Find the Easter Egg Inside SATR

What is an Easter Egg you ask? No, it is not the chocolate treat or the pretty Faberge egg. 

This type of Easter Egg is a harmless surprise secreted somewhere in a video game or within live-action gaming system software.

The tradition of hiding little secrets for gamers to find is as old as the medium itself.

Most everyday users are unaware Easter eggs exist.

Games Radar, for example, lists the best Easter Eggs of all time.

Sometimes, an Easter Egg is just a funny character moment or a memorable bit of absurdity. 

Other times, you'll get a few mind-bending plot secrets for your troubles. 

Or the Easter Egg might be a homage to the developers of the game.

Previous versions of the Apple Macintosh SE secreted an image of the computer's development team hidden away in the ROM, all you had to do was hit the debug button and then type 'G 41D89A' to discover it.

Can You Find The Easter Egg in SATR3?

There is a way to discover the easter egg in the latest SATR3 software.

Set your taggers to the Royale Language scheme. This is the default after any Battlefield Royale theme reset. For the Simple and Full Controllers, they have a menu called Phrases. 

If you select results and scroll to C/Purple Team, they will hear your voiceover saying “Purple Team is Victorious!” 

Guess who the voice actor is! 

Here's how to find the SATR easter egg in SATR2

1. Turn on with the key (1/4 clockwise)
2. Make sure the laser tag gun is in "unlocked" mode. (The Easter Egg won’t pop up if you are in the Locked OUT laser tag mode.) If you have SATR2 or SATR3 on the boot screen you will see “Copyright BattlefieldSports.com” and then it will automatically change to the Welcome Screen. (If you have earlier versions of SATR you’ll automatically see the Welcome Screen.) 
3. The Welcome Screen will show a variety of info depending on which Gun Class this unit is currently set to. If you are in the Sub-Machine Gun Class you will likely see FN90 on the first line, this is the weapon emulation that this unit was set to last time it was booted up.
4. If your Gaming Gun is currently set to a rifle or handgun or Machine Gun then press the black (right) button once. The “Gun Reset” screen set will show.
5. Click the trigger 5 times until you see the “Select Class” screen.
6. Press the black button until you see “Sub Machine Gun” Then to select that and start the laser tag gun pull the trigger a few times (approx. 13). 
7. If you go one too far you’ll hear “Mission Start”. You’ll need to turn the gaming gun off and then on again and follow the steps below. Press the red (left) button once. The screen will show “Difficulty” options. Click past this by pulling the trigger once.
8. The Laser Tag Gun will automatically start the Weapon Emulation Commentary about the P90. There are 69 Weapon Emulation Commentaries one for each of the SATR weapons. These are professional studios recorded by actors in English but with appropriate ethnic accents. For example, the Uzi commentary is voiced by an Israeli actor the MP5 is voiced by a German actor, and the P90 is voiced by a Belgium actor. 
9. Now here’s the Easter Egg. Once the P90 audio file starts, click the red button 7 times to click through the next 7 weapons. You will select the Sten Mark II Sub-Machine Gun.

When you listen to the Sten Gun commentary you might ask… who’s voice is that? 

 Give the Sten Gun emulation a try. It's a tough British gaming gun!
