79. Sharknado, Part 2
As concluding details for the shark EE, you will need to interact with the laptops in the sequence 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, and 3, respectively, from left to right. I.e. press the first laptop, then the third laptop, then the second laptop, then the third laptop, then the first laptop, and finally the third laptop.
You will then see the buoy with a blinking light above it, flashing a message in Morse code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m5xbLul3N0

The message reads as: "Honor Frank".
This is a hint referring to Franky the Shark, one of four plushie toy characters, which is a Battlefield reference in the Dead Space (2023) game. Those plushie toys could also be picked up within BF2042 as part of a different, previous EE unlock on the Redacted map, which once completed, rewarded the player with the "Franky the Shark" charm. This charm must be equipped on the primary weapon by the player performing the kills in the next step.
Next, at least 3 kills (or "sacrifices") via a takedown melee must take place in the water right by the sign. Once again, the player performing the takedown kills must have the "Franky the Shark" charm equipped on their primary weapon. Note: if you don't have the charm unlocked yet, then you could pick up a dead player's weapon that already has it attached and perform takedowns that count toward this EE.
Once three takedown sacrifices are made successfully, lightning will strike the buoy and a tornado will form right off the coast and approach closer... with several sharks caught inside--a sharknado!

Players killed by a melee takedown in the water are considered as "sacrifice", and will receive the "Shark Bait" tag. An unlock message should appear on your screen when the sacrifices are complete. Note that these melee kills must be done prior to the lightning strike. And, only up to the first three sacrificed players will be able to unlock the tag.

Once the Shark Bait tag is unlocked, the Morse code on the buoy will change and read as: "WE SHALL RISE".

Here are a few small ones...
81. Willys Jeep Dev Initials & Dates
On the BF1942 Willys Jeep in Portal, there are letters and numbers at each corner of the bumpers totaling four. These appear to be initials and birth years, possibly of the devs involved in Portal or perhaps more specifically on the Willys Jeep creation.
23. "Fatburen" on HZ Resupply Stations & Strike Team Mode Objective Crate
In the S7 limited edition Strike Team mode, there's a small plaque on the crate with the laptop that each team must cap. It's unclear what exactly the message is, but it may include some of the Battlefield franchise titles. "Fatburen" and "Stockholm" is the location of DICE HQ in Sweden.
It reads as:
Fatburen
Stockholm 23442
234234.234V.1

82. Scanned Deer Skull
Ludwig Lindstål, 3D Artist at EA DICE, made a 3D scan of a deer skull and immortalized it into the BF2042 game on the Reclaimed map. He was also the main 3D artist for the Reclaimed map. You can find one of the deer skulls without antlers on the USA side near the out of bounds area (to the right from the US side looking towards the rest of the map), atop a tree trunk within a dilapidated shack/shed. A second deer skull but with antlers can be found near objective B1."Photoscan and game ready asset of a deer skull. My grandfather was a hunter and he shot this deer some 40 years ago, somewhere in the southern forests of Sweden, it has begun to fall apart so I thought it would be nice to scan it to preserve it indefinitely."Image credit: Ludwig LindstålImage credit: Batman William - SterlingARCH3R2 years agoHero
83. Sacrifice
A player card unlock was discovered on the new "night" version of the Battle of the Bulge map. At the church on objective D, there's a fire circle. Perform 3 takedowns on an enemy within this fire circle, and the "Sacrifice" player card is yours.
