Czech names in game

[David Kolář]

Does anyone know, why lot of item names in this game comes from czech language? I don't know about any connection of Czech people with this game.

For example weapons:
Kladivo (Hammer), Vdova (Widow), Plechovka (Tin can), Sokol (Falcon), Pozhar (Fire), Prizrak (Phantom / Wraight), Zabijak (Killer) and now new DLC weapon "Kousavá rifle" (Biting rifle), which even contains diacritic letter (long á).

Same for vehicles:
Ptakojester (Pterosaurus), Pavouk (Spider), Hrom (Thunder), Mstitel (Avenger), Postolka (Kestrel), Racek (Seagull), Dravec (Predator), Akrobat (Acrobat), Hroch (Hippo).

There is no chance this is coincidence with another world language. I just wonder why so much Czech names, which is my native small country, comes to this game :).

Devs probably thought it sounded cool.

Yeah I thought about it too :) I just wonder if it is coincidence (random translation on Google Translator) or if some of the devs has Czech heritage :)

I think all of the weapons and vehicles mentioned are made by urga in game, urga may be a fictional czech company.

Yes, it seems so. However question is still there, why they decided to locate URGA company to czech republic :).

Chances are there was a Czech dev working on the game as well.
