I have no clue what you're talking about lol. I never noticed.

rickbuh wrote I swear it has to do with whatever is fossilized in the ice near spawn

I was saying something about that too, it looks like a rocket of some sort in the ice,for those who dont know where this is, it is at the spawn where you first start on the FAR left of quick revive, you have to stand in water to get a good look at it, its little etchings into the wall making some sort of picture, mayhbe we have to shoot it with something, i tryed shooting it with the wonderwaffe DG-2 but nothing happened, then again i never tryed a combination of guns used like the easter egg in ascension, maybe we need a combo of weapon shots or something

Have you tried anything else with the gold rod?
