H3 - Easter Eggs (EEs)

Has anyone noticed the sound that plays the first time you hit all the targets in the center in the shooting range of the safehouse?
Can a thing like this be datamined like other EEs?

Minute 1:17.

I think it’s just some sort of victory jingle… though it is weird (probably an oversight?) That none of the others that I’ve unlocked so far play that sound when ā€œcompletedā€ā€¦

I did notice that but I thought I imagined it because it never happened again :sweat_smile:

Yeah, I keep trying with the other options and none of the others so far play that jingle. SAD.

It’s definitely an easter egg, that’s all I’m saying about it.

On Chongqing, the safe in the apartments also contains a ā€œStrange Noteā€ with a reference to ET. I assume that’s all there is to this easter egg but I thought I should mention it here seeing as nobody has already. If I stop by at that safe again I’ll edit this message with a screenshot of the exact quote.

It’s from Berlin as part of the ET easter egg. It’s appearance in Chongqing since the patch is presumably a glitch.

Sooooo what happens with the jingle when you hit bullseyes in the shooting range?

Not sure, wondered if it’s related to the disabled ā€˜Check gun parts’ prompt in the shed but there must be an extra step or two in between if so.

Oh, I question I have - I swear I took the silverballer out of the chest behind the shed but didn’t take the merces, and came back another time and the silverballer was back. But I ended up taking both and now they’ve not come back. Are they gone for good or is there a known way to get them back in there?

Perhaps it’s possible that since the first time I already had a silverballer on the wall, when I dropped the one from the chest it didn’t merge them and didn’t consider it ā€˜used’. Maybe I’m just forgetful/imagining things though.

Don’t know if anybody has commented this yet, but the highest tier office upgrade has the newspaper for Death of a Showman in it, where the header states ā€œLunatic massacres 17ā€

Aha, I was sure it was somehow related to that… I’ve literally never seen that note though, I only ever knew about the EE exit just from the graffiti outside.
Where do you find that note in Berlin?

In the cloakroom.

It isn’t a bug per se, it’s addition is semi-intentional, not related to EEs though.

I’m now intrigued, anymore information would be greatly appreciated

It’s just a reused asset which is why it has the ET reference since it is used in Berlin

Since apparently there is an Easter Egg in the Safehouse (thanks @Notex, I actually appreciate that you leave the EE hunt open, and not just close it via a data mined reveal).
With the shooting range as at least a step in it, I have started to try a few things.

First : the sound after completion only happens the first time you do it per session in the safehouse.

Second, yesterday I have tried the following :

  • going to the greyed out gun part in the shed afterward (also did that for all the following tries)
  • did all of the non-premium range targets in sequence (leaving them with the red circles)
  • did all of the range targets in sequence
  • looked for new interaction prompt, including while wearing weapons, or items (I looked like a fool running around with the golf club)

And, nothing.

I don’t even know if it’s something that is made only in the Safehouse, or if it requires to go into a campaign.

I also don’t know if it’s something that can be done with only the non-premium options, or if they will have to be used. (especially important if as @BluntsNBeatz said it’s related to the check gun part in the shed, that is only here for the premium option)

Have you tried keeping the ā€œcheck gun partsā€ animation going for a bit in the bunker?

Just a thought, considering that there’s an an I’ve achievement for meditating for 3 minutes - I wonder if he checks gun parts for long enough, he’ll craft a gun which you then use to shoot the targets?

Have you noticed that if you shoot at the vertical bar that holds the default targets, an event camera appears in the upper left corner?
