Exfil
After Orlov is done with his three locations, you will get 1 minute and 30 seconds to reach the exfil site. This site is the same as your regular exfil, which is the pond to the left of the tunnel entrance.
Getting to the site will be difficult as you will be swarmed with a lot of zombies who will try their best to stop you from reaching the exfil.
There will also be a number of blue energy barriers all around the map that will instantly kill you.
You need to avoid these barriers when making your way to the exfil. These barriers will block several paths. Follow this route to reach the exfil site safely:
-
- Go to the weapons lab room and jump over the railing to get into the control room, or descend into the lower level and go up the stairs to avoid the blue energy barriers.
-
- Go up the stairs towards the facility entrance leading you into the tunnel and turn right.
-
- Go outside the tunnel and now it should be fairly simple for you to reach the pond area. Avoid all the blue energy barriers and keep making your way to the site. Remember to use the Aether Shroud field upgrade if multiple zombies surround you.
-
- Interact with the helicopter to complete the easter egg.
Once you’ve reached the chopper and exited the site successfully, the easter egg will end.
You will also unlock a calling card named ‘Evil Unleashed’ for completing the main easter egg. It will come in extremely handy when it comes to bragging rights!
And that completes our guide to the main easter egg of Die Maschine. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions related to this easter egg.
General Tips
- To begin, make sure you spawn with a Knife and an Aether Shroud field upgrade in your loadout. This will help you earn points a lot faster. If you don’t know already, you can kill zombies instantly using the knife up to round 12-13. After round 12-13, you must have a weapon. But we won’t go up to that round with the knife. Stay at the spawn and keep killing zombies with the knife up to round 6 and then continue.Try to be careful when knifing the zombies. You might pick up the nuke power-up, and it will kill all the zombies, not only advancing the round but also robbing you of making more points by killing zombies. Each melee kill awards you 115 points.
- You do not have to buy the Jugger-Nog perk and waste your points. You can get it for free by doing the coffin dance meme easter egg. Feel free to check out our full guide on how to do that.
- Once you’ve unlocked the first elemental upgrade for your wonder weapon, DO NOT put the ammo on. If you have some other ammo type on your wonder weapon, the electrical upgrade step seems to get bugged, and you cannot discharge the energy from the yellow crystals into the ammo box.
- Always leave at least 2-3 zombies at the end when performing the easter egg or running around. If you leave any less they will die automatically on their own after some time, and the next round will start.
- During the boss fight, Megaton Orlov won’t get any damage from the swarming zombies IF you are playing solo. This means you can focus solely on your own survival. However, this does not mean that you shouldn’t save Megaton Orlov, always make sure he is clear of all zombies for him to progress through.
- Remember, always check for the “star” icon on your mini-map to know the location of your portals.
- For the tree spore step, it is not necessary to have the Megaton blast you with the radioactive beam. You can still trigger the spores even after the Megaton splits into Megaton Blasters.
