• RK5's critical hit locations are its missile pods, cockpit, and the engine.

Trivia

• "Raum-Kampfjet" is German for "space combat jet [aircraft]".
• RK5's model is reused as a prop at other points in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary:
  • A ship similar to RK5 appears during a cutscene in Eye to Eye. It deploys Colonel Zarpedon's mech to the arena and drops several Lost Legion soldiers before leaving.
  • Multiple copies of RK5 can be seen at Outfall Pumping Station. They are static and only serve as game scenery.
  • Two Dahl crafts sharing RK5's model appear in The Dawn of New Pandora. They do not attack and are ranked 10 levels above the character, but can be shot down. They have lower health than an equal-level RK5.
  • Crashed RK5s can be seen where Lt. Bolson and Lt. Angvar can be encountered.
