Trivia[]
- The silencer used to be always attached to world model, even if it is not attached in first-person. This is no longer the case for the default variant with the new world model, but is still true for Red and Battle variants.
- When reloading, a stack of loaded bullets inside the magazine is still in there even though the player is out of ammo or reloading for the new magazine. This also happens to the Red and Battle variants.
- The USP was previously the default weapon for players spawning in Zombie Scenario without using the Battle Revival. This made it difficult for players to kill zombies for cash, prompting NEXON Corporation to provide the MP5 as the standard issued primary, and then subsequently replaced with the K3.
- In some Beta versions of Counter-Strike, the USP had 2 draw animations, a nondetachable silencer and a tactical flashlight attached to it.
- The black icon of USP may come from the USP in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes.
- The texture of Battle USP is redesigned in HQ version, resulting in texture shrinking over the small model surface.
- In Zombie File mode, the Battle USP is available to be picked up in order to fight against zombies.
