Trivia

• The name of this update references human instincts: Fight or Flight, or the more complete version, Fight, Flight or Freeze. When humans are in danger, they either fight back (fight), run away (flight) or stay in place (freeze).
  • Technically the name Fight, Flight or Freeze could still work considering the map Frigid was included in this update.
