A rare reload animation was discovered after Update 4.0 went live:
@SterlingARCH3R Reminds me of Hardline for some reason.
On HZ, when data drive satellites crash down, you may hear the following quotes below. These may simply be a rare RNG audio EE that plays, or perhaps there's more to them.

34. "-420" when you die in a big vehicle
When you and your large vehicle gets destroyed, during the kill cam, a "+ -420" HP status will flash very quickly. It's not clear what the exact meaning behind it is, as you're not as "high" in ground vehicles as you are in aircrafts, though you're definitely "wasted" when you die (yet that would also be true of specialists on foot and in smaller vehicles).
@SterlingARCH3R This little hidden factoid could explain a lot about the current state the game because 420 is a slang for marijuana use, cannabis celebrations on April 20th, and/or just smoking it around 4:20 p.m. I guess it could give a whole new meaning to when you get “wasted/smoked” by someone in game. OMG! I my tank was just 420ed - LoL!
37. Canal Blocker charm
Tier 27 of Season 1 is the Canal Blocker charm. This is an IRL reference to the "Ever Given" Evergreen ship that blocked the Suez Canal on 23 March 2021, and subsequently brought global trade to a halt.

I found a hidden drone control on Arica Harbor. It will launch a drone equipped with Laser Guided Missiles and a machine gun.
42. "Lars" the baby penguin-orca hybrid
This strange hybrid animal was spotted in a penguin colony on Breakaway. We know this to be a baby based on the hint provided by DICE senior dev Niklas Astrand's Tweet: https://twitter.com/NiklasAstrand/status/1476900668099239939. It's an RNG EE and it appears that the odds of finding it were increased significantly starting with Season 1. The video and images of the strange sighting can be found below:

This one's an honorable mention, which is similar in vein to the Arica Harbor documents and signs. On each of the maps, you may come across a pile of papers, with a header on the top paper that reads "Spotting Errors". It turns out that this is an exact copy of the English competency portion of the 2013 Indian CDS exam for officers and Academy applicants IRL.
