Four Easter Eggs?
I've noticed four "easter eggs" in the game so far?

#1) Before the Hazard Course, when you exit the tram, if you follow where the tram should go, there is a door you can knock on. In the old Hazard Course at the end of it there was also a door you could knock on with some odd programming code attached to it about a pattern of knocks. Is this an easter egg that was never implemented, or is it yet to be fully understood.

#2) On platform part where you need to turn the wheel to align it, there is a skull at the bottom of the pit. If you touch it you will catch fire until you use enough health kits at the top of the ladder. Is the skull used for anything further?

#3) In the room right before you get the crowbar, there is a puzzle room where you move crates to stack them to form a stair to reach the door to continue to the crowbar room. In this puzzle room there is a fork lift. I remember way back that someone looking at the screen shots said it would be "cool" to be able to drive the forklift and add a forklift simulator. After interacting with it for it for a bit, it turns out you can drive it and it unlocks a door. Inside the secret room is a sleeping houndeye. I've killed it with the skull from #2 before, but other than that, is there any use for it?

#4) Tacos. Hidden through out the level are tons of tacos. I'm never 10 feet from a hidden

I've found a headcrab and the purple hat in the shooting range if you shoot all of the crates.

I remember in the old version there was a body in the coolant tanks in the freezer section.

A radio was added to the guard room that plays a music track (the room where there are two turrets and you need to ask a security guard to open a door). I've always wondered what the vault failure message meant on the guard's monitor (but then again I've seen it reused again in the main game in some places).

Trans Pride flag in a closet :steamhappy:

Going over the Crates at the crowbar gets Special dialogue and a tip, plus breaking them after gets a line as well.

the water after the flashlight bit has a line.

Shooting the range Guards glass. theres a rat in the left of the range room.

from the looks of it, Guards are an infinite spawn if you trigger them.

ignore the Tram at the end and long jump to the finish.

I wish i had more to add :bms_headcrab: Good luck Hunters
Don't forget Dr. Yorick skull that sets you onfire

Also there is another "Easter egg".I don't know what exactly causes this to happen,it could be if you get a low amount of time,like 2 mins or below,at the end the scientists will say something like this "wow Gordon you got a new record again"with a monotone voice,then they will crouch,get set on fire,then they explode.I still have no idea what makes that happen.
what about the Five nights at Hazard Course easter egg map?

Given that FNaHC is a publicly-listed part of the Hazard Course package, and is directly accessible from the mod launch menu, I'm not sure I'd classify that as an easter egg.

I know I posted it in another thread but where is the "youreyesonly.pdf" that some people are talking about?

I heard there was a cypher to decode it as well, but I have no clue to where the document is found.

Does it shed any lore on the HL series?

Hmmm I extracted the pdf but when I open it in adobe, it says the file is damaged. I'm not sure if it is corrupted or if it is part of the encryption that I heard about it.

If you noclip through and beat it in two minutes or less, this happens. You burn to death shortly after (if the explosions don't kill you). Guess cheaters never prosper lol

Still looking for the knocking door and the flag
