* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: The game was a massive flop, in part because of this trope. A group of four characters robbing gold from the Nazi's while carrying out the orders from someone in a secure location... [[VideoGame/PAYDAY2 Sound familiar?]] The main audience of the game were ''PAYDAY 2'' players (''RAID'' even had a {{Crossover}} to promote itself), and anyone who played this game and ''PAYDAY 2'' noted that while it had some unique ideas, gameplay-wise, it really isn't much different to a game they're already playing, essentially being a WWII-themed ''PAYDAY'' experience, so very few people jumped ship or even attempted to play it.
* NewbieBoom: The game got a surprise boost in numbers in June 2023, in part due to an update releasing around the same time of the Steam Summer Sale that gave the game a 90% discount, a roadmap for upcoming features (Talents inspired by the cancelled ''[[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Overwatch 2]]'' [=PVE=] mode, skill tree rebalances etc.), but also due to defectors from ''PAYDAY 2'', after it added a notoriously bad [=EOS=] implementation. Whereas the numbers on steam were an average of 5 per day, the current highest is at less than 100 players, a player count increase of almost 200%!

* MemeticMutation: '''''Blammo!'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A somewhat common voice line for Stirling', when he shoots down an enemy officer. Because of the comparatively dormant userbase the game had for much of its life, it was more used in the ''PAYDAY 2'' community when referring to the game, I.E; "The Blammo game".[[/labelnote]]
