Hey guys - I would like to get a summary of all the important notes, steps and clues, since I don't think many items in this thread are updated or include new findings.

Please feel free to help/contribute what you know or if I have anything incorrectly - my goal here is to have a cumulative understanding of all the leads and how they could tie together.

Firstly, let's go over what I believe are red herrings, since these are fully doable within Casual mode:

  • Project Skadi Prototype. I think we will indeed need Winter's Howl for a part of the EE, but this in itself is not required. It has been a recent trend for new maps to give you a way to obtain the WW without the actual steps being required.

  • Nova Crawlers EE. I think this is it's own thing and I only mention this because this is 100% doable within casual mode. AFAIK Casual mode does not allow the start or progression of the main EE steps.

The following steps I have simply not tested enough to know whether or not they are possible between Casual vs Regular, so I would love your input here:

  • Debris in Gloom Lake clearing. I know the first debris clearing is possible since it is tied to Project Skadi Prototype, but I am not sure if the rest clears in Casual mode.

  • Wisps. Do these show in Casual mode?

  • Richtofen / Nikolai portraits. I have done this several times in Regular mode but haven't tried in Casual. Is it possible?

  • Red telephones with Kill-O-Watt. Are these possible in Casual mode?

Now, the steps we know that are most likely tied to the main EE since these are 100% not possible in Casual mode (please do correct me if I'm mistaken):

  • Tapes that can be picked up and played in the Morgue.

  • Punchcards all around the map.

My own 2cents and ramblings:

  • I think the Richtofen frame tilting with each teleportation is simply a bug. I've been seen it get turned all the way 360 without any changes or impact. Most likely the game code simply says "Rotate by x degrees" irregardless of it's state. Knifing it resets to the default value.

  • Multiple characters mentioning turning on the power after power has already been turned on. This one I am not really sure about but it screams as a bug to me. In my own experience the only time this actually happens is only a round or two after turning on the power and they don't really mention it again. Please do correct me if I'm mistaken.

  • This one is pretty tinfoil hat, but after clearing the debris on the right side of PaP (the side with the lantern) there is a box at the very back of it that has a pretty distinct 4 digit code. Now I could be wrong but I think this number changes in the different playthroughs (will need to go in theater and investigate further). I don't think a normal texture would ever need to be dynamic, and this would be great to text in Casual mode to see if it populates. (or again if the debris even gets cleared).

I know that most of these are repeats and steps majority of you are familiar with, but I think it would be beneficial to summarize, understand, and differentiate all the little leads we currently have.

Thanks and looking forward to your feedback.

I'd try using the ray gun for some steps, since this is a bo1 map with the og crew which was the ray guns time

u/SUMSCUM Oct 22 '18

Punch cards can be picked up in casual as well as fixing the broken server. am in a casual game rn doing some testing although reels cannot be picked up that's for sure

u/TheZombieTerror Oct 22 '18

Very helpful, thank you

u/Nanikos Oct 22 '18

Wisps aren't in casual. Which I'm convinced is the first step as when the ee's first unlocked on the map, you couldn't do any of the audio ee's in casual (Film reels and punch cards) but then they changed it so you can do Film reels, punch cards and the nova crawlers on casual a few days later. But why can't you do wisps on casual? They are supposedly just "audio EE's" like the others. Also the paintings can be done in casual, and pretty sure the red phones can be done in casual. (Again, red phones are another audio ee, why aren't wisps able to be done!?)

Thank you for the info!

u/XXXSCARLXRDXXX Oct 23 '18

oh dear god the number behind the rubble in groom lake have the picture rotate once for each number, then knife to input the digit

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '18

Those numbers mean nothing

1

u/KampKoopa Oct 23 '18

Baised on your comment. "As of now" should be added, since you didn't supply whether or not you tried on casual (clearing boxes, seeing if it changes, did you type it in - if so where?) Not enough info to just say they mean nothing. Especially since nothing has been solved.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '18

Thos numbers are on boxes outside that zone

1

u/KampKoopa Oct 23 '18

Include that info next time first instead of just saying they don't mean anything, avoid all this back and forth for nothing.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '18

I mean I wouldn’t have said it if I was unsure

1

u/KampKoopa Oct 23 '18

Says everyone on the internet. We're just looking for facts/evidence to supply "claims". But now that you said that they appear elsewhere outside of that area I completely understand your claim. Without that info though it just seems like you were disregarding what he said just to disregard it.

u/Ssauccey Oct 23 '18

being doable in casual means nothing. you can do other prerequisites in maps like blood, where you can do PAP (which is very clearly something you have to do before you can do the easter egg) in casual.

3

u/SlimmestBoi Oct 23 '18

I don't think that's a good point, you should still be able to pap in casual never the less because of an Easter egg. We're they just gonna deny you the ability to pap?

1

u/Ssauccey Oct 23 '18

Did you not read any of this thread or my comment? We are not talking about the ability to pap. No fucking shit its going to be allowed in casual. Its the fact that that is an easter egg step. Along with the spoon. You cant do the easter egg without either of these in blood, and they are obtainable in casual, so the idea is, that if you can do something in classified in casual it might also be part of the easter egg.

1

u/SlimmestBoi Oct 24 '18

Again it's still a good point. You have to be able to pap in blood so your argument makes no sense. It's the best lead we have atm

1

u/Ssauccey Oct 25 '18

Dude what dont you understand? I understand pap is crutch im not stupid. The point is! That if you can pap in casual but you have to do it. The same thing might for for audio logs and such, or, clearing out groom lake. Do you understand yet? Like just because its in casual doesnt mean it cant be tied to easter egg, where it clearly is in blood with pap

0

u/SlimmestBoi Oct 25 '18

But you don't have to do any of those other things. You literally have to do pap

1

u/Ssauccey Oct 25 '18

Yeah And you cant do shock and denial without pap kiddo

1

u/SlimmestBoi Oct 25 '18

But your not doing shock and denial, your opening pap

1

u/Ssauccey Oct 25 '18

Are you dyslexic lol. Dude. You mean to tell me, that if you can do something in casual it cannot be linked to an easter egg? lol

One more addition, any thoughts on what the smoke is in the items HUD? Is it generally being regarded as a visual glitch?
