  • The Staff of Lightning (Kimat's Bite) is named after Kimat, the Dog of the Tinguian God, Kadaklan.
  • The Staff of Fire (Kagutsuchi's Blood) is named after the Japanese God of Fire, Kagutsuchi.

• Once upgraded, all of the Staffs will have a different weapon switch animation that has a longer duration.

• The ammo of the elemental staffs increase by three shots in the order:
  • Wind: three shots.
  • Ice: six shots.
  • Fire: nine shots.
  • Lightning: twelve shots.
  • When the elemental staffs are upgraded, this number of shots increases by three (except for the lightning staff, which gains six more shots)
  • After upgrading, blades come out of the top of each staff. This is easily seen on the Staff of Ice.
• The staffs can be seen in the map Revelations, in the Kino der Toten section of the map, being wielding by cardboard cutouts of Primis, albeit it is unknown if they are they obtainable. They can also be seen in the ending cutscene for Revelations.
