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.

Musical Easter Egg · Call of the Dead

Call of the Dead — Musical Easter Egg ("Not Ready to Die")

Call of the Dead swaps the house composer for a headliner: "Not Ready to Die", written for the map by Avenged Sevenfold, with lyrics that reference Group 935 and Samantha and the "Damned" motif buried near the end. Three meteorites start it.
