Giant Sandwich
The enormous sandwich can be found in one of Halo Infinite’s numerous caves just south of the Spire on the game’s fourth island.
After heading inside, players will have to navigate through a hidden entrance using their grappling hook until stumbling upon the enormous-sized hoagie.
It’s surrounded by a group of Grunts who appear to be worshipping the sandwich, which seems strangely fitting for such a larger-than-life icon.
Craig the Brute Tribute
Craig the Brute quickly became an internet sensation back in July 2020 when 343 Industries first showed off gameplay of Halo Infinite before delaying the game to fix a litany of issues.
It appears that in that time, Craig was transformed into an easter egg of sorts, as players continue to find references to him all over Zeta Halo, including musical paraphernalia.
After entering an air vehicle like a Wasp or Banshee, players can venture to the peak of the Tower and find a stage, instrument, album, and poster indicating Craig’s current rock star status.
Halo Arcade Cabinet
Early on in the campaign as well as on the multiplayer map Streets, players can find groups of arcade machines, including one based on Halo Infinite itself.
In the campaign, it can be found behind Outpost Tremonius by following a path to the left of the Outpost while facing the main structure.
While you’re not able to interact with the machine, it will play a retro-inspired take of the game’s main theme, which is rather neat.
Blood Gulch Hologram
A reference to the now-infamous multiplayer map that was first introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved and popularized by the Red vs. Blue web series can be found in one of the Banished Fortresses in Halo Infinite’s campaign.
To find the hologram, players must first travel to the Banished Outpost Riven Gate on Halo Infinite’s fourth island and make their way through a subterranean passage.
Eventually, they’ll come across a section with some crates stacked up and a hologram depicting the Blood Gulch map hidden behind them.
Rick u0026 Morty Mr. Meeseeks Box
This next easter egg is likely to go over the heads of most players who aren’t familiar with the animated TV show Rick & Morty.
On Halo Infinite’s first island, players can discover a mysterious box within the Tower close to the Craig easter egg and one of Infinite’s many hidden skulls.
The box in question is a reference to Mr. Meeseeks, one of the more peculiar Rick & Morty characters who’s prone to creating mayhem everywhere he goes.
Secret Xbox Game Room
About halfway through Halo Infinite’s campaign, players are given a mission that sends them to various beacons across the ring.
Near one of those beacons on the fourth island, you can find an extremely well-hidden easter egg by traveling through a hexagonal tunnel and grappling up through a tiny hole to a secret cave.
Here, you’ll find what appears to be a UNSC Marine’s clandestine game room, complete with an original Xbox and heap of tasty snacks.
Character Plushies
Throughout Zeta Halo, players can also find a bunch of endearing plushie dolls based on notable Halo characters including Master Chief, Cortana, the Arbiter, Pilot, and Didact.
They can be found in various particular spots across the map, with some locations directly linked to the character’s role in the series.
Most intriguing is the fact that these dolls are the only form of reference to certain characters that otherwise don’t appear in Halo Infinite.
Peanut the Gopher
Dubbed “Peanut” by a 343 employee after it was posted about online, this gopher can be found in one of Halo Infinite’s early campaign missions.
While walking through a dark storage room filled with slates depicting humanoid figures, players can see Peanut hanging out in the lower levels.
Certainly one of the stranger easter eggs to discover, given the spooky feel of the room it was found in.
Invisible Scorpion Gun
Seeing as this easter egg is literally invisible, it’s simpler to describe using video, which should also come in handy if you plan on finding it for yourself since the Scorpion Gun tends to be rather tricky.
It can be obtained directly after arriving on Zeta Halo’s surface by clearing out all enemies from the Outpost Tremonius and walking around the nearby wreckage until you see a prompt to pick it up.
Once equipped, the invisible gun will apparently fire just like a Scorpion Tank, dealing enormous amounts of damage, even on higher difficulties.
Sheila the Tank
Another easter egg involving a tank, this one is triggered by calling down a Scorpion tank, only for a UNSC Marine to clue you into its name: Sheila.
This is another clever mention of the web series Red vs. Blue, where a tank with the same name goes with the Blue Team to fight.
There’s even a related campaign achievement called “Bring Sheila Home Safely,” which requires you to complete the crucial mission “The Road” without letting Sheila get destroyed.
Metal Gear Solid Controller Reference
This next easter egg makes a great deal more sense if you played the initial Metal Gear Solid on the original PlayStation back in the day.
In it, the antagonist Psycho Mantis is given the capability to read players’ minds and anticipate their actions unless they happen to plug their controller into the secondary port.
It would appear Halo Infinite’s Grunts are fans of Kojima’s work, seeing as they think this same tactic could be used to bring down Master Chief himself.
Halo Theme at Highest Peaks
Last but not least, this is a recurring easter egg throughout the Halo franchise in which climbing to one of the highest points in the map triggers a certain music theme to start playing.
In the case of Halo Infinite, players are treated to the instantly recognizable main theme, complete with Gregorian monk chanting and a breathtaking view of Zeta Halo.
Great for when you’re feeling a tad nostalgic for classic Halo or need to relax after a long day of hunting down easter eggs.
