- Painkillers are great when you can't be bothered with pesky bullet wounds.
- Grenades are popular with gangsters and apparently easy to come by.
- Structures are reinforced against grenades and molotov fires, but not scripted explosives.
- Taunting a guy who can mow through your private army will eventually demoralize him, just keep taunting until he crumbles.
- Mooks' friends and family don't really care that you killed their kin and won't go after you. Only the main characters have a sense of grief.
- If you got enough Heroic Willpower, getting headshot is only a mild injury. You'll be good as new after catching your breath!
- Shoot hostage takers without hesitation, or they'll surely kill the hostage(s).
- A magnum bullet to the head is only a mild inconvenience for some people.
- A .50 BMG round to the shoulder can be treated with basic first aid sometimes. Other times, the target drops dead like they got clubbed on the head.
