Dom's Beard Easter Egg


There's a secret Easter egg that allows everyone to have Dom's beard! It's a bit tricky, but not impossible.
First, a new game must be started on Insane mode. At the beginning of the dream sequence, follow Anya as usual until you get to the battle at the Phoenix estate.
Once there, stick as close to Dom as possible for the duration of the battle. A sign that you're doing it correctly will be Dom saying "Yo!" to you. For the rest of the battle, Dom will be squirming around and dodging in and out of cover. try your best to stay as close to him as possible.
After the dream sequence, wait for the cinematic of the raven crashing. Once Marcus wakes up, he will now be wearing Dom's beard! Every character in the game will have it from this point on. An interesting note to this Easter egg; characters in game will be wearing the beard until you die. Once you reload from a checkpoint, the characters outside of cinematics will lose their beard. Though, once a cinematic happens the characters will have their beards back, this time in their natural hair color (Anya has a blonde beard, Marcus has a black beard etc).

Sawed Off Chicken Arcade Game


In Act 4-1, make your way through the stage until you pass both the piano drop trap and the spinning machine gun trap. Keep left and around the corner and look for a building a with a tree growing in it and red graffiti that says "No Hope No Victory No Safty [sic]." By the graffiti is a window. Look through it and you can see a helmet in the distance among the rubble. Shoot this with your pistol and an explosion nearby will reveal a door into the building.  Inside is an arcade machine. You can kick this a few times using the prompt to play it!

The Giant, Fire-Breathing Golden Chicken



In Act 101, when you get to the deck area with the first COG Tag (you pass through this area twice to play the video clip), there are three large cylindrical pipes on the sides of the area. You can approach these and hit X to shout into them. Shout into all three to make a giant, fire-breathing golden chicken appear. Really.

How to Get the Cluckshot (Chicken Gun)


The Cluckshot is a special weapon that can be acquired in Act 4. There are a few easy steps to get this, but it can only be grabbed on Insane difficulty either alone or in co-op mode.
1 Start a new game in Act 4-1 and avoid all of the Ash people. 2 When you reach the tower, stop by the gated area before talking to Griffin for the first time. 3 Press X where the Chicken with the Pirate Hat is standing. 4 In Act 4-2, walk up to the car with ammo on it and watch it fall. 5 In Act 4-2, walk up to the ammo crate at the end of some railroad tracks. 6 In Act 4-3, walk up to an ammo crate on top of a box and a barrel. Press X and it should fall.
If done correctly, when the last ammo crate falls a chicken should fly up and drop off 4 "Cluckshots" for you.

Dom and Maria Photo and Audio Clip on Mercy

On Mercy, set up a game (preferably with a friend and no bots) and head to the chapel in the south. On a platform along the back wall under a stained-glass window holds a few books. The trigger for this Easter egg is the sound of bells tolling. This may happen randomly, but for the video below it happened at around the five minute mark (5:37 to be precise). A photo of [[Dominic Santiago]] and [[Maria Santiago]] will suddenly appear when the bells toll. Shoot this picture and you'll hear an audio clip of Dom crying.

Ticker Fight Hidden Cutscene


On Act 2 Chapter 4, Trench Run, when you enter the area with all of the Tickers in cages (the 'Pet Store') clear out all of the enemies and then look for a boarded up area with a Ticker painted on it by the entrance door.

Dancing Wretch on Checkout


Here are the steps to follow on the Checkout Map to make the Dancing Wretch appear.
1)    Pull the Fire Alarm (1) near Home Goods. This opens a box in the Electronics section.
2)    In the Electronics section, there's an open door with rubble behind it by all the TVs. Shoot the box that is now open on the other side of the doors. This makes a Fire Extinguisher appear. Grab it. This also sets another Fire Alarm on fire in the Pharmacy.
3)    In the Pharmacy area there's an exit area with large, gated doors to the outside. Extinguish the now-flaming Fire Alarm (2) here. This will trigger a Shopping Cart on the other side of the gated doors.
4)    Shoot the Red Hat in the Shopping Cart. It will blow up and reappear in an upper window between the Pharmacy and Checkout areas.
5)    Shoot the Red Hat in the window between the Pharmacy and Checkout areas. It will explode. This will set a car on fire near the green 'Closing Down Sale Everything Must Go' sign. Also, a scythe will appear in the hands of a mannequin to the left of the Flaming Car by the exit.
6)    Extinguish the Flaming Car and the Scythe will disappear from the mannequin's hands and the exit doors will close. The Scythe is now in the bathroom.
7)    Enter the bathroom and look on the ceiling for the Scythe. Shoot it and it will recede into the ceiling. Now a Flaming Microwave has ignited in the Electronics area.
8)    Extinguish the Flaming Microwave in the Electronics area. This will induce a nearby explosion behind the doors where you first got the Fire Extinguisher.
9)    Look through these doors to see the Dancing Wretch. Shoot it and only the hat will remain.
