Unlocking “Remember Us”: The Reckoning Easter Egg Song Guide
To trigger the “Remember Us” Easter egg song, you must find and interact with three hidden Mr. Peeks-themed headphones scattered throughout the Reckoning map. These headphones are easily identifiable by their vibrant blue color and the adorable, fuzzy bunny ears reminiscent of the Mr. Peeks plush toy. The order in which you find these headphones doesn’t matter, and you can collect them at any point during your match.
The Core Mechanic: Interacting with the Headphones
Once you’ve located a set of the Mr. Peeks headphones, approach them and interact using the designated button:
- PlayStation: Press Square
- Xbox: Press X
Upon successfully interacting with all three sets, the “Remember Us” Easter egg song will begin to play, immersing you in the chilling atmosphere of Reckoning.
Locating Mr. Peeks Headset #1: Mutant Research Lab
- Starting Point: Begin in the initial spawn room.
- Ascend to the Lab: Take the elevator leading up to the Mutant Research Lab area.
- Locate the Fallen Zombie: The first set of headphones is located near a dead zombie lying on the floor.
- Cryo Chamber Landmark: The body is situated close to a cryo chamber containing a Disciple floating inside. This visually distinct feature serves as an excellent landmark to pinpoint the headphone location.
- The Exact Spot: The zombie is lying near the base of the cryo chamber, slightly to the left as you approach it from the elevator. Look closely, as the blue headphones can blend in with the surrounding environment.
A Detailed Look at the Mutant Research Lab Headphone Location
The Mutant Research Lab is a large, multi-tiered area, so careful navigation is essential. After exiting the elevator, head straight forward and slightly to the right. You should see the cryo chamber with the Disciple clearly visible. The dead zombie, and the first set of Mr. Peeks headphones, are almost directly in front of the chamber. Make sure to check all corners of the room, as the location can sometimes be obscured by environmental debris or other players. Remember that zombies will continue to spawn in this area, so be prepared to defend yourself while searching for the headphones.
Locating Mr. Peeks Headset #2: Dark Aether Entity Containment
- Follow the Pack-a-Punch Route: Proceed along the established path leading towards the Pack-a-Punch machine.
- Anti-Grav Personal Launcher: Utilize the Anti-Grav Personal Launcher to reach the Android Assembly area within Tower 2.
- Another Elevator Ride: Take the elevator within Android Assembly to ascend further.
- Enter Containment: Progress through the doorway into the Dark Aether Entity Containment area.
- Drop to the Lower Section: Carefully drop down into the lower portion of the containment area.
- The Seated Zombie: The second set of headphones is found on a zombie sitting in a chair within this lower section.
Navigating the Dark Aether Entity Containment Area
The Dark Aether Entity Containment area is a complex, vertical space. After entering, proceed with caution as the drop to the lower section can inflict damage if not performed correctly. Look for a clear path down, avoiding any hazardous obstacles.
The seated zombie with the headphones is typically located near the center of the lower section, against one of the walls. It is sitting upright in a chair. Eliminate any immediate zombie threats before attempting to interact with the headphones. The lighting in this area can be dim, making the headphones harder to spot. Consider adjusting your game’s brightness settings or using a flashlight to improve visibility.
Locating Mr. Peeks Headset #3: Director’s Office
- Continue the Pack-a-Punch Route: Persist along the Pack-a-Punch route.
- Enter the Director’s Office: Make your way into the Director’s Office. This is typically accessed via a connecting corridor.
- Search the Cabinet: The final set of headphones is located inside a cabinet on a shelf behind the Director’s desk.
- Behind the Desk: The cabinet is directly behind the large desk, making it relatively easy to locate once you’re inside the office.
Securing the Final Headset in the Director’s Office
The Director’s Office is a relatively small, enclosed space, making it a potential hotspot for zombie activity. Clear the room of any immediate threats before focusing on the cabinet.
The cabinet is clearly visible behind the Director’s desk. The headphones are placed on a shelf within the cabinet. Simply approach the cabinet and interact with the headphones to collect the final piece of the Easter egg.
Once you’ve interacted with this third set of headphones, the “Remember Us” song will begin to play, signaling your successful completion of the Easter egg.
“Remember Us”: The Haunting Melody of Reckoning
“Remember Us,” performed by Kevin Sherwood and Elena Siegman, is a chilling and atmospheric track that perfectly complements the dark and intense setting of the Reckoning map. The song is a must-hear for any dedicated Zombies fan and adds another layer of depth to the Black Ops 6 experience.
Important Considerations and Troubleshooting
- One Attempt Per Match: You can only complete this Easter egg and trigger the song once per match. If you fail or disconnect, you’ll need to start a new match to try again.
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: While the Easter egg can be completed solo, it’s often easier with a team. Coordinate with your teammates to cover different areas and ensure that no headphone location is overlooked.
- Double-Check Your Work: After interacting with a headphone set, briefly pause to ensure that the interaction was registered. If you’re unsure, try interacting again just to be safe.
- Audio Issues: If the song doesn’t play after collecting all three headphones, check your game’s audio settings to ensure that music is enabled. If the problem persists, try restarting your game.
- Zombie Aggression: Remember that zombies will continue to spawn throughout the map while you’re searching for the headphones. Be prepared to defend yourself and prioritize survival.
- Visual Confirmation: Confirm that you have interacted with all 3 headsets before thinking its bugged or broken, so double check to make sure.
