* ThatOneAchievement: Maximum Headquarters, which requires you to fully upgrade your base. Most of the upgrades aren't actually too expensive to get, capping at around $30k for the final upgrade, which you will probably have by the end of the campaign. However, the Hireling Capacity is where the real pain of getting this achievement comes from. The final upgrade for the capacity costs a whopping ''$700k'', making it the second most expensive thing in the game (behind the Minigun). The only way to get that kind of money is either endlessly grinding the late-game stages, or by modding a gun to increase its value, and then selling it.

** The Hunter Gudgeon. They aren't any tougher than their commando brethren, but they have one annoying trick; they fire homing green balls of energy. At first, they aren't too bad, as they only shoot one at a time, but as the waves increase with more gudgeons, they become the first priority to deal with, as they can quickly kill you while you are distracted by other enemies.

** Nexus Core Agents with melee weapons. Their aversion of MookChivalry, combined with their near-flighty speed and being commonly equipped with fast-swinging melee weapons like [[ExtendableWeapon extendable batons]] mean they can [[ZergRush aggressively rush you down en masse]] and quickly chip away at your health. The threat of getting caught in a CycleOfHurting in hand-to-hand combat on higher difficulties and them distracting you from more dangerous enemies adds to their annoyance factor. This is best exemplified in Story Mode's "Base Jumping" mission, where there is a room with a Combat Wave that comes just a few before the boss battle against the Blackguard, and it is ''only'' comprised of these guys... and they are mostly equipped with the aforementioned extendable batons, and come at you from the numerous spawn points that are sprinkled throughout. Odds are, this Combat Wave alone just handed you a quick and unexpected TotalPartyKill at least once.

** The Climb is usually regarded as one of the hardest levels of ''Project Nexus'', especially on higher difficulties. Not long after you start the level, the first units that appear (discounting the [=G03LM=] that you can spawn by [[SchmuckBait ringing the attendant multiple times]]) are guaranteed to fill the entire room with bullets, which is compounded with a lack of cover. Furthermore, Hank and Sanford later have sections that split them up, and because [[ArtificialStupidity the friendly A.I. isn't the best]], whichever character you didn't control will most likely lose all their Corpus blocks unless you clear the rooms in time. While the Dissonance weaponry can help you out, this is compounded that there are very few places to fill them up (which is a godsend compared to the fact that you cannot refill normal ammunition in this level). To top it off, there are ''multiple [[GiantMook MAG Agents]]'' which are heavily resistant and serve as a meatshield for the other grunts that can shoot you. Oh, and much like Chasms, there is a specific section that you need to shoot a specific object to stop the Infinite Combat Wave, except unlike Chasms, [[GuideDangIt there is no clue that you need to shoot it]]. And since this is one of the longest sections in the game, if you fail the mission at any point before the boss sequence, [[CheckpointStarvation you have to start the whole stage all over again]], and while this applies to all stages, they were at least doable enough for players to not notice, though it's heavily pronounced here because of the sheer difficulty. Finally, the end is considered by many to be [[ThatOneBoss one of the hardest boss battles in the game]]: After enduring an AAHW assault of 75 agents, including a MAG Agent, you have to survive three minutes and thirty seconds being assaulted by an combination of Project Gestalt, AAHW and the Nexus Core, made much harder that periodically, Gestalt will summon a Dissonance orb to obliterate anything in its path, though it's somewhat more of a benefit to you given how predicable it is, and makes the middle right floor an InstantDeathRadius, since after a while, Gestalt will climb up and claw anything in its path, which (thankfully) includes other enemies. To top it off, you might think that getting a gun might solve your problems, though since the massive amount of mooks means a pileup of weapons, it's possible to get a melee weapon by accident and getting shot by multiple grunts that can and will drain your TAC-Bar easily. Fortunately, the last part is pretty easy since you can sneak up on the scientists and get a good cache of Dissonance weaponry, though good luck trying to even ''get there'' in the first place.

* ThatOneSidequest: The entire Legacy of the S-3LF Eater update is considered an extremely tedious and boring quest for what it was hyped up as. It essentially amounts to tracking down five graffiti markings and five portals, all while being chased by the S-3LF Eater. While you ''can'' kill the Eater, it is insanely tanky, with the only reward being a "clue" for where the graffiti/portal is located, usually to places that don't even ''have'' the graffiti/portal.

For all the time it spent chasing you and potentially instantly killing you, it's well worth it.

** One of the most universally disliked levels in Arena Mode is the Murder Room. It's essentially just a giant room with slopes, fire pits, and trap doors that, if you stand on them for long enough, instantly destroy your corpus should you fall down them. However, this isn't the reason why this level earns it's place as ThatOneLevel. Instead, it is the utterly ''absurd'' amount of enemies that spawn. Per wave, there is ''[[ZergRush at the least over 100 enemies]]'', most of them being a mix between GoddamnedBats and DemonicSpiders. Surviving the Murder Room isn't so much as a an [[NintendoHard extremely difficult challenge]] and more of an insane endurance/patience test by surviving [[LevelOfTediousEnemies a fuckton of enemies that really only exist to make your life miserable]].

** Apparitions from The Haunting of Nevada House compare to Riot Guards in threat level. Two Corpus blocks, [[TeleportSpam teleporting constantly]], and being a ShieldBearingMook that's ''very'' block-happy. ''And'' [[NoSell they resist Dissonance/explosive weapons]]. It's telling that the Demoniac Demonstrator, the ''actual'' boss-class enemy, goes down ''way'' faster than the Apparition it tends to spawn with.

** Really, just about any enemy with a grab. TheNeedle-wielding damage they deal when holding you in a grab isn't much to write home about, but it ''certainly'' gets annoying to have to mash the dodge button when resuming play, and it doesn't help that their grabs tend to have priority over ''mid-swing'' melee attacks. Even worse are the enemies who can ''throw'' you after grabbing, wasting even more time.

** Director Phobos is not too bad of a boss fight, though he is a reasonable challenge for being the ClimaxBoss of the game. However, what really elevates him to ThatOneBoss status is when you fight him on [[HarderThanHard Madness Mode]]. His attacks are ''significantly'' more deadly and can destroy a corpus in two hits or one. His flying trash attack when you destroy one of his corpus' is a guarnteed loss in two to three corpus' if you can't dodge properly. This, combined with their tracking, make them an infuriating attack to dodge, bordering on unfair. Then, when he gets his sword, it makes fighting him melee borderline impossible, as doing so triggers him to slash at you twice. This, combined with his teleport dashing and fast attack speed, make him a ''nightmare'' to fight. It also doesn't help that, should you die, you have refight Gestalt in order to get back to Phobos, making the fight even more infuriating.

** The Haunting of Nevada House is a close second for Arena Mode. It's not particularly hard, but it has Hard Sell's mechanic of protecting a ritual altar from enemies that come in from several rooms. The main issue, however, is that most of the enemies will chase you and your Hirelings and will ignore the altar, so you can't just stay in one room like in Hard Sell and kill everything that comes your way; you have to hunt down the enemies yourself. It's not so much difficult as it is annoying, thankfully, as it's only in the second batch of missions. More annoying are the Demoniac cultists that ''do'' aim for the altar; they'll appear from one of four windows to try and break it open and get in, but each room has a window that they can appear from (With the library having two) and the AI ignores them entirely. Killing them doesn't even affect the enemy count for the wave!
