- A certain a cave painting can be found depicting nine total pigeons. Two of the pigeons, first seen on the map Cliffhanger, are rendered in the style of the Nazca Lines; the left pigeon features the symbol representing the mysterious organization SEELE from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise, and the right pigeon wears a hard hat and a safety vest, referencing the pigeon-themed art on the map Streets. Two other pigeons in the group also wear a hard hat and safety vest. Another of the pigeons wears John-117's helmet, is holding an assault rifle, and is saying "hope," in reference to one of the overarching themes of Halo Infinite's campaign and marketing.
