The arcade machine, like many other easter eggs in Halo Infinite, is in Zeta Halo primarily to entertain players. The arcade machine is easy to miss, especially because it is located near Outpost Tremonius, an area that most players don’t instantly explore because they are eager to get on with the story. The easter egg is there, though, and well worth the discovery.

How to Find the Arcade Machine Easter Egg
The arcade machine easter egg is hidden in a small bunker-like room near Outpost Tremonius. And, unlike complicated easter eggs like the one in the House of Reckoning, the machine is easy to access and is purely for entertainment. After players have cleared the outpost of enemies, when Echo-216 has arrived and is prepared to fly players to the next object, they have the opportunity to find the easter egg in Halo Infinite.
Instead of getting into Echo-216’s pelican, players should head back down the hill toward the small building at the back of the valley. Behind the building, there is a split in the rocks which players can follow to a small forerunner doorway. The door is embedded in the rock wall, and once players enter they will see, in the center of the room, the arcade machine.
The arcade machine is Halo Infinite-inspired. The back of the machine bears the words, ‘This is madness,’ and the machine plays the Halo theme music. The room in which the easter egg is hidden has a few powerful weapons that can help players progress through the next phases of the Halo Infinite campaign. While some easter eggs in the campaign are helpful for players, such as weapons or vehicles that can be used against powerful enemies, the arcade is one that is purely for entertainment.
Whether it be an arcade machine or a giant sandwich praised by Infinite’s grunts, 343 Industries has littered its new title with fun new things to find. The severity of the campaign has not been lost on players, and the next phase of Master Chief’s journey will certainly be riddled with hardship. It’s nice, therefore, to see some lighthearted content in Halo Infinite. It shows 343i’s dedication to its newest title and gives players a reason to more thoroughly explore the world of Zeta Halo.
Halo Infinite is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
