So with the new map coming out I wanted to go into a custom game to figure out how I could set up for Cypher, but while I was doing this I came across a bunch of cool little things hidden around the map so I thought I'd share.
First, on A site and attacker spawn I saw some background stuff for what seems to be a samurai.
The samurai is on the third screen in attacker spawn. The right screen is an image for "Experiment X011" a player card we got in the Act II Battle Pass, I'm pretty sure its a teaser for their agent "Frost". The middle screen is what seems to be the layout of a map, although it doesn't fit any of the current maps out. But going back to the samurai, I think this is a teaser for a new agent, as it might be related to the "Secret Lineage" player card from the Act III battle pass, as it shows what seems to be a cyber/tech samurai/oni mask. They could be unrelated but its my current theory.

Speaking of maps, I also found on some other screens around Icebox, a map of Haven. Unsure if these are just filler images or if they're intended to mean something, maybe Kingdom Corp has their eyes on Haven?
Just Outside of Defender Spawn In a Control Tower
To the left of defender spawn there is a building with what seems to be a breakroom, inside there is a screen that changes images shown with some.
Shows "First Strike" with the date December 3rd, just teasing more at the upcoming First Strike tournament that they are hosting (Regional finals are Dec 3rd-6th). There is a penguin cam shown as well, and I will show later where you can find those penguins! Also under the First Strike ad there is the text "Announcement: Snowmen Found On Premises Will Be Eradicated." Guess someone doesn't like snowmen.
The weather page initially is nothing special, just showing cold temperatures, but if you wait a bit the screen will glitch and flash this image that reads, "That new fire" with what seems to be Phoenix. There is also text on the right bottom quarter that I couldn't discern no matter how close I got.
Just shows the employee of the month, congrats Paul!
Lastly just some other cool things I found across the map.
Snowman Just Outside Attacker Spawn
Penguins From The \"Penguin Cam\" and A Snowman
Two Bears Guarding A Door (Left of Defender Spawn)
Fun fact: The snowman outside of Attacker Spawn and the snowman on the hill are both destructible, but the rest are not! I'm sure I missed some snowmen or penguins but these are all I could find.
