Boring But Practical and Difficult But Awesome aren't YMMV tropes, moved to main page.
Added DiffLines:
* BoringButPractical: Safety Discipline. Things like engaging the safety of your gun (if it has one) or simply slow holstering your gun whenever you don't need it aren't going to help you fight killdrones. However, practicing these extensively will ensure that you don't waste ammo or shoot yourself by accident.
Added DiffLines:
* DifficultButAwesome: The Colt Single Action Army is very slow to reload, requires manually cocking the hammer for every shot, and only has the standard 6 round capacity of revolvers. However, its .45 Colt bullets hit almost as hard as .50 Action Express, meaning that if you take careful aim, one shot will almost always be enough to take down a killdrone. The fact that a de-cocked hammer acts as a makeshift safety (preventing [[IjustShotMarvinInTheFace Glocklegging]]) doesn't hurt either. And of course, [[CoolGuns it's the Colt Single Action Army]]. With it you can channel your inner Creator/ClintEastwood or [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Revolver Ocelot]].

Added DiffLines:
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The tape that describes the Desert Eagle gives it (and the people who use it) some scathing lambasting that borders on TheReasonYouSuckSpeech territory. Gameplay-wise, it's a [[GameBreaker useful gun to have]], due to the obscene power of the [=.50AE=] cartridge it uses. Just remember to safely holster it. [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog Bad things will happen]] [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace if you]] [[PressXToDie don't]].

** However, players of the original game who had sufficiently quick muscle memory when reloading semiautomatics may end up shooting themselves to death because of this game's added negligent discharge mechanic.

* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: An invoked and discussed trope. Reckless gun usage can result in a ton of accidental discharges or issues with the clip feeding into the slide, making your casings get stuck or worse. The biggest example of this is that you can accidentally shoot ''yourself'' if you don't holster slowly, or you holster while your safety is off.

* DeconstructionGame: Even more so than the first game, ''Receiver 2'' is a clear TakeThat against GunPorn and firearms-focused media, as well as tackling the relationship modern society has with guns. In media, guns are portrayed as easy to use death machines that operate on a point-and-shoot basis. In ''Receiver 2'', guns are irritating and fussy pieces of equipment that require training, hand-eye coordination and muscle memory to effectively use, and even then there are too many random variables to use them without putting yourself at ''some'' level of risk. Aka, ''just like how guns are in real life.'' The game also lampoons the fascination society has with guns, treating them more like status symbols and toys rather than the deadly weapons they really are. The entries on the [[HandCannon Desert Eagle]] point out how the popular gun is [[AwesomeButImpractical cool yet dangerous and expensive]], while the Glock's lack of a safety turns what would be a useful weapon into a [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace walking hazard for your health.]] At the same time, the game does {{Reconstruct}} these tropes- guns are ''weapons'' after all, and treating them with respect and diligently using them brings out their real effectiveness.

''Receiver 2'' is the upcoming sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Receiver}}'', once again developed by Wolfire Games.
The game, like the original, places the operation and mechanics of firearms center-stage as the focus of game-play. If you want to reload for example, you need to remove the magazine from the firearm, insert bullets into it, re-insert the magazine, and pull the slide to chamber a round.
And you have to do it all manually.
Pressing "R" does not automatically reload your gun with a cool animation. You have to do each step by yourself; while trying to avoid turrets and flying taser kill-drones that are coming after you.
Your objective is to navigate a metropolitan city in the United States and collect cassette tapes to prepare yourself against the Threat and become an awake [[TitleDrop Receiver]].
The game features the same guns that were present in the original (Colt M1911, Smith & Wesson Model 10, and Glock 17 with FSS-G Fire Select), but also adds new ones. Namely, the Glock 40, and the Colt Single Action Army.
!!Tropes
* AfterTheEnd: Several places in the city appear to have been abandoned or trashed as a result of the mind kill.
* AllOrNothingReloads: Just like in the original game, simply by the virtue of the gun operation mechanics, this is averted.
* ArtEvolution: The original game looked decent enough, but lacked textures in its environments and the city was pretty obviously a backdrop. This game features much more advanced lighting, gun models, and detailed environments.
* FirstPersonGhost: Like the first game, all items you manipulate and use hover in front of you. However, if you look at your reflection in a mirror or glass window, you'll see [[spoiler:yourself as a gun range target]].
* GhostCity: The metropolitan environment that the player explores is completely devoid of other people, the only things accompanying you are kill-drones.
