Trivia[]
- The Authority Augmenter bears a strong resemblance to the Quad Damage power-up in the Quake game series also made by id Software:
- The item image is the same symbol as the Quake III logo.
- The power-up will do almost quadruple damage to any enemy when used.
- When the player activates and fire it, an "alarm" sound is heard. This sound is extremely similar to the Quake series Quad Damage sound. And when the power-up has almost run out, the alarm noises sequence heard is similar to the one heard when the Quad Damage power-up begins to end in Quake.
