Red vs Blue Radios are Easter Eggs hidden in Halo 4's Spartan Ops mode. Shooting these radios will cause them to play Red vs. Blue's opening theme. In addition, as a consequence of triggering the easter egg, dialogue from key moments of a chapter will include humorous dialogue from the series' cast. Finding one of these easter eggs will award the Roses vs Violets achievement.

Dialogue[]
Core[]
- Commander Palmer: "Commander Palmer to Fireteam Castle. You're on Spartans, Dalton's got targets for you."
- Caboose: "Um, the regular radio guy isn't here right now. Sorry."
While Crimson is defending the artifact.
- Commander Palmer: "Fireteam Castle, this is Commander Palmer. I need an ETA on clear skies."
- Caboose: "Seriously, the regular radio guy said he'd be right back. He's in the bathroom."
Gagarin[]
Crimson activates the first computer.
- Caboose: "What does this button do?"
- Church: "Caboose, don't touch anything!"
- Caboose: "But I'm great at buttons. Oh, look at that explosion!"
Recording ends.
Crimson activates the second.
- Church: "Oh great! You broke it!"
- Caboose: "No. The fire broke it - ah, see? Great, now I'm on fire too now. Awesome."
Recording ends. Crimson activates the third.
- Grif: "Hey, Simmons? What do you think this thing does?"
- Simmons: "How would I know? It's a forty-foot, seamless monolith with one massive holographic button. It could be anything from a giant microwave oven to a weapon with enough power to-"
- Caboose: [screaming] "I'm on fire!"
- Simmons: "Hey, is that Caboose?"
- Caboose: [screaming]
- Grif: "Probably. He's on fire."
- Caboose: [screaming] "It's like the armor! It does nothing! Ah!"[10]
Shootout in Valhala[]
Pelicans fly in with Mantises.
- Simmons: "Hold tight, ground forces. We are inbound with reinforcements. Don't wanna say exactly what, but you'll like 'em!"
- Grif: "It's giant robots."
- Simmons: "What?! Grif! You ruined the surprise! You have no flair for the dramatic."
- Grif: "They're in battle, idiot! How dramatic do you want it to get?"
Pelicans drop Mantises.[11]
Rally Point[]
When Crimson reaches the waterfront tower.
- Vic: "Hello? Hello? Commander Palmer, hello? Do you read me?"
Pause.
- Commander Palmer: "What are you even doing?"
Pause
- Vic: "Oh, come on, dude! I thought you saved my number at the party last night. You were really killin' it at the karaoke. If you know what I'm sayin', dude."
Pause.
- Commander Palmer: "Miller? Status?"
- Miller: "Working on it, Commander."
Pause.
- Vic: "Yeesh! Easy there, Commander Buzzkill. I'm going to 80's night tomorrow, so hey. Give me a buzz after you save the universe and all that. Hasta luego. Luego bye bye."[12]
Spartan Thorne[]
When the equipment drop comes.
- Sarge: "I heard you boys wanted a lift, but all I've got are these guns. I suppose you could assemble some sort of primitive gun-like vehicle out of the parts... But who knows what the insurance rate would be on that bad boy."
Several gravity hammers marked "Sports equipment" are dropped.
- Sarge: "Dammit, Grif! You dropped your cargo! Now how are we supposed to play Grifball?"
- Grif: "I think the bigger question here might be why a military vehicle was sent into battle with sports equipment?"[13]
Search and Destroy[]
After Crimson has reached the nukes.
- Sarge: (mocking voice) "This is Corporal Switchback to Infinity!"
- Commander Palmer: "Go ahead, Switchback."
- Sarge: "Hey Infinity, is your slipspace drive running? Because you'd better go catch it!"
- Commander Palmer: "Crimson, you're the closest responder. Fall out and help Switchback."
- Grif: "Babba booey! Babba booey!"[14]
