Added DiffLines:
* BulletproofHumanShield: You cannot shoot through players with anything other than a sniper. Amusingly (or not), this includes your teammates, which can result in you missing a crucial kill from an ally walking in front of you.
** This also applies to any thrown objects or projectiles such as heartbeat sensors and grenades. Anyone who has wasted a heartbeat sensor as Vassili, or who has gibbed themselves as Nader/Fragger/etc. on a teammate will have a ''lot'' to say about this particular element of the game.

* HitboxDissonance: The hitboxes of melee weapons have an arc of influence in front of the player, and it lasts a little bit longer than you would expect; it's entirely possible to hit two enemies in the same swing, or to swing at one enemy and then ''turn around to hit another'' with the same swing. Getting a ''melee multikill'' is quite a satisfying achievement.
Added DiffLines:
* OneHitPolykill: The sniper rifles can do this; however, they are an unusual example in that there is ''no'' damage falloff when you penetrate targets, meaning you could theoretically headshot ''an entire team'' with one bullet (as long as there are no Rhinos).

** Lone-Wolfing can let a good player do some damage, but more often than not, it's more effective to work on the objectives. That being said, there are occasions where an enemy team focused on the front lines might not notice a single player slipping behind them to complete the objective.
** Bum-rushing enemies is generally a suicidal move, unless you happen to be good at walljumping and can stay in the air to throw their aim off while still landing hits. For the most part, unless the enemy is already weakened or it's very close quarters, rushing in is just a good way to give the enemy free kills.

* AKA47: Played straight. All of the weapons are based on real guns, but are given made-up (or [[PunnyName punny]]) names.
* DeadlyGas: Present in many maps as a map hazard-slash-secondary objective. They often block alternate routes or forward spawns; one team can repair gas pumps to clear them out, while the other team can typically destroy the pumps to put it back and deny the other team access.

Added DiffLines:
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Only Bronze-rarity cards have any tangible benefit; the three rarities above that (Silver, Gold, and Cobalt) only have flashier weapons and gear.
* BlingBlingBang: Gold-rarity loadouts have golden guns. Cobalt ones are even shinier. (They're both just as effective as the regular ones.)

Added DiffLines:
* LudicrousGibs: Rare, but dying to explosives when low on health or bleeding out has a chance to cause this. Skyhammer's airstrikes will always do this on a direct hit. (Obviously, you can't be revived from being a pile of limbs.)

* CombatMedic: Encouraged. Medic's defibrillators work near-instantly (or can be briefly charged for a stronger revive), and their methods of healing, while varied, are universally fire-and-forget, as opposed to, for example, the TeamFortress2 medic, who needs to have his attention constantly on his patients. Because of this, and because medics' guns are just as effective as any other mercenary's, they are encouraged to shoot as much as they heal.
* TheEngineer: Several mercenaries are classified as this; they perform context-sensitive objectives like repairing or planting/defusing C4 much faster than their counterpart.

* StuffBlowingUp: Multiple mercs have the ability to invoke this:
** Arty and Skyhammer call down mortar strikes and airstrikes, respectively.
** Fragger and Nader utilize grenades (via throwing them and shooting them from a launcher, respectively.)
** Fletcher and Proxy use mines, with Fletcher's being remote-detonated and Proxy's being proximity.
* TakingYouWithMe: Nader drops a live grenade when she dies. While it can kill enemies, it also prevents her from being revived.
