Maybe this is nothing new and you all have seen these before, but this is a new one to me - 4 beakers up high in the facility vents in the facility mission?



What I find odd about these is that there is no clipping up that high, so to get those beakers to stay up there in-game, they have their in-air flag activated, unlike all the other beakers in the game.

They are the last glass items in the setup file. Any ideas as to why they're there?

Wow i never seen that before. but i wonder y its up thar.

I've known about this for quite a few years, but really can't say why they're up there. Maybe just some interesting easter egg. If you don't look up in that back hallway, you won't even notice the venting system continuing throughout the building. Perhaps they put them there as a sort of reward for those investigative gamers who like to check everything out?

It's just Rare being Rare, the cheeky chaps!

I remember, in 1997/98 I think, a N64 magazine in the UK printed a cheat to activate the All Bonds if you shot the beakers down.

I admit that I did try it back then - only to realise that it was an April fools joke!

Rare should have made SOMETHING cool happen if you shot all 4 down, even if it was just some kind of funny text display.

Wow, I knew about those beakers for a long time...
Maybe they were going to have something unlock if you shot them, but possibly they have forgotten.

Maybe the falling glass shards would get in your eyes, unlocking a blurred vision mode!!1!?

I doubt that it was ever intended for anything useful, and was just some fun bit thrown in by someone working on the setup, possibly to highlight the vents. The modeller may have thought, "Jeez, nobody is going to even notice these. It's such a good little detail, too". So the person doing the setup snuck some beakers up there, hoping that any explosions in the area will burst them, playing the sound effect of broken glass, and making the player wonder where the heck it came from. Maybeez?
