* The 1 ability point upgrade does ''NOT'' increase Vindicta's base Ammo capacity by 50%, it only increases her Ammo capacity by 50% of her base Ammo. This means that it will increase her ammo capacity by the same amount every time and will not affect other sources of Ammo increase such as '''[[Titanic Magazine]]'''.
* Vindicta cannot dash during the flight due to dash hotkey (<code>SHIFT</code>) being overriden by Fly Up. Rebinding either of those allows the player to dash normally during the flight.
* When killing a target with Flight active and the T3 upgrade, flight is recast, giving Vindicta a burst of speed in the air, but no additional height.

== Trivia ==
* Vindicta was named '''Hornet''' in ''[[Neon Prime]]''.
* Vindicta is referred to as "Hornet" in the game files, which was likely an initial placeholder name.
** Hornet was voiced by Jeannie Tirado, who also voices [[Ivy]].
* Vindicta says she was a child during the Salem Witch Trials, as found in one of her hero select lines. This relates to the actual Salem Witch Trials as many of the girls were young, ranging from ages 9 to 20.<ref>[https://www.history.com/news/salem-witch-trials-accusers Salem Witch Trials: Who Were the Main Accusers?] on [https://www.history.com/ History.com]</ref>
* Vindicta's current model was designed by artist [[Evgeniy Evstrastiy]].<ref>{{YouTubeCite|video=vl3F5IMLP_o&t=4051|title=Evgeniy Evstrastiy Interview (1:07:30)}} (in Russian)</ref>
* [[wikipedia:John Hathorne|John Hathorne]], who's mentioned in Vindicta's background, was known in the actual Salem Witch Trials for questioning accusers and the accused in trial, often leaving the accused guilty.
* Vindicta will occasionally hum the song ''[[wikipedia:Simple_Gifts|Simple Gifts]]'' after using a shot of her ultimate.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Vindicta|file=vindicta_use_power4_04.mp3|transcription=humming 'Simple Gifts'}}</ref> This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
* Vindicta will occasionally hum the song "Simple Gifts" after getting a kill. This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
* "Brooding in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Vindicta in the [[Hideout]].
* Vindicta and [[McGinnis]] are currently tied for the lowest base Stamina of any hero at 2.
** She shares this status with [[Victor]].
