Trivia

 * The song that plays when the young version of Richtofen comes out of the teleporter is an edited version of one of Mob of the Dead's Afterlife spawn themes.
 * The round ending/beginning jingle is the same as from Mob of the Dead, albeit slightly modified.
 * The old Richtofen does not have the scar by his right eye. His swastika is also missing.
 * The teleporters are seen with the Iron Cross, rather than the Nazi Swastika symbol, as opposed to the original Der Riese.
 * The perks are now randomized, as they can be in any location of the map.
 * The Fly Trap Easter Egg has changed significantly. Instead of Samantha speaking during the Easter Egg, it is Ludvig Maxis; the objects are also in different places than before. Lastly the player receives the Annihilator pistol after completing the Easter Egg.
 * Various radios are placed throughout the map, containing messages from Ludvig Maxis, as well as alternate versions of Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo.
 * The musical easter egg is a remixed version of "Beauty of Annihilation".
 * On top of the building behind the power switch, Icarus from Mob of the Dead can be seen resting on top of it.
 * As players reach higher rounds, the characters' personalities begin to change, as they will start to act like their World War II versions of themselves. For example, Nikolai will begin mentioning vodka and Richtofen will claim that he hears voices.
