Trivia[]
General[]
- While Agent 14 shows the player around their bunker, he becomes stuck with the Caddy in the middle of a corridor. This is a reference to the famous corridor "three point turn" scene from Austin Powers.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- During the fourth Mobile Operations mission, Mole Hunt, Agent 14 states that it is 2017, which would indicate that the Grand Theft Auto Online timeline moves along with real world time, contrary to the originally stated timeline of GTA Online taking place before the events of Grand Theft Auto V. However, this creates many anachronisms if GTA Online extends to 2017 as Merryweather is still operating in 2017 even though in 2013 Merryweather loses clearance to operate on American soil and is forced to shut down several operations. Also, the O'Neil farm is still standing despite being destroyed during Crystal Maze in the main game.
- This time setting was confirmed to be canon in the The Doomsday Heist update (and later in the subsequent updates), where the new radio station has a playlist with half the songs being made in the 2014-2017 era.
