How To Open Three Dot Doors & Get Past Other Obstacles With The Wide Beam
The Wide Beam will allow players to destroy any three-dot door, known in-game as “Wide Beam Covers”, by simply shooting them once.After a single blast, these obstacles will be destroyed and will never hinder the player again–which is more satisfying than it should be.
In addition to being able to open these doors, players will also be able to move large rectangular obstacles known inMetroid Dreadas Wide Beam Boxes. However, this is only possible after obtaining theCharge Beam upgradeas well, for Wide Beam Boxes cannot be moved with a single shot.It will take a fully charged blast with a Wide Beam upgrade to push these obstacles out of Samus' way.
As players may be able to guess from the additional energy rounds being fired, the Wide Beam upgrade will also do more damage to enemies, which makes traversing the hostile Planet ZDR a fair deal easier.
