Trivia[]
- The Insecticide in Club 27 has odd characteristics dissimilar to any other Insecticide. It lacks a weapon type, can only be used on the atrium ventilation unit, and can also be thrown as a non-lethal weapon. It is illegal to pick up when not wearing the proper disguise, and has a different model in the inventory.
- This same variant is found during The Author, although there is no fumigation unit for it to be used on, instead being used for the smoke machine in the crypt.
- Interestingly, the smaller variant found on Whittleton Creek has the same outline as the larger variant when it is being placed down.
- Overheard conversations offer conflicting information regarding the properties of the insecticide. In Bangkok, one of the exterminators tells a concerned member of the hotel staff that the substance is a genuine insecticide that can render people unconscious if used in large doses. However, the exterminator in Whittleton Creek tells a construction worker that his insecticide is actually a sedative for the insects themselves, which he intends to safely relocate once they are unconscious. Given that the latter is extremely improbable, this exterminator may simply be making up outlandish stories for his own amusement.
- Alternatively, he may be dealing with childhood trauma due to the death of his pet cockroach, Pedro.
