The character's name is "Rin Satsuki", who would have wielded Flower Sign (Type A) and Wind Sign (Type B) Spell Cards. The character was speculated to be a Kirin or a nurse. The only official artwork of this character that exists is from Comiket 62.

A Special Infected called "The Leaker" was being developed. It had similar attacks as the Spitter and Boomer, and the ability to plant itself in the ground and act as a mine bomb. It was removed because the Survivors could run away from it, as the Leaker would alert the Survivors that it was planting itself.

However, it is still possible to play as The Leaker with console commands by using "Map MAPNAME Versus", then typing in console "Boomer_Leaker_Chance" and a number between 0 and 1. You will know when you are a leaker if it says "You are a/the Leaker!", or you explode on death and cause a small fire.

Attachment There were plans of putting a homeless man named Darkel in the game. His missions were to supposedly have you blow up buildings. He was removed after 9/11 attacks, possibly due to the developers thinking Darkel's character was in bad taste. Despite this, Darkel still remains listed in the manual credits and his character remains in the game's data.

Rockstar claimed that Darkel was removed because he did not tonally fit with the rest of the game, and his removal wasn't related to 9/11.

Attachment An unused villager, fan-dubbed Blazel, can be found in the game's code. The villager's name is a series of glitched characters, and has characteristics similar to Bliss and Hazel. Talking to the villager a second time changes its name to Jambette, possibly due to memory errors. An odd quirk is that it's loaded in the memory with other non-villager NPCS.

Duke was originally going to have a sidekick in the form of a gay robot. This wasn't to make fun of gay people, but to add depth to Duke's character. The idea was scrapped during development because the robot had a tragic ending, and the developers felt that Duke was more about action than tragedy.

"'Sexuality is part of the Duke personality.' The head of Gearbox explained that the original idea behind the sidekick was 'to explore how Duke would relate to a peer that might have a different sexual orientation.'"

"Ultimately the robot was in a situation where for in order for victory against the aliens to be accomplished, the robot's inner workings - a nuclear generator - had to be sacrificed."

"Duke is all about having a good time. Do you want to pay $60 to feel like crap? No!"
