Hey guys! So after all the hint and mention of the undiscovered Warzone Firefight Easter Egg, a group of us had been brainstorming and trying different things. Hard work pays off and we found it!
So how did we do it? Read on for more. Skip to the bottom for a video if you’re too lazy to read.
We tried a lot of things along the way. Trial and error is a -Yoink- sometimes! Things we tried that it wasn’t:
-
8 man Flawless run - Letting the time run out instantly - AR/Pistol only. No REQ’s, no armor mods, etcThings we had on deck to try but didn’t get to:
-
AR/Pistol only. No REQ’s, Flawless - Melee only (Yeah, we’re crazy) - 8 man cosplay of Teams Osiris and Blue (lol)Yesterday’s bulletin gave us another hint in the form of a poem:
On the holy place
In the verdant oasis
Away from attack
You’ll find a lost foe
But show them mercy
And witness their bond
Vier their return
When foe becomes friend(s)
So with that hint, we put a hunting group together and started brainstorming. Our group included snickerdoodle, Ka Five, Matty McDee, Silver Zephyr, Imuoto Rebs, and myself, The Little Moa. We narrowed the map down to Attack on Sanctum. After that, we were left with, “What next?” Ultimately, here’s how we did it.
Play through Round 1 totally normally. At the end, hang out by the Broken Pillars on the Desert/Red side of the map and just wait. Be patient! If you make your move too soon, the magic won’t happen. Sit tight by the Pillars, play a couple rounds of tiddlywinks, and when the timer reaches 3:50, head over towards the Blue side and the broken Oasis - don’t forget to take the man cannon shortcut. You should notice a plasma pistol hanging out on the ground and a Grunt in a Ghost - you know what needs to be done here. EMP the Ghost and the Grunt will hop out and be cranky with you. Don’t kill the Grunt! You need him.
Shortly after you do that, a blue Crawler will spawn. Don’t kill him either! You’ll need him too. The Grunt will walk up to the Crawler and they’ll both be shooting at you. Don’t kill either and you’ll eventually see them teleport away.
Shrug and go back to your match of Firefight and clear round 3. After round 3, during intermission, run back over to the Oasis and stand to the right of Red Garage and look at the Oasis. When round 4 starts, you’ll hear a Slipspace bubble and then you’ll see it - A Grunt (jockey) on a Crawler! He doesn’t hang around long. You’ll hear the Slipspace bubble again and then he’s gone so wave farewell and then go fight the good fight.
