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.
- Fuze's Elite Set, 2nd Shock Army, is based on the 2nd Shock Army of the Soviet Union during World War II.
- The uniform features the SN-42 steel body armor used during World War II.
- The weapon skin of the Elite Set, Arzamas-17, is based on the former name of the Russian closed town of Sarov, Arzamas-16.
- The Arzamas-17 skin for the 6P41 features the phrase "Fuze the hostage" scratched into the underside of the feed tray cover multiple times (visible when reloading), referencing the community meme of Fuze killing the hostage with his gadget.
- The special skin for Rook's Armor Plates bag in the Elite Set includes a folder marked with "Operation: Rook Mine", referencing the internet meme "Rook mine".[1]
- The special skin for the armor bag also includes a list of steps written in French underneath its cover, describing the process of putting down an armor bag and making sure that all armor are taken.
- 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".
