Raw Meat 
Edit
A Japanese restaurant. The women in here seem to want to entertain you! Oh yes, and don't forget: "Booooorn to be Wiiiiiiild". The Pig Cops do not approve!
Bank Roll Edit
A bank and office. There are many laser trip bomb traps inside the bank which can easily kill you if you are not wary. The puzzle to get in the vault is easier if you only use the buttons behind the desk and stick to the right in the gears room. One or more Mini Battlelords can be present in the vault depending on the difficulty level, so be prepared for some heavy fighting.
Flood Zone Edit
Things get pretty damp in here. Someone's water main broke loose alright. Lots of underwater areas. Not much here folks.
Don't go on top of the buildings! Unless you want to fight Mini Battlelords and Commanders!
L.A. Rumble Edit
It's rumblin' time! This was 3D Realms jab against Id Software. The building that gets demolished by the earthquake is identical to the Id Headquarters in Texas, and as it happens, Duke says "I ain't afraid of no Quake!" referring to the upcoming release of Quake. Interesting teleporter in an armoire leads to the exit (and a helicopter).
Movie Set Edit
Check out what they're filming. One set has Lunar Apocalypse (the 2nd episode), another set is filming the moon landing (a reference to the moon landing conspiracy), and there's a friendly little battlelord outside to greet you when all is said and done.
A shorty but not a baddie either.
Tier Drops (secret level) Edit
Large drops await the unwary traveller. It's like a series of different movie sets that the aliens have invaded. The "city" area with the alien babe can spawn multiple enemies, up to the mini Battlelord. The moon area has just troopers and captains, the canyon area has Octabrains, and the green alien area has a solitary mini Battlelord in the exit chamber. Enjoy!
Rabid Transit Edit
What an awesome map. Always loved the subways.
Compared to its sister (Metro Mayhem) in Duke It Out In D.C., this mission is very small and won't take too much of your time. Quite a tricky fight through the blue key card door though.
Fahrenheit Edit
Turning up the heat. Includes a fire station, the area of town that doesn't like O.J. Simpson, and a radio station playing the breast, errr best tunes in town.
Hotel Hell Edit
Worst. Vacation. Ever. A Mini Battlelord has been called to check you in and a hot Mini Battlelord....errr babe is waiting for you by the pool! Indiana Jones has also stayed at this hotel, and the exit to Freeway is nearby.
A goldie this one. Arguably one of the best levels in the game.
Freeway (secret level) Edit
Duke's way or the freeway. I didn't know Duke was secretly Sarah Connor!
Stadium Edit
Game over! The final showdown!
Trivia Edit
Shrapnel City is the name of the first episode of the original Duke Nukem.
