* ArtificialStupidity: Bots are at least functional but are deliberately undertuned and not intended as a substitute for human players, and many levels are not intended to be completable using only the bots, unlike bots in games like ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' or ''VideoGame/AliensFireteamElite'' which are decent enough to allow you to play through the entire game solo on Normal or even Hard. Not only can they not split focus and complete multiple objectives at once (which is at least understandable, as most bots in this genre can't), which many levels require, but they're also subpar in combat, often hesitating for a good second or two before shooting each individual enemy even in intense firefights and often making poor target prioritization choices. The bots also immediately fall to pieces the instant you the human player get downed and are out of the fight. On the whole they're meant to gives solos a taste of the game's gameplay rather than allow them to play through the game entirely. This is further compounded by the game's lack of built-in matchmaking; unless you have friends to play it with, the game outright tells you that you're expected to put a party together through social media channels.

** As of Rundown 7, a new group of sleepers spawning will produce a distant scream. Player Characters are so unnerved they will comment on it.

* GoldenEnding: [[spoiler: The Release Ending in Rundown 8.0, which concludes with the prisoners using a portal to [[TitleDrop get the fuck out]] of not only the Garganta facility but their ''dimension altogether'', arriving at a world that hasn't been infected by NAM-V, and if it is Earth, it might not have had the facility site dug at all. As the protagonists exit the teleportation chamber they're in, they find themselves outside any interiors, on a cliff inside a lush forest, overlooking many mountains with the sun in view, and [[CliffHanger then]], over a loudspeaker, the voice of Dr. James Durant, one of Garganta's scientists, can be heard telling them that they are in a restricted zone and to not move due to local traps, leading to the credits scene.]]

* ExtradimensionalEmergencyExit: [[spoiler: The final goal in Rundown 8.0 is to achieve this towards a dimension lacking the NAM-V pathogen, all while the Garganta Complex is enduring a core meltdown that threatens to kill them.]]

** In Rundown 8.0 [[spoiler: the existence of alternate timelines enters plain view, resulting in both the teams of the original and alternate Rundowns being playable. It also fully shows how far has original Schaeffer's sanity fallen, leading to his prisoner team betraying, and out of self-defence, killing him. It concludes with the original team teleporting to a universe lacking the NAM-V contamination, where it is discovered that they might not be so alone]].

** Rundown 6, which came with the game's full 1.0 release, seems to clarify exactly what's going on to a decent degree: [[spoiler: the Corporation has been drilling into the meteor crater in search of ancient alien artifacts, one of which allows teleportation to another dimension. Said dimension is occupied by at least 1 massive skyscraper-sized creature with physiological similarities to the Sleepers, hinting that the other dimension is the source of the parasitic virus]].

* ArmorPiercingAttack: All HEL weapons fire high-energy lasers that pierce targets, letting you kill multiple with one shot.

** The Valiant Ending ({{R8E1}}): [[spoiler: The team is led to a dead end by Schaeffer (actually their alternate counterpart), from where there is no way out and Sleepers never stop coming. Eventually their resources will fully deplete and larger enemies come, resulting in their inevitable deaths.]]
** The Release Ending ({{R8E2}}): [[spoiler: The team finishes all preparations for the Matter Wave Projector and use alternate Schaeffer's instructions to find and teleport to a universe free of the NAM-V pathogen, where they shortly after find themselves on a cliff inside a lush forest, overlooking many mountains with the sun in view, where the voice of Dr. James Durant, one of Garganta's scientists, can be heard telling them that they are in a restricted zone and to not move due to local traps.]]
