Easter Egg Guide (SPOILERS)
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE MAP: THERE IS A HINT SYSTEM IN THE MAP THAT HELPS YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIGURE OUT THE STEPS YOURSELF, BUT IF NOT THIS IS AN EXACT LIST OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BEAT THE MAP.





This map consists of 4 main areas that are progressed through in a relatively linear fashion before unlocking the main easter egg steps and will be referenced as follows:

Center: The spawn room
Hallway 1 / H1 : the first hallway you have access to.
Hallway 2 / H2 : The hallway unlocked by the bolt cutters.
Hallway 3 / H3 : The hallway unlocked with the ladder.

Progression through the map/Easter egg steps are the following:




Step 1: In H1, enter the bolt cutter store and get the "bolt cutters" by knifing the display case. Use these boltcutters to open up H2 from Spawn.




Step 2: There are 10 targets you need to find that will unlock a door in the firing range to the Mall Key once destroyed.

Target 1: Spawn in the foliage near the elevator.
Target 2: H1 next to the forklift
Target 3: H1 behind the Victors Secret sign.
Target 4: H2 on a cart near the first H2 debris buy.
Target 5: In the foliage on the gobblegum machine outside of the firing range.

The other 5 targets are located within the target range in H2.




Step 3: Get the ladder in Home Depot at the end of H2. The ladder is located in the back of the store. This will unlock H3, the shoe store in H2 with staminup, and grant access to the next part




Step 4: Use the ladder to enter H3. Go upstairs in H3 and find the bag store. Use the ladder in the corner of the store to get access to the backpack.




Step 5/6 can be done in either order, but I highly recommend going in the the pandora store first.




NOTE: IF DOING THE PANDORA STORE STEP, I HIGHLY RECCOMEND STARTING IT WITH 1 OR FEW ZOMBIES LEFT

Pandora store (step 5): All players must enter the pandora store in the Center upstairs and stand near the small mystery box. You will have to survive an entire round within the room, so be prepared to fight. This will unlock the recipe for crack. Crack parts can be found in the following locations:




Orange: The Apple store in H3 behind a fruit stand on the left.


Gator skin: The green shoes in the H2 shoe store that has staminup


Baby Formula: Upstairs H2 the Pissbaby store that has Deadshot Daqiri, directlyy next to the perk machine (small bottle).


Wood chips(this is multi step):
Wood planks:Grab the wood from Home Depot in H2, this is past where you grabbed the ladder leaning on the wall

Wood Chips: Go the Kitchen store in Upstairs H3 and use the blender on the counter to grind the wood, this takes a round




You can then combine the parts at the coffee machine in the kitchen next to where you grind the wood in the Wood Chips step (this also takes a round).




Build the Van (step 6): There are 3 parts required to build the van



The van itself: Found in the Van store at the far end of H3.

Brick (to hold down the accelerator ofc): Found in the safe in the back of Victors secret, which can be opened with a grenade.

Duct tape: Found in the duck store in H3, by using prone to get behind the big ducks and doubletap machine.



The van can be assembled in front of the elevator in the Center, in front of the turned truck on fire. If both the van has been built and crack acquired to fuel it, the level can be ended for 25000 points!



The op melee weapon is needed for the movespeed but it is also funny so you should know where it is, Upstairs H2 on the oppsite side of Pissbabys store, there are 2 carts that block off a part of the map. You can jump on the rail next to the carts and walk around to find the hidden buy spot. The rest of the spots are up to you, but I would reccomend checking high and low in the van store, you might find something fun

There is a crow in each hallway and the starting room.

Starting Room: In the tree that is growing through the 2nd floor.

First Hallway: On top of one of the green bars that spans across the roof, visible from first or second floor.

Second Hallway: This one extremely hidden. You must go to the carts across from Piss Babys where part of the map is cut off. You are able to jump on the railing and go around to find the crow on the cart hidden behind a piece of wood.

Third Hallway: In the escalator that leads up towards the second floor.
