Easy Onyx medal and XP

To get an easy Onyx medal and lots of XP quickly in Single Player mode, open a door 200 times to get the Doorman Onyx medal. Locate a double door that requires two players to interact with to open. If one player keeps interacting with the door, it will count towards the medal’s score. This trick must be done with two players, as it will not count with an AI player. Have two controllers plugged in, log into a separate account with the second controller, and play in split-screen. A double door can be found early in the game. Load Chapter 1: Section 1, and continue forward until you reach a double door. Have player two wait while player one keeps opening the door by pressing X. You should earn the medal within 10 minutes.

Secret rooms in Library map

In the Library map in Multiplayer mode, after entering the upper library room called “Fountain”, look left to see a large window. There is a bookcase to the left of the window with a glowing book. Interact with the glowing book in the bookcase to open a secret passage leading up to a room behind the large clock. It contains the One Shot and a good vantage point for sniping enemies. There is also a window you can use to watch the entrance to the secret room to protect it. This room can be well protected from enemies with two teammates.

In the Library map in Multiplayer mode, start in the Main Hall, and look up to locate the large clock. Go up the stairs on the right, and then turn right again to see a couple of bookcases. Interact with the glowing book in the bookcase to open a secret passage leading to a room with an Incendiary Grenade.

Bucketheads Easter Egg

Load Section 5: Straight To The Top in the Aftermath campaign. Climb the stairs, and fight through the Oneshot snipers. During the shootout, look in one of the windows in the top left to see a bucket in the window. Shoot the bucket. Later in the mission, you will fight more enemies arriving by grappling hooks. Once the Locust have been killed, the team will climb down through a collapsed floor, and you will be able to explore an office with a secret door. In the entrance hall to the office, shoot the smiley-face bucket on the head of a dead Locust. The final bucket is found in a room with a TV showing static. Shoot the bucket that is to the left of the TV. Then, go up the stairs to the roof where Baird cuts open the doors. On the rooftops, the Locust will now be wearing smiley-face and frowny-face buckets on their heads. One of the team will yell, “Oh… what the hell is going on here?” to which Baird groans “Ugh, Easter Eggs!”

Skywriting Easter Egg

During the “Dead End” mission in the Aftermath campaign, climb the stairs to reach the top of the facility. Proceed until you have to climb through a window to exit an office. Once on the metal walkway, look to the right to find a Longshot next to the railing. Take the Longshot, and aim it at end the end of the large crane visible in the distance. Shoot the small figure sitting on the end of the crane, and a flying Reaver will write the word “Hi” in the sky.
