Information and Introduction
This guide will cover the main Easter Egg of TranZit (Tower of Babblte). e.g. Song Easter Eggs (Teddy Bears, 115/935 song in MotD, etc.
Tower of Babble
Tower of Babble is the Main Easter Egg of TranZit. You do not require any DLC for this map to be playable, but you must have 4 participating players to complete the Maxis Easter Egg, but only 2 for the Richtofen Easter Egg.

For this Easter Egg, as well as 2 others (High Maintenance and Mined Games) - you may choose 2 ways to do this Easter Egg. You may follow Maxis or Richtofen. These 2 characters want you to complete 2 different, yet similar Easter Eggs.
Steps may vary depending on character path (Maxis, Richtofen), but most steps are generally under the same context.

Arguably, Maxis' path for this Easter Egg is easier in this particular Easter Egg.

Step 1 (Must be followed for both paths)
Turn on the Power by going to the power station.

The power station is the 4th of the 5 main stops in TranZit, and can be accessed for 750 points.
Once in the power station, you must find the 3 parts scattered inside the area. Those parts include a hand, a large circuit box (not to be confused with the circuit box for the NavCard table), and a lever. Once obtained, add parts to the construction bench in the power station.

Maxis Path
This is the Maxis variant of the Tower of Babble Easter Egg. Steps are provided below:

Step 2
Have at least 2 players obtain a Turbine. This can be built at the Bus Depot where you will spawn on Round 1. To build the turbine, you must find the 3 parts found inside of the Bus Depot: A fan, a tail and a mannequin.

Step 3
After turning on the power, Maxis will request for the power to be turned off again (as with the power on, this interrupts his communication with you). Wait for Maxis to finish his speech and then proceed to turn the power off.

Step 4
At this point, there should be at least 1 player with the EMP Grenades from the Mystery Box. You will need these for later steps in this Easter Egg.

Step 5
In between the Farm and the Power Station (in the mist), you must make your way to the Radio Tower within the cornfield. Travelling from the Farm, you must head in a Straight Route, then turn where the road takes you. There will be cornfields on each side, and you must travel through the left one, towards the Radio Tower. Once under the Pylon (Radio Tower), Denizens will be unable to reach you.

Step 6
Soon after waiting under the Pylon, Avogadro will spawn. Avogadro is an electric being who spawns after you turn the power on. Whether the power is kept on does not matter - he will spawn on TranZit after turning the power on, every few rounds.
At this point, players with Turbines must place them underneath the Pylon to let it heat up.

When Avogadro goes moves under the Pylon, Maxis will state "Finish Him Now", as an audio queue to kill Avogadro. The player with the EMP should now throw it on Avogadro - killing him. You may kill Avogadro in other ways (meleeing), but EMPing is the easiest method.

Step 7
2 Additional Players must now pick up Turbines from the Bus Depot and be ready to place them on the Street Lamps at the Bus Depot and the Diner, whilst the remaining 2 players should be ready to place them down under the Pylon.

Step 8
All players should place their Turbines at their given places from Step 7 at the same time.
Upon doing this, the achievement should be unlocked. This finishes the Easter Egg on Maxis Side.

Richtofen Path
Step 2
You now must build the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23, A.K.A the Jet Gun.
Parts for this are scattered across the map and it can be built in the Bar at the Town.

The First Part can be found in the Hunters Cabin, on a hill in between the Power Station and the Town.

The Second Part can be found at the Power Station. This part is not to be confused with the parts for the Electric Trap found in the same general area. The part needed for this is a batch of wires and can be found on a lower ledge, near/around the catwalk.

The Third Part can be found in the tunnel where the M16 wallbuy is - in between the Bus Depot and the Diner. This part is a large engine, and it not to be confused with the plank that may spawn in that area for the NavCard table.

The Fourth Part can be found in the building that resembles Nacht der Untoten, found in the right side of the cornfields inbetween the Farm and the Power Station.
You must go through a series of paths, and then find a slim path to reach the building.
The part can be found inside on the stairs, or in the debris.

Step 3
After building the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (Jet Gun), a player must take it (there can only be one).
That player must then go under the Pylon (Transmission Tower) which is opposite the building which resembles Nacht Der Untoten. The Pylon is located on the left side of the cornfield - and most (preferably all) players must go under it.

The player with the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 must now hold and blast/shoot it whilst under the Pylon to heat it up. After this, Richtofen will speak to Samuel (character of your crew) and notify him this step is done.

Step 4
Players must kill zombies under the Pylon using explosive weapons only. The Ray Gun (Ordinary Ray Gun, not Mark II) counts as an explosive, and is the most reccommended weapon to use nit his step.
Players should continue this step until the person on your crew playing as Samuel gets yelled at by Richtofen, being told that the Pylon's power is too high.

Step 5
You must now have at least 2 players with EMP Grenades which can be obtained by the Mystery Box. 4 players with EMP grenades is much easier than 2, however - but 2 is doable.

Step 6
Four EMP Grenades must be thrown at four different green lamp posts. These lamp posts can be identified by the green light now emitting electricity and are found all over the map. With four players, this is easily done by everyone throwing their EMP Grenades simultaneously at the lamp posts. However, with two or three players, it becomes slightly more complicated. For one player to throw two EMP Grenades at two lamps, they need to get a Denizen to make a teleporter under the lamp post (done by walking up to the lamp with a Denizen on them), then throwing one EMP on the current position, quickly jumping through the teleporter, and then throwing the second EMP. This method requires teamwork, luck, and both of the two EMP Grenades available.

Step 7
If Step 6 is completed correctly, the player playing as the character Samuel, will be happily greeted by Richtofen - signifying that the Easter Egg has been completed.

Upon this happening, the achievement for Tower of Babble should be unlocked.
