Trivia

- Unused: Gunship Sinker - If the player has [RC Rocket] , it causes an unknown effect. This synergy is a reference to Half-Life 2 , where the main protagonist, Gordon Freeman, uses a Resistance [RPG] to take down the combine gunship in one of the scenes, which also has the ability to fire rockets that can be controlled by the player's cursor, similar to [RC Rocket] .
