  • Although in Vondell, players will find four separate locations for finding the chess pieces, the locations can differ in different games. However, one of the spawn locations can appear truly rewarding for the player as it will offer easy completion.
  • Players need to get really close to the chess pieces if they wish to start the Easter Egg. However, the pieces will automatically light up without any touch.
  • Turning back on the chess pieces does not seem a great option. This is because once lit up, the chess pieces will follow the players!

  • Players have to maintain a slow but steady pace. They need to complete all the tasks in order. Rushing to complete any of this might end up with the piece hitting the player and restarting the puzzle again. 
  • Players have to finish the tasks and guide the piece back to its place on the chessboard. It will start a ritual and the secret challenge of the Easter Egg will finally unlock for the player. 
  • Successful completion of the challenge will bring an exclusive ward for the player. Yes! On completing it, they will receive a” Checkmate” weapon charm. How cool is that?
  • There can be many players trying to opt for the same challenge at the same time. So, it is better to look out for other players so that they can’t block the chess piece’s movements.

Not just the weapon charm, but Activision is also offering a weapon blueprint reward for completing another Easter Egg. With all these secret challenges, CoD players will finally find a meaningful way to come back to Modern Warfare 2’s gameplay.
