* ShoutOut: The Summer Sprint and Independence Day 2023 updates introduce a few references to ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' that aren't just weapons lifted from the game:
** One Summer Sprint Cosmic unique is an [=S12=] shotgun called "No Backup Plan." It is guaranteed to roll Fortified (kills have a chance to grant temporary damage reduction) in at least one slot.[[note]]The original No Backup Plans is a Titan gauntlet that causes shotgun kills to trigger the Sentinel's melee charge, granting them a shield in the process.[[/note]]
** An Ascended unique from the same collection is a burst rifle called "Fourth Times the Charm," and is guaranteed to roll with Replenish (bullets have a chance to return to the magazine if they hit something.)[[note]]In ''Destiny 2'', Fourth Times the Charm is a perk that recycles two bullets for every four that hit an enemy's weak spot.[[/note]]
** Infantry weapons from the Independence Collection roll with a talent that replenishes your throwable on kills called Demolitionist.

** The Copycat talent can't change the actual ammo type of the weapon it's on if it copies a different type of weapon, meaning it gets less mileage on guns that take Deagle or rifle ammo due to limited reserves.

Guns that have them are always Ascended weapons, meaning owning a leveled one allows it to compete with Planetary items for talent diversity by having up to five unique talents at once.
* NecessaryDrawback: [[VideoGame/Destiny2 Thorn and Ace of Spades]] are agile, aggressive primary weapons and are treated & balanced like so, true to their source media. However, the game considers them revolvers and thus secondaries -- so wouldn't that mean anyone who owns one have two primaries in a loadout? ''VG'' addresses the issue by having them be a secondary in the inventory and a primary in-game, which therefore makes them eat up both slots. Still want to use another secondary of equal tier? Go fetch one from a player's corpse.

** The Door Buster breaks down doors in a spectacular explosion that often overkills targets, but situations requiring its use don't come up often. Additionally, while they can be attached to doors that aren't regular Source doors, the explosion won't remove them.
** The Remote Sticky Bomb allows for some hilarious WhyAmITicking plays with unfortunate Innocents. However, it has to be armed without ever being spotted by the Innocents (as you will appear to be holding C4 the whole time), and getting the victim to wander into the right position is difficult at best.

''Velkon Gaming'', sometimes abbreviated to ''Velk TTT'' or its website URL ''velk.ca'', is a server network running a {{Recursive|Fanfiction}} GameMod of ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown''. Inheriting its architecture from its direct predecessor ''moat.gg'', it first launched in 2020.
''Velk'' is branded as an "inventory server," meaning it allows players to amass permanent collections of cosmetics and weapons with greatly improved stats and altered functions compared to their base models. These can also be bought, sold, and traded through credits found in-game and purchased online, resulting in a unique environment of gunplay and economy running in tandem with each other alongside the classic chaos of the original ''TTT''.
Like the original ''TTT'', access is free to anyone who owns both ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' and ''VideoGame/CounterStrike: Source'' (though guides exist to legally acquire the latter's files without a license, as the game is only used for assets.) You can find the servers themselves in the ''Garry's Mod'' server browser and their online presence [[https://velk.ca here]].

** Explosive weapons that deal under ~400 base damage lose a lot of their stopping power compared to vanilla, as Flame Retardant can cut the damage from them by up to 75%. [[DownplayedTrope Don't worry, though; frag grenades can do far worse, and many other power-ups can be worth using over Flame Retardant, leaving those players defenseless]].
** Snowball and Ice Cream both hurl solid objects at targets for improved base damage, but aren't hitscan and trigger randomly, making it harder to reliably deal constant damage due to the knockback they inflict. They are most reliable on close-range weapons like the Sundae (a Negev) since the projectiles will hit the target almost immediately for negligible knockback.
** DamageOverTime talents don't see a lot of use, since leaving someone to die from poison, ice, or fire just gives them ample time to call out the traitor that attacked them.
* BalanceBuff:
** Traitors aren't harmed by explosive weapons from their teammates, encouraging them to go gung-ho in maps with crowded spawns.
** Airbus's spawns are distributed evenly over the plane instead of within the lounge on the second floor, greatly extending the longevity of each round.
** Shotguns originally launched unable to headshot players, likely a remnant of the response to their extreme dominance in ''Moat''. A later update restored this function.
** The Peacekeeper fires in burst by default. An update changed it to fire in full auto; the role of a burst-fire weapon is currently occupied by the F1 Valorise, which has much higher damage-per-shot.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: The Dragonborn talent gives every bullet from a gun a random chance to shove someone with an extreme amount of force away from the user.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: XP boosters, Talent and Stat Mutators for Ascended and Cosmic weapons, and credits can all be bought with real money. VIP membership also boosts passive income and can be bought for money, but can also be traded between players as a token before being redeemed.

** The [=M1911=] is actually two fundamentally different pistols depending on which model the gun is, which you're unlikely to be clued in on until you own both at once. The one obtained from Crimson crates and which is used by the Hippity Hoppity and Mistletoe-1911 takes Deagle ammo and shoots faster and more accurately, but cannot OneHitKO to the head.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: Some unique weapons and niche talents only appear once for an event, then never show up again. Holiday items usually return in some capacity each year, though.
* PowerGlows: Planetary weapons are the strongest and have a rainbow sheen surrounding them at all times. Depending on the weapon, this also affects the user's hands in the viewmodel.
* RareRandomDrop: Ascended-tier items and above, along with Extinct weapons that correspond to the stat brackets of those tiers, have astronomically low drop rates, going as low as .00028% for Planetaries. They are ''so'' low, in fact, that BribingYourWayToVictory only really works because these guns can be traded.
