You must have the Havoc DLC pack. Load up Exo Zombies > Outbreak.
The youtube video at the bottom of this guide is all you should really need,however I have still included the steps in detail below.
This IS possible solo or in co-op however,
I HIGHLY recommend doing this solo as it is much easier [the solo method IS different to the co-op method].
In my opinion, solo, this is the easiest easter egg to date.
As such I have first included the solo method below.
---SOLO METHOD---1. BLACK BOXAs soon as you spawn in walk straight ahead and in the corner between the wall and the downed warbird is a black box recorder [which weirdly actually is black] walk up to it and hold (x) to pick it up. The black box should now appear in your inventory down the bottom left on your HUD. Next, make your way to the Morgue (blue room with exo reload/speedcola in it). Walk up to the computer terminals at the back right to the right of the generator. Stand by the terminal and hold (x) to place the black box on the ground by the terminal. You will be told you need higher security clearance. You can see your current security clearance level down the bottom left of your HUD in the red box on your badge. It will start as 00.
2. GET SET UPFor the rest of this easter egg you will need a few things, also there are certain things which whilst not needed, will make the next steps easier. These are listed below and are your primary objective for the lower rounds.
You will NEED:
- Quick Revive (Exo Medic) which gives you an extra life and can be bought 3 times
- The exo suit from the exo (green) room
- The EM1 (laser gun) from the 3dprinter/mysterybox
- A good secondary weapon preferably upgraded a little (eg CEL-3 Cauterizer)
- Juggernog (Exo Health)
- Boost Slam
These will HELP:
- Orbital drops (especially camouflage)
- Distraction drones from the mystery box
- All other perks (speed reload etc.)
You most definitely CAN start working on step 4-6 prior to the infected round if you get lucky with the mysterybox and double points drops and happen to complete set up early.
For all further steps keep 2 or 3 zombies alive at the end of the rounds to allow you to more efficiently complete the steps without having to worry about killing.
The next 4 steps (3-6) can be completed in any order you like.ATTAIN EACH OF THE CHARACTERS' SECURITY BADGES
3. MR. KAHN / Bill Paxton / MANAGER'S BADGEScout out the security pad locations detailed below prior to the infected round, try to attain and keep a camouflage from an orbital drop to make this step easier. Wait for the infected round (should be around round 8-10) then get straight to the admin area near the decon pad. Let yourself get infected by being hit once by a gas zombie then whilst infected (for obvious reasons power ups such as camouflage or specials such as the distraction drone would be incredibly useful at this point, use anything you have to keep yourself alive in these narrow corridors) run around the admin area and press all 4 of the keypads by running up to them and then holding (x). You have 60 seconds to do this. The timer can be seen on the bottom left of your HUD. You have successfully pressed the keypad when you hear a noise and the illuminated square at the bottom of the pad changes from blue to green. The four keypads are in the following locations;
1 - Opposite Exo Medic (quick revive)
2 - Between the decon pad and some double doors
3 - Down the back on an upstairs balcony / catwalk
4 - Near the trash chute
Once you have activated all four you can now head over to the glass window beside where keypad 1 was and hold (x) to pick up the manager's badge. Your security clearance level will now increase by +1. DON"T FORGET to use the decon shower to cure your infection before the counter runs out and you die! Alternatively, killing the last zombie of the wave will also cure your infection and drop a max ammo.
4. LILITH / Rose McGowan / I.T. GIRL'S BADGEAttain the EM1 (laser gun) from the mystery box (1000pts per hit). This gun is needed for step 4 and is helpful for step 5 & 6 also. If you do not attain the EM1 early in the game it is worth considering a restart. There are maps on the walls showing you where the mystery box is. It will start in the admin hallway near the morgue.
I've found the best way to attain the EM1 and the CEL-3 Cauterizer is to simply run up to the box and hold (x) without hesitation. Once you have the EM1 purchase another gun from the box (1000pts) then immediately shoot it with the EM1 and it will turn into Lilith's badge. Hold (x) to pick it up. Your security clearance level will now increase by +1.
5. DECKER / Jon Bernthal / SECURITY GUARD'S BADGEThis is a very luck based and therefore difficult step. You will need 600pts and a gun with a lot of ammo such as the EM1. Head to a trash chute (either the one in admin (red) or the one in the exo room (green)) then walk up to it and press (x). Immediately step back so that the chute opens but you do not go in then as soon as it closes walk up to it again and press (x) again but this time don't walk back - let yourself fall in, this will drop you into the incinerator. As soon as you can, start shooting all over the ground and keep your eyes peeled for a badge that will pop up and you can then hold (x) to pick it up. The reason the EM1 is so good is that you can keep holding and releasing (x) to pick up the card while shooting the ground (it doesn't reload). Make sure you use the trash chutes behind you to get out of there ASAP before the trash compactor squashes and kills you! Your security clearance level will now increase by +1. If you don't get lucky you can retry this however I recommend waiting until the next round as the third use onwards (in one round) of the trash chute will cost 2000pts.
6. OZ / John Malkovich / JANITOR'S BADGEHead to the holding (yellow) area where you found Exo Health (Juggernog). Go into the room with the cells (same room with the tac-19 on the wall). Two of the cells will be elevated - go to the cell furthest from the walls and head to the side opposite to the main hallway (opposite side to the side of the cell with the door) then crouch. Now look to the left corner underneath this side of the cell and you will notice a shiny silver / chromed rod that is out of place. Shoot this rod (with the EM1 or any weapon with a lot of ammo) until it disappears. You will know you are shooting the right target if it is vibrating as you shoot it and slowly moving downwards. After this is done purchase Exo Slam from the circular room (main hub) then come back to this cell. Boost jump above the cell (double tap a) then press (b) to boost slam onto the cell and it will drop down and simultaneously raise the adjacent cell. Now simply run over to the door side of the raised cell and hold (x) and you will pick up the janitor's badge. If you do not do it quickly enough you will have to repeat the process as the cells will return to their original positions. Your security clearance level will now increase by +1.
7. ZOMBIE BADGE DROPSYour security clearance should now be 04. This step will take a few rounds and as such I recommend you continue to upgrade your weapon(s) between the rounds. Continue to kill zombies and survive as you have been doing. Run your trains a bit quicker than usual as you will need to pick up badges dropped randomly by zombies you kill before they disappear (think of this part sort of like kill confirmed). You will have to play through the rounds killing zombies and picking up their badges until your security clearance is 49.
8. PALM SCANNERYour security clearance should now be 49. Head to your player's palm scanner and press (x) while beside it to confirm your identity. The scanner will light up green and the AI will say "Identity confirmed. Hello [playername]." There is one scanner for each character therefore you will need to use a different scanner depending on which character you are (you can see which character you are down the bottom left of screen). Scanner locations are as follows;
MR. KAHN / Bill Paxton / MANAGER - Admin (red) area - to the right of the upgrade machine and wrench in the wall
LILITH / Rose McGowan / I.T. GIRL - Morgue (blue) area - upstairs, in the room closest to the exo room doorway
DECKER / Jon Bernthal / SECURITY GUARD - Exo (green) area - in the corner of the room by a staircase
OZ / John Malkovich / JANITOR - Holding (yellow) area - in the room with Exo Health (juggernog)
After scanning your palm head back to the morgue terminal and press (x) once more while beside it. The AI will say "Authorization accepted" and an audio log will play "If you have clearance to hear this message then the test is a success. You have 24 hours to proceed to the rendezvous point and initiate phase two. Good luck." The AI will then say: "Power restored to Exo Testing facility" [Could this be a hint at the next map[?]]
9. ESCAPE!Quickly head over to the Exo (green) room and walk up to the exo holder and press (x) as you did when you originally equipped your exo and it will say 'Exo Suit Already Online' and the AI will say "Experimental weapon upgrade station online." You will notice a glass panel raise up and reveal the weapon upgrade station in the corner of this room that will allow you to put in a Mk 20 weapon and upgrade it instantly to the max weapon level of Mk25! Therefore, the easter egg is actually a good way to get to a high round! You will now start to hear the sound of the wardbird approaching and need to run back to spawn! Once you are at spawn [SPOILERS!] look into the sky and you will notice the warbird coming in to rescue you. Someone then calls in an orbital drop on the warbird and it takes it down before you can be rescued! The achievement should then pop! Well done you just completed the easter egg! Enjoy your really helpful upgrade machine and not quite as noteworthy orbital drop :)
---CO-OP METHOD---IMPORTANT NOTE: The way this method works is very similar to solo however seeing as it can be done with 2, 3 or 4 players you will notice some weird scaling such as 2 player - Manager pads each person presses two but in four player each person presses one, you can only pick up your own players card but if you're playing less than four player you can pick up cards of the characters not in the game etc.1. BLACK BOXEXACTLY the same as solo method.
2. GET SET UPThe same as solo method EXCEPT;
- Exo Medic (quick revive) helps but is not needed.
The next 4 steps (3-6) can be completed in any order you like.ATTAIN EACH OF THE CHARACTERS' SECURITY BADGES
3. MR. KAHN / Bill Paxton / MANAGER'S BADGEThe same as solo method EXCEPT;
- Each player must press one security pad / fingerprint scanner each WHILE infected. The locations are as follows;
1 - MR. KAHN - Opposite Exo Medic (quick revive)
2 - OZ - Between the decon pad and some double doors
3 - LILITH - Down the back on an upstairs balcony / catwalk
4 - DECKER - Near the trash chute
NB: This scales based on player number eg. if you are playing two player each player will have two pads to press.
- ONLY Mr.Kahn can pick up his card (or someone else if he's not in the game)
Mr. Kahn's security level clearance should now be 01 (or +1 on the person who picked it up if he's not in the game).
4. LILITH / Rose McGowan / I.T. GIRL'S BADGEThe same as solo method EXCEPT;
- ONLY Lilith can pick up her card (or someone else if she's not in the game)
Lilith's security level clearance should now be 01 (or +1 on the person who picked it up if she's not in the game).
5. DECKER / Jon Bernthal / SECURITY GUARD'S BADGEThe same as solo method EXCEPT;
- To get to the incinerator ALL PLAYERS must enter the trash chutes at the same time.
2 player: 1 at each chute,
3 player: 2 at one chute 1 at the other,
4 player: 2 at each chute.
Seeing as the host has the best connection to the game the host should open and enter the chute a bit later than the people at the other chute. I found counting down 3 2 1 go and the host goes about half a second after go worked consistently. For co-op I recommend that decker (or anyone if he's not in the game) simply runs forward and back up against the compactor while holding and releasing (x) whilst the other players simply shoot at all the dirt (using explosives seemed to also work quite well). This seems to be the most methodical way of finding the card in co-op & has worked for me consistently.
- ONLY Decker can pick up his card (or someone else if he's not in the game)
Decker's security level clearance should now be 01 (or +1 on the person who picked it up if he's not in the game).
6. OZ / John Malkovich / JANITOR'S BADGEThe same as solo method EXCEPT;
- ALL players will need exo slam and will need to stomp the cell at the same time
- ONLY Oz can pick up his card (or someone else if he's not in the game)
Oz's security level clearance should now be 01 (or +1 on the person who picked it up if he's not in the game).
7. ZOMBIE BADGE DROPSEXACTLY the same as solo method.
ALL players' security level clearance should now be 49.
8. PALM SCANNERThe same as solo method EXCEPT;
-ALL players will need to go to their unique palm scanner locations (listed above in solo method) and confirm their identity
ALL players' security level clearance should now be 50.
9. ESCAPE!The same as solo method EXCEPT;
-ALL players will need to walk up to the exo suit holder and press (x) simultaneously (one at each of the sides) - time this the same as the chutes with a 3,2,1 go with the host going half a second after go.
Well done you just completed the co-op easter egg which is much harder than the solo version! If everyone upgrades to Mk25 weapons now you should be able to get to a VERY high round! Good luck!
ADDITIONAL INFOTips to survive are:
-Start the low rounds shooting in the legs and knifing for more points
-Buy a cheap gun to start eg the Mk14
-Get to Exo Suit room ASAP
-Attain HealthBoost/Juggernog ASAP (2500pts)
-Attain two good weapons from the 3dPrinter/MysteryBox or the wall ASAP
-Train zombies behind you (gather them up behind you and run in circles around the room or map) once you reach approximately round 7 and upwards
-Upgrade your weapons using the upgrade machine whenever you can (2500pts)
-Pick up all powerups especially - DNA Bomb kills all zombies spawned in on the map, double points & instakill
-Knife/punch when you have instakill for more points
-Pick up all care packages! Why not they're free and they help you out!
-Gain free points from green security consoles by walking up to them and pressing x (randomly change around the map).
-Purchase all other perks in order of personal preference (I would suggest speed cola > quick revive > ground slam > gun-ho
-Prioritise killing zombies: gas/infected > acid > EMP > charger > standard
Good areas for training are spawn, the circular room right next to spawn and the exo room shown on the map below.
