Easter Egg Steps
Note: highly recommend Pack-a-Punching the starting pistol for dealing with Panzers (needs PhD however; it will one-shot you even with Jug)

Pack-a-Punch
After turning on power, a blue orb will spawn in the sky on the side of the map behind Quick Revive and will move clockwise around the map. Once it is shot, the teleporter door will open and Pack-a-Punch can be utilized using the standard initiate-and-link sequence (seems to have a two-round cooldown).

While teleporting to Pack-a-Punch, there is a chance that you will spawn in an area with a random perk (the only one not on the regular map) or an area with the Wrath of the Ancients before continuing on to Pack-a-Punch.

Perk Slots
There are a few ways to obtain perk slots, each of which require the power to be on. Unlocking a slot also gives each player 1000 points.

1. One perk slot can be obtained from picking up three Mule Kick bottles:
  • There is a Mule Kick bottle near power that can be picked up (opposite perk spawn)
  • On a red box next to the teleporter pad
  • On the floor of the shipping container that leads towards spawn

2. You can knife the panel next to power and three terminals around the labs will light up. Interact with these to disable them and earn another perk slot and 1000 points

Main Easter Egg
Step 1
After turning on power, progress the game to Round 10. From this point on, HAL (SFX Volume) will begin talking from within your space suit. The first thing he will ask you to do is turn on a silver radio.

This radio can be found on a barrel underneath the elevated structure next to power. Once this is interacted with, a quote will play, and the round must be advanced to start the next step.

Step 2
Once the next round has started, HAL will tell you to find a helmet left out in space and place it on the equipment rack. The helmet can be found on the ground across from the perk location next to the Rack-9 and can be placed on the table next to the P.E.S. spawn outside of the room with HAL in it. Again, end the round.

Step 3
After progressing to the next round, HAL will tell you to visit Pack-a-Punch and upgrade a weapon. You are given 5000 points once entering the Pack-a-Punch area.

Step 4
After starting the next round, HAL will then ask you to die. DO NOT do this; instead, wait about 30 seconds and then go up to HAL and attempt to restart him. HAL will then spawn two panzers that you must kill.

Step 5
After a few minutes, HAL will then ask you to shoot some monkeys. These monkeys are white/brown in a crouching posture

Locations:
  • Just outside the map behind the Mystery Box spawn in the area to the left of power (has a crane)
  • In the room adjacent to HAL with a perk, outside the broken window on the ground (look towards the excavator)
  • On the rocks above and behind where the helmet for the earlier step was

Step 6
After advancing the round, HAL will tell you to touch the Monolith. After doing so, HAL will spawn in two panzers.

Step 7
After advancing the round, HAL will apologize and say he is working on fixing the error. After advancing the round again, he will say that the reboot was unsuccessful. After a few minutes you will be able to restart HAL again, which will spawn another two panzers

Step 8
After the previous step, there will be a bucket that can be picked up from the table behind the broken window from the monkey step. Once obtained, this can be placed underneath the leaky pipe by power.

Step 9 (Last Step)
After waiting 2-3 minutes, the bucket can be picked up and then used to soak HAL. Doing so will result in two panzers spawning in. Upon completion of this, all perk slots will be awarded, players are given 25,000 points, and a stall in the bathroom will open revealing the Ray Gun.

Cool, thanks. Is there a HAL quote associated with that part? Just making sure I didn't miss anything quote-wise
Zenith 30 Jun, 2023 @ 6:57pm 
And is there anything left after the bucket step? I have all perk slots but I definitely don't think I've done enough additional quests to have unlocked them all

after you splash water onto the consoles where hal is, thats the end, u get given 25k points, all perk slots, and in the bathroom a stall will open to a raygun wall buy

For the bow EE, I'm on the last step for it, or assume I'm on the last step. I've absorbed 3 orbs but can't figure out what I need to do for the 4th. Any hints?
