There are occasions when a character can be killed either through hanging, beheading or being coerced to jump onto large spinning circular saws blades and if unwilling to do so, they are physically dragged and kicked onto the spinning blades. This is accompanied with screams and copious amounts of blood. The moment at which the character meets the spinning blade is not observed, but there is still sufficient bodily detritus and blood seen as the incident unfolds. Events such as these are presented as 3D cut scenes, which adds to the overall gratuitous nature of the violence, which are invariably greeted by applause and cheers from the non-playing characters, as the victims are seen as traitors.

There is also an instance of the use of the sexual expletive ‘fuck’. It is seen as on-screen text.

Although there is the consumption of unnamed drugs, the visual effects and the demise of the character after having taken them is sufficient to regard this event as the use of an illegal drug.
