Trivia

• Sledge's Elite Set, L Detachment, is based on the World War II predecessor of the modern Special Air Service, the "L" Detachment, Special Air Service Brigade.
  • With the Elite Set, Sledge's Breaching Hammer becomes a round-headed hammer similar to the ones used in the traditional Scottish hammer throw sport in the Scottish Highland games.
• Thatcher's Elite Set, Operation Nimrod, is based on the Special Air Service during the Iranian Embassy siege, who launched an assault on the embassy codenamed "Operation Nimrod".
• Mute's Elite Set, F Squadron, is based on the F Squadron of the Special Air Service, whose forces came from the GHQ Liaison Regiment, a WWII-era reconnaissance and signals unit also known as "Phantom".
  • The symbol of the F Squadron Set shown on the Operator Card is the White Rose of York; this references the fact that Mute is born in York, England.
• IQ's Elite Set, Reunification, is based on the 1970-80s green West German police uniform designed by designer Heinz Oestergaard, specifically the leather motorcycle suits which featured white stripes.
  • The name of the Elite Set refers to the German reunification of 1990.
  • The special cassette player model for the Electronic Detector in the Reunification set is marked with the words "Gehender Mann", which literally translate to "Walking man" in German, a play on the name of the Walkman series of portable media players.
• Kapkan's Elite Set, Vympel, is based on Spetsgruppa "V" during the Soviet-Afghan War. Spetsgruppa "V", also known as "Vympel" (literally "pennant" in Russian), is a Russian special forces group, formerly under the KGB and now under the FSB.
  • The Vympel uniform features a blue-and-white Telnyashka, an undershirt originating from the Imperial Russian Navy that came to be commonly worn by Russian special forces.
  • The Vympel set renames Kapkan's EDD to "EDD MK I" (normally "EDD MK II"), suggesting that the new model of the EDD is an older version of it.
• Pulse's Elite Set, Lucky Seventh, is based on the appearance of the character Travis Bickle from the 1976 film Taxi Driver.
  • The Elite Set is named after the nickname of the United States 7th Armored Division, "Lucky Seventh".
  • The jacket on the Lucky Seventh uniform is based on the US World War II tanker jacket, with the 7th Armored Division and Corporal shoulder insignias.
  • The symbol of the Lucky Seventh Elite Set shown on the Operator Card is the emblem of the U.S. Tank destroyer battalion from World War II.
• Hibana's Elite Set, Onkochishin, is named after the Sino-Japanese four-character idiom, "温故知新" (Hiragana: おんこちしん, rōmaji: onkochishin), meaning "Learning from the past".
• Blitz's Elite Set, Panzerstarke, loosely means "Tank Strength" in German.
• Smoke's Elite Set, Sanguine Arsenic, has the structural formula of the chemical Arsole marked on his jacket. Its presence is likely a visual pun on the British vulgar slang, "arsehole".
