Powerups#
Stat Powerup Items#
There are unused textures for earlier versions of the stat powerup pickups. The icons are drawn similar to the pre-alpha's menu icons, suggesting they were made by the same person that made the pre-alpha menu icons.
The models these textures were meant to be used on can be found in the pre-alpha.
Early Wraith Orb Model#
An early Wraith Orb model named "wraith" can be found. It is simply a sphere, instead of the final's sphere with a demon skull wrapped around it. No texture for it exists.

Episode 1#
Early Plasteel Armor#
An unused Plasteel Armor model is present in Episode 1's model files. Its UV maps point to the final's Plasteel Armor texture, which creates a lot of texture errors on the model. A fixed version of this model appears in-game in the MPlayer Demo.
Episode 2#
Early Episode 2 Armor#
What appears to be a texture containing the Gold and Silver Armors used in Episode 2 can be found in the skins folder. These textures have a much rougher style not seen in any of the final's artwork, suggesting that this texture is very old and is likely from when Daikatana was on the Quake 1 engine.
Episode 2 Health Pickup#
This unused texture for the health pickup items in Episode 2 is much smaller and lighter than the one used. Its style is completely different as well, suggesting it was made during an earlier development phase.

Episode 2 Mushroom#
A small texture for a mushroom can be found. Two copies of this texture exist in the games' files; one is called "a2_mush1", while the other is called "wa_mush1". Based on its naming scheme for both textures, it was supposed to appear in Episode 2 and was an ammo pickup. It might've been an ammo pickup for the scrapped Midas weapon, as its ammo type is unknown.
Episode 3#
Early Episode 3 Armor#
A file containing the textures for both the Chainmail and Black Adamant armor from Episode 3 can be found in the /skins folder. The Chainmail armor actually looks like chainmail, while the Black Adamant Armor is much less detailed than the final's skin.

Episode 4#
Unused Episode 4 Armor Texture#
A texture for a dark grey armor not seen in the final game can be found. Based on the name “a4_armor”, it was meant to be for E4. The style is completely different from the armor in E4.
CTF Flag#
Unused Skins#
Several unused skins for the CTF flag with texture colors that would never fit into CTF, such as orange or purple, exist.
Skull Flag#
An alternate flag design with a skull on it exists in the game's files. There is a variation for all of the flag colors the regular flag has, including the unused ones mentioned above.
Temporary CTF Flag Texture#
What looks like a temporary texture for the CTF flag can be found in the game's files.
