Sledgehammer Games teases giant rubber duck easter egg in Modern Warfare 3’s Bait map

An Easter Egg that will make you quack.

If you’ve been exploring Modern Warfare 3’s Multiplayer maps, you may have stumbled upon the adorableness of the rubber duck collection. Although they are primarily just for show, Sledgehammer Games has hinted at a new Easter Egg, spawning a colossal-sized rubber duck for the world to see.

In the post, Sledgehammer Games offers a few hints, including the phrase, “Two foes meet where photo frame a win.” Call of Duty players were quick to decipher the puzzle, pointing toward the display in MW3 Season 5’s Bait map. It wasn’t long until they discovered the giant duck Easter Egg, as it spawns in the ocean nearby.

Even though it’s pretty easy to spot the photo frame display, a few other requirements are still needed. YouTuber DANNYonPC was one of the first to discover this, where they utilized the Operators Captain Price and Makarov. Considering their tumultuous history, the two characters correlate to the “two foes” hint mentioned earlier. You can then set yourself up for a picture-like shot by putting their faces inside the holes of the frame display, thus spawning little ducks to shoot.

I never thought I would see Price and Makarov interact in such a friendly way, but it sure is a welcome surprise. And it gets even better when the big boy appears in the ocean to commemorate this unlikely duo. However, if you want to do it yourself (with another player), your team must quickly shoot the smaller ducks near the photo display to uncover the Easter Egg.

More Call of Duty Easter Eggs are undoubtedly in the works now that the Black Ops 6 beta is almost here. I, for one, am looking forward to the ones in the upcoming Zombies mode, which has been known for its monumental Easter Eggs. Who knows? Maybe it’ll spawn in a giant zombie duck.
