The Main Gate is the guarded entrance into the Strogg Jail Unit. There are numerous security sensors, alarm switches, laser traps, and a heavy rocket emplacement to thwart potential intruders. Some of the troops lie in ambush within hidden wall compartments. This level marks the first encounter with the Gladiator.

Beneath the high-tech complex lies a series of damp tunnels, which provide an alternate route through the Strogg defences.

Secrets

• #1) Dive into the water in the first area and you will see a small hallway with Health Packs and a Rebreather, along with an elevator that will take you back up to the starting room.
• #2) Inside the room with the Alarm Switch that the Enforcer will activate, walk a bit forward into the room and a portion of elevated wall to your right will explode, revealing a pair of Flyers. Jump onto the computer servers to be able to jump into this alcove to get a suit of Jacket Armor. Note: the Flyers will only emerge if the alarm has been activated, so if you killed the Enforcer before he could press the button, you will need to press it yourself to achieve this secret. On the easier difficulty levels, there are no Flyers here but the secret is still accessible.

Trivia

If you swim under the water in this level (and only this level) the sound effect of Duke Nukem 3D's Scuba Gear item will be played. That sound is low, but if you dive while there is no music it can be heard.
