Are there any other Easter Eggs aside of the Yeti repair bots available in-game while the private servers are all go? 

 

[nokari]

That's not really an easter egg. That's more like an exploit, considering you could have gotten the bot just by regularly playing during a holiday.

 

As far as easter eggs go, at one point (I don't believe it still exists) there was a hidden photo of the ADH dev team that could only be seen from getting outside the Frontline map.

 

If you get outside the Wreckage map, there's a hidden mech you can find towards the back of the two EU stations. The upper portion of that area is also made from part of a giant Vanguard.

 

Also outside the Wreckage map is a swimming sasquatch: 

 

There's a tiny sasquatch you can see running through the forest outside Last Eco:

The jingle repair bot isn't an easter egg.

 

An Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in a work such as a computer program, video game, movie, book, or crossword puzzle. The name has been said to evoke the idea of a traditional Easter egg hunt

 

Now that we all know what an easter egg actually is in regards to a video game...

 

Last Eco:  https://www.playhawk...e/maps/last-eco

Outside of the map near S1, if you stay near it long enough looking north/north-west, you can see a yeti walking by just inside the tree line (it's unconfirmed if it's marvin or not)

 

Wreckage: https://www.playhawk...e/maps/wreckage

North of S1, there is a yeti swimming outside of the map (I believe it's doing the backstroke)

 

From what I've seen elsewhere in the forum, Front Line or Prosk has a picture of the original dev team hidden behind a building outside of the map as well.  That one I don't know where it's located.

By "Vanguard you can find" you mean viewed right? not obtained?

[cassini08]

Oh, um, I do mean stuff that can be obtained in game eg Yeti Bots. But the Easter Eggs are interesting too, so, keep em coming! :)

I couldn't find it in that area, but maybe someone else has recently.

Correct. it's just a free standing mech that looks old and decrepit.

You mean limited time-only content?

There's only a few easter eggs we know of. Everything else is just normal content, but besides the private server exploit to get the Jingle Bell repair droid, there aren't any others I've heard of.

Sasquatch in HAWKEN? That is definitely going into my screenwrite.

The pictures in Front Line are just outside of the map by S3, and yes, they are still there.

Spoiler

I think I may have been one of the first to discover these pictures because when I posted on the old forums about them, the old community managers said they had no idea they were even there.

there are references to pokemon in prosk if you look on the little signs hanging from buildings: e.g

pls confirm

[CrimsonKaim]

There are a couple of easter eggs ingame, hard to find tho. :]

[LaurenEmily]

There's these things on Facility map that kinda look like the Flak-cannon.

You can also stand on top of them.

[PepeKenobi]

I've found a couple myself. But I won't tell you on which map, where nor when...

 It still exists

Edit: oops, Hubba beat me to it. He was the one to show it to me anyway.

I think those might actually be extra large flak cannons. I remember reading an interview with Khang Le where he said something to the effect of them reusing weapons within the maps themselves. Found it. "Even our weapons get thrown into the building architecture sometimes"
