The second Extinction map, "Nightfall", has an easter egg very similar to the "LOL" easter egg on the first Extinction map, "Point of Contact".
Four of the transformers on the utility poles will spark in a random order, and shooting them in that order will cause the word "ZAP!!!" to appear on the screen. After doing so, every enemy killed within four to five minutes will explode parts of snowmen.

On a shelf in the game, there are two awards, one of which is shaped like a Rupee from The Legend of Zelda and another shaped like the TARDIS from Doctor Who. The Rupee award reads "Awarded For: Most Bushes Cut And Most Pots Smashed", and the TARDIS award reads "Award For: Largest Interior With Smallest Exterior". Additionally, an award can be found for "World Not Ending" in 2012, a reference to the Mayan calendar and the belief that the world was set to end in 2012.
