Battlefield 2042 Easter Eggs Compilation
Here's a compilation of known Easter Egg (EE) discoveries so far by the Battlefield community. Most of these were originally discovered by members of the BFEE community (you may need to join the Disc...

Several more have been added to the original post over the last few weeks or so, with a couple from today.
There are some more that are peculiar and are either unsolved or not known for sure if they're EEs. Here are a few of those unknowns:
1. On Revival (CQ Large E1) and Breakaway (CQ Large A1), at some of the warehouses, you'll see that the docking garages/spots are numbered 22, 23, 32, 33, 42, and 43. These are very arbitrary and one would think that the numbers would instead go from 1-7 (like on the parking spots just outside the garage on Revival), or some other common format (e.g. 1, 3, 5, etc.; 5, 10, 15, etc.). If you recall, the EMP grenade's QR code results in "2332" - are these two connected in any way? There's also "Tunnel 23" on the Crawlerway objectives on Orbital, if that's in any way related, too.
2. A US birth certificate for someone from NJ can be found on some of the storefront windows of Portal's Arica Harbor map (not found on the original BC2 map). The odd part is that it's completely in Italian. The state officials that are named are from IRL. The blacked out text may be there to refer to a specific dev who is of Italian descent... or does it refer to a lore mystery involving a character from NJ (e.g. Bad Company's Sweetwater)?
You may also notice a "Food Safety Summit" advertisement for 2019. Does this mean that the events in Bad Company 2 take place in 2019, which is one year prior to BF4 (War of 2020)? Technically, 2018 would still be possible, but 2019 seems to be it if that's the direct message. Is Bad Company 2 officially canon in the main Battlefield universe? Note - that's an IRL food safety summit that took place in 2019 in Houston, TX; in fact, all 12 of the papers posted on windows are exact copies of documents from IRL. They may all simply be mementos or personal references of devs' family/friends/events from home, or perhaps they're all randomly pulled from the 'net. Regardless, the random nature of them may have one wondering if there's anything more to them.
3. On Manifest, a number of shipping containers can be found with red lights on them. Some of those red light containers may be hazard-taped. Although this was discovered on the first day of early release, we haven't found anything more beyond that. That said, I feel that this may be the most compelling of the three listed here, and may prove to be something in the future.
