Dirty Little Secret is the first chapter of the second act of
Gears of War 2.
Objective: Explore the Warehouse

In this mission,
Marcus and
Dom need to explore an abandoned COG
outpost in search of intel on the
Locust stronghold and the
Locust Queen. When you enter the warehouse, you will notice that if you go in the rooms along the hallway leading to the large door at the end, you will notice a
Wretch or two run by. When you reach the large door, a man named
Niles appears on the monitors, saying you need clearance which is when Marcus orders
Baird to make an extra strength blast charge while Dom and him search for a way to turn on the power. While doing this, you can pick up the
Scorcher Flamethrower along with the three pistols available in the game. Once you reactivate the power and fight your way through some Wretches, Baird finishes the charge, and that is when you and Dom have to carry the bomb without using any other weapons due to you and Dom picking it up with one hand while carrying your current pistol in the other. Please note that you will have unlimited pistol ammunition for the time that you are carrying the blast charge. After you plant and set off the bomb, Niles says "Access granted. Thank you. Carry on." and the section called
Origins begins.
