** The Knife is a weapon that deals less damage than a Shovel or Stop Sign, but makes up for it by attacking more than twice as fast. It's found exclusively as a drop by Butlers, which aren't so rare on Mansion planets especially Dine, and take one shovel hit to die in their aggressive state... the trouble is that killing a Butler spawns an invincible ScaryStingingSwarm of hornets that chase employees in the mansion ala Circuit Bees, pretty much ''ending'' the day's scrap run. Finally, the knife's range is shorter than the Shovel/Sign, which means you need to get up closer with enemies that you ''really'' don't want to be near.

* LazinessCallout: At the end of each day one of the players is given the moniker of "laziest employee

** Putting on the Dramatic Mask has a random but high chance of causing it to possess the player wearing it after five seconds, and this can happen with any mask. Putting on the mask is just a terrible idea, really, and doing it for any reason is literally just asking to not only die but for your possessed body to cause problems for the rest of your team. Especially the Comedy Mask- Many a newbie thinks that if the Tragedy Mask possesses you if you put it on, then the Comedy Mask doesn't. Nope, the effect is exactly the same as the Tragedy Mask.

* RandomTransportation: The inverse teleporter, which randomly teleports users to somewhere in the facility. Sometimes this can drop you right on top of a bunch of valuable loot, or by the fire exit. Other times you'll appear right in front of a deadly monster, in a dead end behind a locked door with no way out, [[https://www.twitch.tv/mintcemesherry/clip/VivaciousPoliteSwanTBTacoRight-25hilIaJjk48ElOy?filter=clips&range=30d&sort=time or even directly into a pit to your death.]]

** The Knife is a short-ranged weapon that deals less damage than a Shovel or Stop Sign, but makes up for it by attacking more than twice as fast. It's found exclusively as a drop by Butlers, which aren't so rare on Mansion planets especially Dine, and take one shovel hit to die in their aggressive state... the trouble is that killing a Butler spawns an invincible ScaryStingingSwarm of hornets that chase employees in the mansion ala Circuit Bees, pretty much ending the day's scrap run. Finally, the Knife also does no damage to both Bunker Spiders and Thumpers, two targets that it would otherwise have been helpful against.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Shotgun is the game's only lethal ranged weapon, and can [[OneHitKill one-shot]] anything[[note]]That is capable of dying[[/note]]. Unfortunately, it's found exclusively as a drop by the rare, hard-to-kill nutcracker, requires near-shovel range anyway for maximum effect, and has the potential to misfire and kill other assets or anger monsters. It also requires shells, which take up inventory slots, are used up quickly, and are again exclusively obtained via killing a nutcracker.
