Trivia

• One of the thugs has a cell phone with the ringtone of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly main title theme song.
• In the chapter, you will encounter two gangsters arguing with each other about the detonator. If you let the argument pan out, one of the thugs will kill the other and then whistle casually. If interrupted, both of them will fight you.
• While in the vault, Max can shoot out the alarm system, which will prompt him to comically mutter a "thank you."
• The Killer Rats: Just before Max finds Alex, one of the mobsters will toss a grenade, but if Max kill him quickly enough, he can pick it up and head towards the beginning of the chapter where a hole in the wall can be found. Toss the grenade into the hole and the message 'I had declared a war against rats' will appear as an objective. Head back through the tunnel and up the stairs, where there will be rats holding guns; they will fire at Max on sight.
• Before Alex is shot, Alex mentioned someone important than Lupino relating to the heist, it could implied Angelo Punchinello as he is higher rank than Lupino although the reason of the heist remain unknown.
• At the end of the chapter, near the stairs that lead to the station's exit, there are several posters on the wall of people who seem to be members of the development team.
