He has a number of unused dialogue lines that can be found in the game's string tables:
- The player was initially able to help Wolfhound (who was a member of Freedom in pre-release builds) eliminate Kruglov and steal his data, after what Snitch would reward the player with 1000 RU and a grenade launcher[non-game. 2]. Interestingly, he has a GP-25 Koster grenade launcher in his inventory, which is likely a leftover from this interaction.
- After completing this mission, Snitch can reveal that he's sympathetic towards Freedom[non-game. 3] but refuses to disclose any more, saying that he's officially neutral[non-game. 4]. He also claims Duty is controlled by the Ukrainian government and is meant to pave the way for a military operation[non-game. 5].

Trivia
- Snitch will always say his two lines, even after the player has bought all his information.
- Although the game describes him as a Loner, he wears a bandit's trench coat. Within the game files (such as task_manager.ltx) he is referred to as "mercenary".
- He has a GP-25 Koster grenade launcher and a box of 5.56x45mm SS109 ammunition in his inventory, although the player is unable to buy either item from him.
