The Slab Easter Egg Instructions
- In The Slab map, search for a recreation area outside. Find one of the thrashballs and kick it around, just for practice. Prepare to do a lot more pushing.
- Before pushing that thrashball around too much, find the grenade / incendiary grenade spawn point. Nearby you should see gate blocking a hallway leading towards the electric chair. In the gate, there’s a circular hole, big enough for a thrashball.
- Get back to the thrashball, and push the ball through the circular hole in the gate. The Easter Egg will play out before your eyes.
- SPOILER! When the thrashball is rolled through the hole in the gate, a rat will appear in the blocked hallway. Wait for the rat to run to your side of the fence. Stepping on the rat (or shooting it) will cue a spray of blood and an evil laugh. Leave the rat alone, and it’ll just run off.
Additional Notes
- It’s widely believed that this easter egg is only the beginning of something much bigger. This may be the first step. if you can help us figure out what’s next, post a comment below!
- The hole in the fence, where the Thrashball is kicked into, can be accessed by a Ticker in Beast mode. There’s no known benefit known for this, yet.
- On the floor of the map, the player can spot Wretch footprints leading around the area — including the hole in the fence discussed above.
- In the Laundry Room, there may be another fence with a hole large enough for the thrashball, or an open laundry machine. Not confirmed.
