* The ziplines have had various names. In ''[[Neon Prime]]'' they were called ''hyperlines'', in ''[[Shadowline]]'' they were ''shadowlines'', and now in ''Deadlock,'' their official name is ''transit lines''. Some voice lines and UI elements still refer to them by their old names. | |||
* Prior to the [[Update:February 25, 2025|2025-02-25 Update]], there were 4 lanes: Yellow (York), Green (Greenwich), Blue (Broadway), and Purple (Park). | |||
* The lane names and colors have changed several times during development: | |||
** Park Ave. (Green) was previously the Purple lane. | |||
** Before that, the Green lane was Greenwich Lane. | |||
** Even earlier, Greenwich Lane was the Orange lane and was named Orchard. | |||
* All the lanes are named after real New York streets. | |||
** Originally, the team's bases were named after Grand Central Station and Penn Station, indicating that they may have been conceived as equivalent to train stations. | |||
* The blue zipline speeds up in the base to account for the extra distance over the Patron's head. | |||
