** Additionally, once you perform the last step, [[spoiler: the game will not mark the mission as complete (allowing you to reply to the email and finish it) until the man's heart gives out, and you won't know when it happens unless you watch the monitor. That's right, you watch the heart monitor as the man's heartbeat skyrockets to a horrifying ''400BPM''...and then gives out to a flatline as he dies.]]

** However, the DLC also introduces [=TorrentStreamInjector=], which takes up nearly half the computer's memory and stays active for a good five seconds after opening the port. The game tells you what you need to do to close it early, but it's still incredibly frustrating, especially with the rest of the multitasking the game requires.

* ThatOnePuzzle: Naix's cyber attack following the completion of "Aggression must be Punished" is a doozy if you're new to the game. After completing the mission, Naix will angrily email you a threat before hacking your terminal. If the player is smart and [[spoiler: sets up Shells to trap Naix]], this can be avoided, but if you didn't read some of your computers /help printouts close enough or simply don't understand how [[spoiler: Shell trapping works]], Naix will delete your x-server file. In laymans terms, he deletes the mouse-interface your computer uses, trapping you in the black and white terminal and severely limiting what you can do. After this, the player must [[spoiler: get to a local server, download an x-server file, and run it in order to boot their computer back up and restore their interface]], but this will likely take a very long time to figure out thanks to the sudden shock of what's happened and the limited nature of the terminal interface.

* ScrappyMechanic: [=FTPBounce=] is notably slower than any of the other hacking tools, so much so that avoiding the FTP port or opening the program as early as possible is a necessary strategy for some of the more difficult hacks near the end of the game. The DLC fixes this issue with [=FTPSprint=], which, as the name implies, is remarkably faster.

** If you sided with Kaguya at the end of ''Labyrinths'', that means you're willing to [[spoiler:let the plane crash, killing everyone on it. Unfortunately, there's no button to crash it - it's already falling, and you're gonna have to watch it crash, knowing that at any point you can lift a finger to save them. Meanwhile, Coel is ''begging'' for your help on the IRC page and slowly realizing she's outnumbered 3-1 and the one person she trusted won't help her. The music and colors on the screen get louder and more aggressive as the plane approaches the ground, and then... silence.]] There's a good reason why there's no music at all during the final cutscene.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The team members of the Labyrinths DLC can all be viewed in a few different ways, though basically all three boil down to [[spoiler: whether Kaguya is right or wrong to kill a planeful of innocents to destroy a weapon schematic, and whether Coel and [=D3f4ult=]'s reactions were justified.]]

*** Entech's plan is even worse. They plan to release their own security software, which can't be breached by Hacknet (the Invioability Error on Entech's servers), thereby creating a worldwide monopoly on security software. That, and Hacknet is supposed to lock down the computer of any user after a set time and send that computer's IP to Entech. That is the purpose of the security tracer file you have to delete right after the tutorial.
