Navigate System Shock's Executive Level 6! Find key items, hack terminals, and learn how to jettison Beta Grove. Your expert guide to surviving the executive floor.

Alright, Executive Level 6! This place can seem a bit confusing with all its interconnected groves, but don't worry, we'll get you through it. The main objective here is to find some crucial gear and then tackle the Beta Grove jettison sequence. Most of the important stuff is tucked away in the southwest, so that's our general direction.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head Southeast to the Main Area: You'll start off, and the game tells you the important stuff is in the southwest. So, your first move is to head southeast to get to the main part of the level.
  2. 2
    Disabling the Force Field: As you explore, you'll notice a force field blocking a Camera in the entry area. To disable it, head to the southeast edge of this area. You'll find a screen there that shows the force field; right by it is the switch to turn it off.
  3. 3
    Preparing to Jettison Beta Grove: This is a multi-step process. First, you need to visit all three groves. In each grove, find and flip the "Jettison Enable" switch. Once you've done that for all three, make your way to the southwest part of the level. Here, you'll find the "Jettison Enable Master Control" switch. Flip it.
  4. 4
    The Burnt-Out Relay: After activating the Master Control, you'll be informed that a relay has burnt out. This means you need to backtrack. Head back to Level 3 and fix the relay.
  5. 5
    Finalizing Beta Grove Jettison: Once Level 3 is sorted, return to the Master Control in the southwest of Executive Level 6. Try the "Jettison Enable Master Control" again. It should work this time. Now, head back to the lobby of Beta Grove itself. Find and flip the "Beta Jettison" switch. Warning: If a whole bunch of nasty enemies show up when you flip this switch, you're doing it right! This is the intended consequence.

Items and Terminals:

  • Energy Charge Station: Keep an eye out for this; it's essential for keeping your energy topped up.
  • Cyberspace Terminal: You'll find one here. Accessing it can provide valuable information or allow you to manipulate systems. The terminal offers Decoy (ICE), Recall, Turbo Navigation Booster software (ICE), Games v2 (ICE) (Eel Zapper), and access to the Storage closet lock (by elevator to L7) and the Beta Grove elevator.
  • Executive Maintenance Crawlway Code: The code to access this area is 711.
  • Biological Systems Monitor v2: Located on the south edge by the Computer Nodes.
  • MM-76 Accelerator Rail Gun: Found to the west. A powerful weapon you'll want to grab.
  • Infrared Night Sight v1: You'll find this in the Delta grove lobby.
  • Target Identifier v3: Located in the northwest section of the level.
  • Cyborg Conversion: Found in the south-central area.
  • ADMinistration Access Card: This is located in the northeast. Essential for accessing certain areas.
Tips
  • Remember to explore thoroughly, especially the southwest, as that's where most of the critical items and objectives are located.
  • Don't forget to fix that relay on Level 3 after activating the Master Control for Beta Grove jettison. It's a common point of failure if you skip it.
  • The Beta Grove jettison sequence can be a tough fight, so make sure you're well-equipped and have plenty of ammo before flipping that final switch.
