Pixelated Dolphins

On April 7th, 2024, R.Cade, part of a team of easter egg hunters, screenshotted a "T" found on a tile in the Rock Garden on the sunset variant of the map. Shortly after, 6 more letters were found on similar tiles. CEO_Reuben found that the 7 letters spelled out "cetacea", the infraorder to which dolphins belong. Several hours later, a different group of hunters found that having seven players stand on the tiles on the sunset variant of the map made a pod of three dolphins appear.

Dolphins

Added in Season 2, the dolphins are one of the three easter eggs required to unlock level 3 of THE FINALS Easter Egg Hunt. They can be activated by 7 players standing on boxes marked with letters on the sunset variation of Horizon.

On April 4th, Rob first hinted at the dolphins by telling hunters "don’t forget to watch the sunset…". The next day, the activation page for level 3 was released. Among other easter eggs, it featured a dolphin made of voxels associated the 2.0.0 update, which suggested the Season 2 arena Horizon.

On April 7th, hunters frösty and RockhoundBlack noticed letters on some boxes on the arena's sunset variation. Collectively these spelled "cetacea", the infraorder of which dolphins belong to. Soon afterwards, hunters tried standing on each box at the same time, which triggered three dolphins to emerge from the water in front of the sunset.
