Pressing the corresponding key or button brings up the Automap, allowing you to analyze the mission area from the Dossier. Whether you are planning your next move or checking secret areas to collect valuable items, checking the Automap often greatly helps. What makes the Automap unique is its 3D view, allowing you to rotate and examine every corner and pathway of the mission area.

This is crucial, as most secret areas can only be found using the Automap, which requires you to drop down or break any objects to access them.
