Easter Eggs & secrets

Musical Easter Egg · Five

"Five" — Musical Easter Egg ("Won’t Back Down")

"Five" swaps the usual Sherwood original for a licensed track: "Won’t Back Down" by Eminem, started by answering the Pentagon’s three ringing, flashing red rotary phones. One sits by Quick Revive at spawn and one down in the labs — but the third is inside the Pack-a-Punch panic room, so the song is gated behind the full DEFCON procedure. Once per game.

Musical Easter Egg · Ascension

Ascension — Musical Easter Egg ("Abracadavre")

Ascension’s "Abracadavre" — Kevin Sherwood and Elena Siegman again, built on a remix of the menu theme "Damned" — hides behind three teddy bears, each clutching a sickle in a nod to the Soviet setting. All three sit in the opening half of the map.

Musical Easter Egg · Buried

Buried — Musical Easter Egg ("Always Running")

Buried’s "Always Running" — Kevin Sherwood, with Malukah’s vocals — hides its three teddy bears across the subterranean town, one of them inside the haunted mansion where reaching it costs a run past the ghosts.

Interaction · Buried

Buried — The Haunted Mansion Run

Buried’s mansion advertises its own reward: when the windows are lit, a run is available — roughly once every five rounds. Sprint the house, kill every ghost the run spawns (their 2,000-point touch does not void the prize), and the final ghost drops a Random Perk Bottle for the whole team.
