Everyone has Dom's beard

Use the following trick to have all characters have Dom's beard, including non-playable characters. Start a new game on the Insane difficulty.

Note: You can still fight the Locust as long as your remain close to Dom. If done correctly, when the flashback ends, everyone will have Dom's beard for the rest of the game.

Giant golden chicken

In Act 1: Chapter 1 - Anchored, you will reach four giant tubes just after raising the landing pad on the top deck. After you kill all the enemies around the area, have Marcus stand in front of one of the pipe openings. Stare down the opening until Marcus says 'Hello', then repeat the same thing with the other three tubes. After Marcus says 'Hello' down all four tubes, a small chicken will appear. If you inflict significant damage on the little chicken, it will turn into a giant, golden, enraged, fire-breathing chicken (a.k.a. Lambent Chicken). If you inflict significant damage on the Lambent Chicken, it will then blow up into confetti, and Marcus will say a funny quote.

Vulcan Cannon for everyone in 'Bullet Marsh' map

Note: This trick requires the 'Versus Booster Map Pack' DLC. Play Horde mode without any Mutators in the 'Bullet Marsh' map. Shoot the generator controlling three light spots, and Kryll will begin to appear at three locations. Go to one of the three locations, and find the sword used by RAAM, then press X to take it. You will hear RAAM scream when you grab the sword. Do this at the other two locations, and a sword will appear next to the sniper rifle just outside of the Kryll location (not where the Kryll are located, because the sword you find there spawns in that location). After you collect the final sword, your character will fall to the ground, and a group of Kryll will circle around him. Your character will float, and a Vulcan Cannon will appear for everyone on the team.

Hear 'Mad World' instrumental during Gridlock in Multiplayer mode

Play a match in the Gridlock map with at least two round wins required to finish the match. Complete a round without anyone destroying any of the ash people inside the map. At the start of the next round, an instrumental piano version of 'Mad World' will play.

Additionally, when using the Mutator 'Comet', you are invincible while Roadie Running.

Easy Lambent Drone executions
