The chief engineer explains that the first step in shutting down the
overheating nuclear reactor is to disable the circuit breakers. He opens the
blue door to your right and stays in contact with you via the intercom.
In the next room, pass by the mangled door marked with the sign that says
“Turbines” and circle around to the descending staircase. Enter the door that says
“Exchange Room.” Turn left and wade through the water to the room’s northern
section. A platform in the corner above the water holds the circuit breaker box. Look
for the flashing red light and access the box to turn it off.

Retrace your steps down the stairs

The Shotgun makes for an effective
weapon in the map’s close
confines. Frags can catch multiple
foes in a corridor, except they pose
a danger if a rebound drops it too
close to you. While the Precision
Rifle can cause a huge commotion

ship’s interior, so you’re better off with the SMG, or if you can nab it, the
Minigun. The Minigun in a packed corridor can spell multiple kills easily.
