The Elevator
After dealing with the initial Soldat encounters and activating the main gate, your path forward will lead you to a large, industrial elevator. This elevator is crucial for ascending to the upper levels of the Factory and progressing through Heisenberg's domain. However, it won't be as simple as pressing a button.
Upon reaching the elevator shaft, you'll notice that the lift itself is currently out of commission. Your immediate task is to locate the necessary components to restore power and functionality. Keep an eye out for flickering lights or sparking wires, as these often indicate areas of interest or puzzle elements. Be prepared for potential ambushes as you search for the elevator's missing parts; the Factory is never truly safe.
Once the elevator is operational, prepare for a brief but tense ride upwards. This ascent often serves as a transition point, sometimes triggering new enemy spawns or environmental hazards upon arrival at the next floor. Always have your weapon ready as the doors open.
