** The ARK itself as well. It comes equipped with a teleporter, virtual training area, personal quarters, an armory, a garage, a research station and much more. Quite fitting for MAYHEM's main HQ.
* CoolCar: Quartermile's garage is well stocked with various vehicles that the player can summon anywhere in Seoul. Each car comes with an onboard A.I. unit and can be outfitted with custom paintjobs.


Added DiffLines:

* EnemyChatter: LEGION soldiers have several taunts they use during combat. Their dialogue and insults even change to reflect the agent they're currently fighting.


Added DiffLines:

* YouGetMeCoffee: After a disastrous attempt to trap AISHA nearly crashes the ARK Mixer is bumped down to coffee duty for a week by Persephone. You can even hear the other base agents demanding coffee from his over the SIN.

* HeroInsurance: Subverted in the debut trailer, where representatives of Ultor give Miss Brimstone grief over how much damage the Agents did to Seoul during the battle against Doctor Babylon. Hollywood's introduction also implies he does a bit of work publicly speaking to get people to cut them some slack over it.


Added DiffLines:

** The Firing Squad's special mission has each member [[RashomonStyle tell a significantly different account of what happened]], and enemies directly match the current speaker's statements. Like when Kingpin says they fought ten big robots which the player sees in front of them (probably thinking OhCrap), but backtracks to "Maybe just two robots?" which causes the other eight to disappear.

In the end, it's revealed that the "weapon" they retrieved was [[spoiler:a cute hamster, which the team lied about due to Mayhem's strict "no pets" policy]].

* NGOSuperpower: LEGION is effectively this, especially in the wake of Devil's Night. After the collapse of the world's governments, many people have [[IFightForTheStrongestSide secretly aligned themselves with the strongest world power remaining - LEGION]]. In addition to its massive armies, cutting-edge weapons and unique technology, LEGION controls a number of [[CovertGroupWithMundaneFront front companies]] and is allied with [[ArmsDealer armament manufacturers]] and [[TheSyndicate crime syndicates]], including the {{Yakuza}}. [[CorruptPolitician Corrupt government officials]] and other traitors have also secretly aided LEGION.

** Yeti and the New Revolutionary Council were betrayed by [[TheRival a rival Cold Warrior]] who believed that allegiance to LEGION was the best solution to restore Russia to greatness.
** After Devil's Night, defense contracts mostly went to armament manufacturing companies aligned with LEGION. Claymore's own business went bankrupt as a result, forcing him to accept an exclusive partnership with Persephone and MAYHEM.
** Quartermile's rival Bianchi supplies LEGION with high-speed vehicles, much like how Quartermile himself does for MAYHEM.
