    there is the other thing like this on Oni: Sword Base.
    just watched a video on youtube of it today.

    there are 2 hidden "doors" in the map, when both players click "open door" simultaneously, it starts a secret Race Mode for the level.

    so, most likely, there are multiple switches and you have to hit them all at the same time for something to happen?

    Agreed, It must be something like the reach racer. Also as stated earlier it's more than likely a 4 person simultaneous activation on legendary. As to what it does absolutely no clue.

    I love things like this, it makes playing the game so much more fun. This could be a possibility has anyone thought of finding all the data pads in Nightfall then activate the levers?

    Well I cant figure it out, I'm starting to believe that this lever is just a last minute design thing, I have tried EVERYTHING. Also I cant activate the lever. Like I said before, I must have hallucinated it because the lever is always in the downward position. Also in the second to last part of the level (Were you plant the bomb in the electromagnetic cload device and then fend off som hunters (power house at night)) There are 7 of those lever things in plain sight!

    Everything Includes


    -clearing out the first 2 areas on legendary all skulls on

    -pushing jun off the cliff and not killing a single thing by ninjaing passed everyone.

    -killing all the explosive objects in the area (there are a lot of them)

    -4 person legendary

    -shoving all the forklifts in the area into that below room.

    -Collecting all the shotgun ammo (which there is an unreasonable amount of in the first to parts of nightfall)

    What I found:


    -A super jump, using stairs - it is indoors so you die instantly upon performing it usually.

    -You can get on top of the level in a few places

    -There is a secret room in the first area that is only access able via window, there is nothing in it, and you cant fit through the window.... usually.

    -You cannot stealth your way through nightfall due to Jun being an idiot and shooting his sniper -usually missing/not killing his target - just to alert every enemy in the level to your presence.

    -There are two more weird ass lights in the level and they are right next to one in the lever room

    - There are 2 lever terminals (including the lever in the room) that both seemingly do nothing.

    - There are a considerable number "suspicious objects" in this part of the level that do not react to your actions at all.

    Conclusion
    :

    Anyone have a devkit?

    Ya, I think that this is just by design, nothing to do with anything, the only reason for the table and shelving unit in the room with lever is so you can get out. I think there nothing that it may do. Yet there most likely other easter eggs in this level and others in the game that we haven't found yet. And personally I want to find them. If anyone wants to go through the campaign and try to find other easter eggs I am happy to. But this is just a simple design area.

    Looking at the code, if im looking at the correct lever right now, it does absolutely nothing. The lights dont point at the lever btw, it just goes in whatever direction you shoot. I think this is similar to the hidden room on sandtrap+epitaph.... ;)

    I am pretty intrigued by this. I love how Bungie likes to throw in these little easer eggs. It makes the game so much fun.

    I liked the 4 banshees that appear, but the thing that sucks about that is once you activate those switches for the banshees, you can not destroy the AA guns. They become invincible! What is the point of having banshees then if you can't destroy anything!???!?! D: haha

    Destroy the AA guns first and then go back and activate the switch.
