20 Clever Video Game Easter Eggs You Didn't Understand

Battlefield 2042’s secret easter egg is perhaps the smallest little detail on this list, but at the same time, this is exactly what makes it so clever.

In the game, your character runs around with cutting-edge gear, but even the most advanced equipment of 2042’s not-so-distant future setting cannot fully protect a soldier from the elements.

Battlefield 2042 comes with a dynamic weather mechanic. At the time of its release, the feature was heavily advertised for its extreme weather events that can spawn a tornado on certain maps, but the dynamics of the environment can also manifest themselves with more subtle conditions, such as rain.

The rain effect in the game adds a nice glistening effect to everything around you, but it also comes with a small hidden detail. If you leave your character standing around in the rain idly for a couple of minutes, the soldier will eventually start sneezing as the cold water is slowly making them catch a cold.

The sneezing sound effect only happens when you stand in rain, so it’s been deliberately added to make idling in cold weather feel a little more realistic. And that’s why this subtle sneeze is all the more appreciated.
