Trivia
- Before Patch 3.6.0, when Bear Traps could still be sabotaged, Saboteur's icon reflected that fact by portraying a broken Bear Trap.
- On the original official website, Saboteur featured a flavour text: "Hopefully this'll buy me some time."
- It should be noted that sabotaging a Hook with Saboteur does not prevent the creation of a Loud Noise Notification, which will inform the Killer of the action.
