* PurelyAestheticGender: The game makes no narrative or gameplay distinction between a male and female Outrider. All that changes is the Outrider's appearance and voice. Some dialogue however tends to refer to the player Outrider as male, but by and large the game enforces GenderNeutralWriting.

* AnArmAndALeg: {{Downplayed|}} - her limbs are all still there at a glance [[spoiler: but after a rock chuck from a Pax structure she lifted up with her Altered power fell on her, she is unable to use her legs and must get around in a wheelchair.]]

* HealingFactor: A rare for the genre example where the player's ability to rapidly heal from injury is not GameplayAndStorySegregation. Not only one of their first actions as an Altered is pulling a piece of rebar out from their chest, a conversation suggests slipping their throat in their sleep will ''not'' kill them, and a sidequest has them brute forcing their way through a rigged game of Russian Roulette - [[spoiler: that is to say, shooting themselves in the head, getting up, and handing the gun back.]]

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: They're referred to as "Boss" by their teammates, and are ostensibly in charge of the group. The Outrider is also by far the best fighter.

* TokenEvilTeammate: She's easily the most antagonistic of the Expedition. She only comes along because she was ordered to, and often clashes with The Outrider. Luckily, AsskickingEqualsAuthority is in full effect and she's no match for The Outrider [[spoiler: even after she's briefly Altered.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: It turns out the Pax's society was once much more like humanity's, and in fact the Anomaly is the result of them exploiting their planet's natural resources, eventually leading to the collapse of their civilization (although, unlike humans, they stopped before they destroyed the entire world). The Pax seen in the present are the descendants of a splinter group that voluntarily regressed to a more primitive way of living, one more in tune with nature and the Anomaly.

* VillainousValor: Audio logs you can find in the First City indicate that every attempt to study the Black Fungus resulted in the scientists doing the studying being infected and dying, no matter what precautions they took, as the fungus was able to eventually penetrate any form of protective suit or containment. Scurlock was well aware that everyone before him who attempted to cure or even study the Black Fungus ended up killed by it, but that didn't deter him from spending years developing a cure.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked


* NotSoDifferent: ''Worldslayer'' reveals that the Pax were once not so different from humanity, and it turns out the Anomaly is actually a result of the Pax's own exploitation of their planet's natural resources in their distant past. However, unlike humans who completely destroyed Earth, the Pax stopped after their civilization was destroyed and now live a simpler, primative lifestyle more in balance with the environment and the Anomaly they unleashed.
