Hidden Thunder Gun
At the start of Mission 7: Numbers, after the release of the Nova 6 Gas, enter the office in the back of the room. Location the tape recorder, and hold the [Action] button to pick it up. If done correctly, the screen will begin to shake.
Keep going through the level until you reach the part where you jump onto the mattress from the rooftop. Once Clarke is inside, he’ll move a fridge leading directly to the weapon stash. You need to watch him move the fridge before acquiring the Thunder Gun.
After you go inside the stash, proceed to the left to find another tape recorder. Pick it up with the [Action] button. The screen will shake once again, revealing the Thunder Gun on the wall. It starts with twelve shots and is powerful enough to make the rest of the level easier.
