Trivia[]

The energy drink originally modeled its appearance on the Austrian energy drink brand Red Bull, right down to the colors and shape of the can itself. The only difference was the branding appearing as the fictional Hot Bull, with Update #2 introducing the current replacement design of the energy drink.
In the Alpha and Closed Beta, a completely filled boost bar granted a bonus to weapon accuracy. This was later removed when the game was released for Steam Early Access as it was considered unbalanced.
