Area 51 - Cheats, Secrets, Tips & Tricks

Best and Worst Endings
For the best ending, shoot off all the panels on the Mothership.

For the worst ending, let the Mothership escape without hitting any panels.

Kronn Hunter Mode
At the beginning of the game, ONLY shoot the first three STAAR team members you see. If you did this right you’ll enter Kronn Hunter mode.

In this mode, you are a mercenary from the Kronn hierarchy sent to steralize Area 51 of the Kronn rebels. You will notice that the grenades, bullets, shotgun shells, and machine gun bullets have all taken on a Kronn form. You will also gain 20,000 extra points whenever your score is tallied, and you can shoot STAAR team members with impunity.

Secret Rooms
It seems only fitting that a secret base contains secret rooms. Here’s how to find them:

  • Level 2: Shoot out all of the upper windows of the far back wall in the Hangar. Another can be found by shooting all the #DCDC00 barrels when you are the forklift.
  • Level 4: Shoot every #DCDC00 box while you’re riding on the STAAR jeep.
  • Level 5: Shoot the doorplate of the second door marked General Weatherby as the door is opening.
  • Level 7: Shoot all the #DCDC00 barrels at the first area where the four purple zombies are throwing barrels on the hill.

After the guys drop from the ceiling, you will come to a part where the floor raises up. There are many explosive boxes and barrels sitting around. Shoot all 24 and enter a secret room called “Get a Life.” You get one free life and a chance to get your streak up to 100. Shoot at all times, even if the giant alien is not on the screen.
