* BloodKnight: Happens to anyone who becomes infected with the "Serum"
* {{BFG}}: The Automan Cannon, a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolving]] launcher that fires [[StuffBlowingUp nitroglycerin-tipped rockets.]]
* CoolAirship: The ''Corsair'', a small, maneuverable craft with dual envelopes and six maneuvering propellers. It serves as the Peacemakers' home and headquarters. Comes complete with a set of [[CoolPlane steam gliders.]]
* CoolBike: The steam motorcycles (and tricycle) that the crew ride, which among other things are capable of reaching speeds of about 160 MPH and driving sideways on walls.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Professor Charles Winslow, formerly of Prescott Standard Industries. The last straw was converting Automen for military use- he'd intended them to help reconstruction efforts. He designed a lot of other tech including the bikes, the ''Corsair'', and Autorevolvers.
* DevelopmentHell: ''Damnation'' began as a total conversion mod for ''Unreal Tournament 2004''. It missed its original scheduled release date by several months and was released in an obviously unfinished state.
* FunWithAcronyms: PSI for Prescott Standard Industries. Those who know their steam might recognize that it also stands for Pounds per Square Inch.
* HandCannon: The multi-chamber revolver probably counts, but there's the Golden Eagle: a double-barreled, .729 caliber hand-shotgun. And not a SawedOffShotgun, either- a shotgun in the shape of a HandCannon. The Vorpal Mechanical Repeater is an even better example, being what looks like a flaregun that instagibs anyone hit by the shot (of course, it's only unlockable with a cheat code).
* HistoricalInJoke: During the OpeningNarration, a newspaper that primarily displays that PSI is now the exclusive weapons supplier also reads "Inventors Edison, [[NikolaTesla Tesla]] charged with sedition"
* KillerRobot: "Automen", coal-fired, steel-armored walking tanks that come armed with [[{{BFG}} repeating cannons,]] that apparently have miniaturized Babbage engines for brains. At one point, the heroes make use of a damaged one to clear some rubble, opening the way forward.
* LaResistance: Rourke and his allies.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Yakecan.
* MoreDakka: This game has not one but two steam-powered automatics: The Revenant Gun delivers high damage, while the PSI machine gun has a blistering fire rate. The latter even has ''two'' separate pressure canisters, one to power the firing mechanism and another for the magazine feed.
* NiceHat: Rourke. This also goes for Prescott's {{Mooks}}. ''All of them.'' This game isn't short on [[NiceHat Nice Hats.]]
* OutsideRide: The trikes have rear rollcages that double as handlebars, allowing your AI buddies to provide you with cover fire.
