Trivia[]
- Baker's blood type is O+.
- The design of Baker's "Clown" skin is a reference to the Joker's thugs in the film The Dark Knight.
- In Call of Duty: Warzone, the skin is slightly different, with the color of the hair and eyes of the mask changed to blue, and the nose changed to red.
- Following an update, the "Nosedive" skin was renamed erroneously to "Portside", which is the name for Baker's default skin.
