Duke Nukem II is filled with items. Some reward points, others boost your strength, and some are vital to your success.
Boxes[]
They come in four colours: blue, red, green and grey. They cannot be collected, but shooting them opens them and reveals their contents. Blue boxes contain bonus prizes, red boxes contain Cola Cans or napalm bombs, green boxes contain weapons, and grey boxes contain either important items or nothing.
Important items[]
- Gives 500 points. Used to open doors.
- Gives 500 points. A computer circuit board-looking card. Used to deactivate electric barriers at the ends of some levels.
- Cloaking Device
- Gives 500 points. Temporarily makes Duke invincible, allowing him to move through certain forcefields. The device regenerates when it runs out.
