It’s in reference to the 8 Elite Zealot Snipers you can encounter on Legendary if you backtrack from the point you gained the Zealot’s camo module.
HOWEVER!
This easter egg is also glitched. Killing those 8 Zealots is meant to unlock a UNSC weapon cache (rockets & shotguns) at the start of the Cartographer room, but when you go from the loading zone where you killed the 8 Zealots back to the area with the camo zealot it also despawns those very same UNSC weapons you intended to unlock.
A guy called Zylon0217 was told by another guy, Lord Zedd, about the scripts that trigger this easter egg and made a video showing the 8 Zealots, and claimed he managed to ‘break’ the loadzone to get the UNSC weapons, but he never followed through with proof on it. Another guy, NoWise10, (who was responsible for finding the Shutdown skip) also mods in the campaign and SpOps to find easter eggs and hidden stuff, and to generally muck around. It’s through him that I found out about the glitched nature of the easter egg:

"Weapon caches spawn inside the building, but when you walk into the camo elite zone, you hit a loading zone that deletes them. "

“Okay, Im at the point where I think the guy is lying. He claims to have found a way to get the weapon caches to load on Requiem AND shutdown, yet he hasnt made a single video of one, YET hes done a video of other already known glitches and easter eggs in Halo 4, but he doesnt do the one no one has found or accomplished yet?
That, and i’ve done literally everything I could. I’ve modded myself past loading zone, if run through the same loading zones over and over for 10 minutes straight thinking it would “break” it, but nothing happens. No enemies even spawn on Shutdown, nor is their any loading zones besides once the gate closes, and thats scripted, you cant walk into it.
So i’m calling shenanigans on him.” (There’s also an easter egg on Shutdown that grants you gravity hammers, but it seems that the script that activates that might be glitched too.)

“I mean, ammo boxes ARE supposed to spawn, but they dont do to how 343 loaded them, but the guy claimed he found out how to make them load correctly. Like 2 weeks ago he said he’d make a video of them. After I asked him again whens he doing it I found out he blocked me.”
Look through pages 15 onwards if you want the full dialogue. But anyway, that easter egg is glitched, and as far as I know modders haven’t found any other easter egg triggers/scripts on Requiem besides this one.
