.
go into room Z-B near the bridge, find the left tank, the one with feet, look down at the ladder, crouch, and hold use.
this is the only one of the seven you have to get low for.
you only get this wrong oncestanding up and looking at the ladder does not do it. the prompt is a crouch away, which is why this is the one people finish the map without ever hearing.
on a shelf at the stairs in the Z-C teleporter room, behind where the mystery box first sits. a larger black one rather than a handheld.
test number three, with Richtofen answering "yes, doctor".
on a filing cabinet that has fallen over, in the room above the main cremation oven.
the dog one. this is where the hellhounds come from.
inside an empty furnace under teleporter Z-A, on the right hand side of the ground floor as you look at the teleporter from the doorway.
test number six, and the last of the seven.
tipthe map has a fifth handheld radio in its files, but it can only be played in the old iPod version by knifing the air conditioning unit in front of
Double Tap Root Beer. it is not reachable here.
these can be done in any order
these can be done in any order
arrow keys or j and k to move, d to tick this one off.
all of it, done.
