Metroid Dread is the latest adventure with bounty hunter Samus Aran, and this time, you explore the remote planet of ZDR. You’re bound to come across blocks in the walls and floors that can’t seem to be broken with your default beam, making you feel stuck with how to proceed. Each of these special blocks has a unique symbol on them, but that isn’t always helpful if you can’t figure out how to break it. Here are all of the block and door types and how to break them in Metroid Dread.
