Trivia

  • The "painsaw" ability is a reference to DOOM (4/2016) and DOOM: Eternal, which introduced the concept of using the chainsaw to replenish ammunition.'
    • It originally dropped random ammunition types of various calibers and subtypes, but it was changed to allow the player to choose what ammo they wanted and to prevent inventory clutter.
