Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Cortège is a French term referring to processions. Its antiquated use as a loaned word in the English language though equated it with funeral processions exclusively.
- During the Heart of Deimos quest, the enemy Necramech wields a Cortege during cutscenes, and at one point fires Mausolon-like full-auto rounds. However, when fought it is armed with a Mausolon instead.
