Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Get High mode has been a popular addition to the game, giving players a break from the intense action of regular matches in favor of a more relaxed parkour experience. However, as the 420 event comes to an end, a hidden Easter egg has only just been discovered.
As shown by Reddit user ‘HypnotoMan,’ the developers have included a secret area in the latter stages of the course that’s easy to miss. Inside, there’s a dark room containing nothing but a small television set and sofa. Perched on the sofa is a skeleton, blankly staring at the static on the TV.
Although the scene can’t be interacted with, Get High mode turns all bullets into cigarettes, so players can shoot the bony figure to place one in his hand. Given that Modern Warfare 3’s Get High playlist is about completing the course as quickly as possible, it’s no surprise that this Easter egg has gone unnoticed until now. The entrance is obscured by moving platforms, and most players will be focused on reaching the next checkpoint.
It isn’t clear at the time of writing if the skeleton is a reference to something in particular. Some fans have speculated that it could be a nod to the Avenged Sevenfold song ‘Nobody,’ as its music video starts with a man sitting in a chair before his skeleton leaves his body. The band has a long history with the Call of Duty series, having released multiple songs for use in Zombies maps, and vocalist M. Shadows even appeared in Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode as a playable character.
However, there is no confirmation just yet on whether this is actually an Avenged Sevenfold reference or just a funny Easter egg for players to find that isn’t tied to anything. The Modern Warfare 3 Get High mode is no longer available in multiplayer, as the Blaze Up event comes to an end, but fans will be hoping it returns so they can see this secret area for themselves. Only time will tell if the mode makes a comeback in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
