"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.
