Crosswicked new trope Ammo Using Melee Weapon
Added DiffLines:
*AmmoUsingMeleeWeapon: The Crashblade can disable any shield and kill the shielded enemy behind it in one stroke, but only has one use before it turns into a regular longblade. Cherry's Fatal Attraction can pierce through shields and armor, teleports you to the enemy you're killing with it, and can be recharged between missions.

* PurposelyOverpowered: Liberators are spawned by the game if liberations are going far too slowly. They are always armed to the teeth with some of the best and most dangerous gear possible, all to deal with the extremely hard "liberation missions" and then be retired. These are actually an optional feature, and can be toggled on or off depending on your preference.

* HollywoodSilencer: Played with. Guns are normally quite loud, but can come in ''Quiet'' or ''Silent'' versions. ''Quiet'' reduces the sound radius significantly (though the weapon can still be heard in adjacent rooms), whilst ''Silent'' reduces the sound radius to one or two meters at most.

* InvincibleHero: Invoked - Your character can get a reputation for this...and it's not a good thing. As you complete more and more missions with one character, stories of your exploits become more and more commonplace, and thus, less inspiring to the resistance, to the point where people just ''expect'' you to win all the time and don't pay attention. You need to move on to new heroes in order to keep the wheels of the resistance rolling.

* EliteMooks: Contractors, introduced with the Challenge Update. There are four kinds, each kind being noted on the misson briefing if they appear. The kinds are:
** Defenders: Provide shields to anyone nearby, including other contractors. These shields cannot be removed by any means unless the Defender who provides them is taken down - the Defender has an ordinary shield vulnerable to Crashers and Subverters.
** Trackers: Always know where you are - and as soon as they see you, they'll shoot you with their High-Velocity Rifles, which are impossible to dodge.
** Jammers: Lay down devices that disable all gadgets within the field they put up. They can be shut off once you get close enough, thankfully. If you try to glitch into the field the device puts up, the field disrupts the glitch, which may cause you to teleport into space.
** Predators: Project a purple field that expands and contracts periodically. If you enter the field, they will immediately teleport to you and stab you. Shields won't protect you from their attacks, either.

On September 5, 2018, the "Challenge Update" beta was released, adding [[EliteMook Contractors]], new alarm responses, daily challenge missions, and modifiers for characters.
** As of the Challenge Update, bringing up the store menu for one store will bring up the menus for all the stores at once - so you no longer have to move about the shops to buy items of different kinds.
** Also added in the Challenge Update - Upon becoming alerted, guards will shout different phrases depending on what alerted them - if a gunshot or body did so, they will shout "Gunshot!" or "Body!", repsectively.

** There's also ''Tesh's Instant Connection'', a unique concussion hammer that has an instant recovery and a slipstream effect upon landing a hit, and ''Cherry's Fatal Attraction'', a unique longblade that can be used once to both teleport to a target and stab them... through shields. While the hammer is even faster than the normal concussion hammer, its slipstream effect is hard to control and it can't do anything to shields or armor. Meanwhile, the longblade's teleport ability can only be used once before it simply behaves like an armor-piercing longblade. Nonetheless, those two weapons are still much more effective tools than normal.

** The Challenge Update adds a "Dying" modifier to some characters, which gives them ten minutes to complete their personal mission and retire before they "[run] out of time".

* BoringButPractical: Wrenches and longblades. They'll be the first weapons you pick up and likely see you through to retirement. While they're not the strongest and don't do anything fancy, they can handle any job that doesn't involve shields and armor largely on their own, and even those with a bit of support. They can even surpass guns in utility by being unlimited and silent by default.
