In-Game Easter Eggs (Depreciated)

The day before Closed Beta 1 went live, content creators were able to post footage from an event. Creators mentioned the view from the top of the crane in Seoul, and Rob commented “you can see a WR from there.... ._.” and “just something for you to follow..!”.

These were the first clues that there was something to find in the Closed Beta playtest. Rob also confirmed “these are linked to the lore and to the future… ._.”

Closed Beta 1

Trismegistus

On March 11th on the Seoul map,  binary code was noticed on a screen in The Infirmary by Vogue. The binary translates in the format as column down, left to right and spells Trismegistus.

Monaco Statues

Various statues were found around Monaco, including a bust of Polish painter Jan Matejko, and a Prince Albert I plaque. Both of these statues were accurate recreations of real-life objects present in Monaco. The fountain in Monaco is also a recreation of an actual fountain in Monaco, with the name U. Bassignani, the sculptor who made the fountain, engraved on the top.

Closed Beta 2

White Rabbit

On March 7th, a white rabbit was found on the VEIN sign on the Seoul map by Grizzy. It is best seen in spectator mode and its located on the outside of the building. Players can stand on top of the sign, and destroy the sign too.

On March 11th Rob posted “1 WR found in seoul 5 days… I was thinking 2.8 days per WR would be more than enough…”. As the beta was running for 14 days this meant there were 5 white rabbits to be found, he also confirmed this was only on the Seoul map.

On March 12th Rob confirmed that the WR’s will stay in the game after the beta.

On June 17th, during the second Closed Beta, another WR was found in Seoul by hunter fishxw. It is located on the south side of one of the ground-floor escalators in the Mall. The location of this WR was actually hinted at on June 13th, where Rob confirmed in a message that there are additional WRs to be found in CB2 and posted a picture of a computer screen with a closeup of a WR.

Rob has also alluded to the meaning of these white rabbits, restating that they relate directly to THE FINALS lore: "i.e. the white rabbits in the Closed Betas are actual THE FINALS lore..."

S Lies

On June 16th, during CB2, a message was found by hunter TheSkyFox. It is hidden behind a destructible wall under the crane in Monaco. The message reads "S Lies". The message is in an orange, pixel-styled text. It's meaning is unknown.

SR's Sprays

During CB2 on June 15th, veteran EE hunter Serpenger spotted a graffiti-style message on Monaco that read: "SR.!" This is a reference to a meme that was created by THE FINALS Easter Egg community, where the creator of TFEE Rob Runesson is affectionately known as Saint Rob, commonly abbreviated as SR.

After a screenshot of the message was posted in THE FINALS Discord by Serpenger, Rob replied to the image and posted "NICE.! If you find more graffiti with this style… well I guess you know who put them there.!" The hunters now knew that there would be more sprays hidden on the Monaco map, with messages from SR relating to the current tier of the hunt, Tier 1-E.

On June 18th, only three days after the first SR spray was found, expert hunter fishxw spotted another graffiti message behind a destructible wall near the Monaco crane: "825c". Since the style was the same as the first SR spray, the hunters knew that it must be a clue for the current tier of the hunt.

Under an hour later, hunter Flex4d made a connection: 825 degrees Celsius was the melting point of Aragonite, a crystallized form of calcium carbonate. This breakthrough, confirmed by Rob, was the start of a cascade of connections and revitalization of the hunt. This event eventually led to the password being solved on July 1st after a huge effort by many hunters.

Pergola Numbers

On June 15th, hunter Joshnut found numbers engraved on a wooden structure in Monaco's park area. The numbers are "125" and "512" or "51.2." The meaning of these numbers is still unknown.

Bracelet Numerals

On June 16th, Joshnut found another easter egg, this time on an in-game cosmetic. On the gloves with the wristbands, there are small Roman numerals engraved on the silver bracelet. These decode into a series of numbers as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 11, 7, 6, 3, 9, 2, 4, 3, 7, 11, 5, 3, 1, 11. The meaning of these numbers is still unknown. Rob reacted to this image, confirming it's importance.

At the end of CB2, Rob posted the following message:

"...a quick CB2 EE summary:

• WR: 2/5
• Graffiti: 2/5
• Lore messages: 1/10
• Trailer Clues: 0/6
• In Game EE's: 1/XXX

Pretty good I must say ALMOST 20%... Really hope all of you enjoyed CB2..!"

Open Beta

On October 25th, the day that the Open Beta was announced, Rob posted the following message in the easter eggs channel in the official Discord: "BTW - remember that we will run an OPEN Beta tomorrow... that means that it is allowed to hide real important things in there since EVERYONE can join... GLHF.!"

Office Whiteboards

In the office building section of the Skyway Stadium arena, there are whiteboards with writing on them. Two different boards have been found, each with their own unique writing. Each board has a small red grid on the right side, and when these grids are combined they create the format for a guitar chord (G6). There is also a small THE FINALS logo written on the second board. The other drawings still have unknown meanings.

J. BRALLAN Statue

In Skyway Stadium, there is a statue in the mansion area that resembles a statue that is present in the Monaco arena. This statue has a plaque in front of it that reads "INVITATION J. BRALLAN 1986." After some speculation in the easter eggs Discord channel, Rob said, "You will NEVER get that reference… it’s not part of this EE-hunt, not even part of the lore (sry Spear), it’s just a game dev EE…"

Rob's Signature

In the "Bases Loaded" bundle, there is a baseball charm called the "Stolen Base" with the description, "Rob your opponents of victory.!" There is a signature "Rob R." on the baseball charm belonging to Rob Runesson (also known as SR), an Embark co-founder and creator of the TFEE. The description has two clues to the signature on the ball, "Rob your opponents..." and ".!" which is commonly used by Rob in his messages.

Embark Pallets

Door Sound Effects

When opening a door by sprinting into it, there is a small chance to hear a chicken "cluck" sound effect. This is a reference to an Easter Egg of the same nature in the Battlefield franchise, as many ex-DICE devs have worked on THE FINALS.

Money Flies

On the Las Vegas arena, there are fly swarms around various trash bags and dumpsters. Upon closer inspection these "flies" are actually small dollar bills with wings. It uses the same sprite as the "Easy Come, Easy Go" emoticon from the Season 1 Battle Pass.
