Apex Legendsplayers should definitely see this easter egg through to the end as it provides an interesting teaser into what is to come inApex Legends. Before getting started, it is highly recommended that players pick any high mobility Legend, such asOctane, to get across the maps quickly. Players attempting to do this easter egg solo should do so in the Duos playlist with Squad Fill turned off so as not to throw the match for any squadmates.
Getting the Corrupted Keycard:
To begin the mystery,Apex Legendsplayers will need to find a care package –Lifeline packagesdo not count – and open it. Each compartment should drop a small device called a ‘Corrupted Keycard’ to get the easter egg started. Every care package will drop keycards, so if players stumble upon a previously opened care package, it is still worth checking the ground around it for keycards.
Once players get back to the lobby, they will need to find the keycard that can now be found at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on it will cause some dialogue to start playing and the player will eventually be given some challenges to decrypt the passcode.
The challenges require players to scan three different Holo-Sprays onOlympusand Kings Canyon. The Holo-Sprays that players are looking for are orange rings with an inverted Apex Games logo in the middle. There are lots of these holograms scattered around the two maps, but players only need to scan six in total.
Scanning Holo-Sprays on Olympus:
To scan a Holo-Spray, players just need to get close to it and follow the button prompt. Players will know it has been scanned astheir Legendwill pull out a small device which briefly flashes the percentage progress of decrypting the passcode.
Courtesy of theApex LegendsFandom Wiki, these are all the possible locations for the Holo-Sprays onOlympus:
When looking for the holograms on Olympus, players should also use theTridentsto get around as quickly as possible. One good area to find the holograms is the southwest corner where Hydroponics and Elysium are. There is one hologram under a bridge and near a small water stream in Hydroponics.
Another around some containers northeast of Elysium. It is also near where the Trident spawns in that area.
And one in one of the top floor buildings in the middle of Estates.
Scanning Holo-Sprays in Kings Canyon:
These are all the possible locations for the Holo-Sprays inKings Canyon, thanks to theApex LegendsFandom Wiki:
One good area for finding the holograms quickly is Artillery and the surrounding areas. There is one hologram on the left tower of the south wall in Artillery.
Another one can be found directly south of the last one wedged between a tree trunk and the cliff wall.
And one can be found under the most northerly building in Containment.
Once players have scanned any three Holo-Sprays on both maps, players will have another new challenge waiting for them when they get back to the lobby.
Entering the Passcode in the Firing Range:
For the final challenge, players need tohead to the firing rangealone and input the passcode. Once players load into the firing range, they should head down the hill and towards the landing pad that is near all the shooting targets. There is a panel on the pad that players need to activate.
A dropship will fly into the area and hover near the pad once the panel has been activated. Players should walk up to the dropship to embark and they will then be quickly flown to a new location. Without spoiling the rest, players just need to head through a tunnel and activate another panel to reach the finale of the easter egg.Horizon playerswill also get slightly different dialogue during the finale. Once players are returned to the lobby, they will get an exclusive badge as a reward.
Apex Legendsis available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
