There are several different means to unlock it, and one of them tin can take just a few moments. Others are a fiddling more involved, so read our guide on how to unlock the RAI K-84. We'll update this guide when we learn how to unlock the RAI K-84 in tandem with the Easter egg. Otherwise, read on for the next steps in the Easter egg.

Office iv: Gassing Peck with truth serum

Once the Pack-A-Punch is operational, the next thing you'll need to do is render to Mission Command in Omega Base. Use the intercom system to talk to Doctor Peck, who yous'll come across locked in a room with a large glass window. Peck will tell you to shove information technology, so your adjacent step is to return to the Atrium and come across what Ravenov thinks can be done to go him to talk. He suggests gassing Peck'due south room with a handy dose of truth serum.

Truth serum locker locations

Ravenov will then requite yous an ID Card, which you need to use on three lockers, each of which is belongings the compounds required to arts and crafts the truth serum. The first locker is located nearby in Equipment Storage. One time yous've got the first compound, caput back to Omega Base.

How to create the truth serum

With all iii compounds in hand, head to the Field Hospital and interact with the Chemical Mixer to build the Agent Delivery Arrangement canister to disperse the truth serum gas. Be careful; this will spawn some nasty hellhounds, then ensure you've got the necessary firepower to deal with them before initiating this step.

Once you've grabbed the Amanuensis Commitment System canister, make your fashion dorsum to the upper level of Mission Control--only before the doorway leading to the Collector point you run into when you offset unlocked the door to get inside. Tucked abroad in a corner is an area called the OPC, which has an air conditioner vent where you can insert the Agent Commitment Organization. With that inserted, the gas will start pumping into Peck's office. Observe him back at mission control to get some answers.

Here's the air conditioner vent tucked away at the OPC.

Role 5: Trapping Mimic Retentivity Essence

At present that Peck has fully inhaled the truth serum gas, he will tell y'all to head to the Data Heart to think some Memory Essence Traps. These traps demand to be used on three Mimic enemies disguised as inanimate objects only; standard Mimics that spawn in a given round will non piece of work. These unique Mimics are generally establish in the Motor Puddle, Hamlet, and other areas around the map.

To trap a disguised Mimic, trigger it out of its camouflage and whittle away at its health with all the firepower yous got. Once the Mimic is weakened, set the trap and activate it by pressing the reload button twice once they're on peak of it. Don't stick around to watch the blitheness, though, as y'all'll want to stay on the move as the zombies will exist attacking you while you're trying to go this done. If you mess upwards, you tin e'er get back to the data middle and grab some other trap.

How frequently you encounter disguised Mimics is mostly random, every bit only one disguised mimic will generally spawn in a given round--if at all. Hopefully, yous've expanded your arsenal by now with the RAI K-84 and others, as you'll exist needing the extra firepower to deal with the zombie waves you'll be likely to meet while attempting to spawn the bearded mimics.

Make sure the Mimic is on top of the trap before activating it.

Regardless, once you collect the third and final disguised Mimic essence, head back to the Information Heart to retrieve a floppy disk.

Part half dozen: Opening the OPC and activating the portal

Caput to the Planning Offices and insert the disk into the quantum mainframe computer. This opens a portal at the top of the stairs just exterior of the planning offices (aka the OPC). The portal will assist y'all accomplish your objective, but it, unfortunately, does not have enough power. You demand to caput back to Peck for more than assistance.

The portal needs more power.
The portal needs more power.

When y'all chat with Peck, he will tell you that you need three Aetherium crystals to power the portal. Ravonov tells y'all that you'll need to dig them upwardly using a shovel and a special Aetherium Meter. The shovel you need is found in the Scorched Criminal offense area within a motel, and the Aetherium Meter is in the locker to the left of Peck's window in Mission Control--which you can open with the code Ravanov gives you. With the shovel and meter in hand, it's time to dig up some crystals.

You can find the shovel in the Scorched Offense area.

When y'all try picking upwards a faux i, some mimics will spawn, and then be careful. Regardless, once you notice the correct crystal, observe the nearest Aether reactor and insert it to boost its power.

Jungle Defense Area

The adjacent Aetherium crystal tin be found in the Jungle Defense Expanse. Be careful for this once because as soon as you dig it upwardly, a moving ridge of enemies (including hellhounds) will spawn. This crystal will besides form a bulwark dome that you need to stay within its boundaries. If you effort to exit the dome, you'll first to take damage, so become prepare for some close-quarters combat. Once you've cleared out the incoming enemies, similar earlier, bring the crystal to the nearby Aether Reactor and insert it for more power. I more than to go!

Once this crystal surfaces, it'll move around and exist impossible to grab by regular means. However, using the RAI K-84'southward secondary firing way (pressing upward on the d-pad) can keep the crystal locked in one place. Only make sure not to get likewise close to the crystal, or else information technology'll disappear. Once you've stopped it, though, yous'll be able to pick it upward. Again, bring the crystal to the nearby Aether Reactor to fully power the OPC. Caput to dorsum the OPC to check on the portal'south power levels.

Part 7: Allign the satellite

When you lot arrive at the OPC, Peck reveals that the crystals did non work, and the portal will shut again. You'll and so hear a new radio manual from the requiem team, who tell you lot to head to a calculator in the Planning Offices to activate the portal via satellite.

Mark the question mark on the computer screen with your on-screen aiming dot.

Make your style there, and yous'll find the figurer mentioned in a higher place. Collaborate with information technology, and using the d-pad, marshal the small on-screen aiming dot on to a point on the map marked with a "?" symbol. This takes a few seconds, so make sure there aren't any zombies nearby to pester yous.

Once you find and activate the correct location, the satellite volition target the base of operations and generate enough ability for the portal. At this point, if yous have plenty salvage, now would be a good time to craft an airstrike, stun grenades, and other lethals and tacticals. You're going to need them for the intense fight alee.

With all the necessary preparations fabricated, head to the OPC and apply the computer on the right-hand side to activate the portal. A cutscene will play, and you'll find Samantha Maxis. Using the portal, the squad heads back to the hamlet but soon discovers a big monster known as The Orda has spawned to wreak havoc just before your escape.

If you managed to hit The Orda with an airstrike, you'll whop off half its health.
If you lot managed to hit The Orda with an airstrike, you'll whop off half its health.

In our experience, we constitute information technology easiest to hit The Orda with an airstrike, as doing so takes away half of its wellness. Unfortunately, the Orda is non marked, so utilize your best judgment to estimate its location. If you're nearly the jeep (yellow marker), The Orda can be institute to your left on-screen.

Otherwise, Stuns, Monkey Bombs, and your special ability will all come in handy here to distract the enemies away from yous equally you focus fire on The Orda. So long as yous keep at information technology, y'all'll drop this behemoth in no time.

Aim the RAI K-84 at The Orda's mouth for the most optimal damage.
