*** However, it's worth noting that the time does depend on where in the heart they were shot and the magnitude of the damage. There are indeed plenty of cases where a shot to the heart does cause virtually instant death (a few seconds at most). Conversely, some head shots don't result in instant death.

Rewrote Video Game Cruelty Potential entry I put before, to add more context.


* DeaderThanDead: While the life syringe can revive dead creatures, it's unable to regrow missing body parts. So if [[ChunkySalsaRule the head of a creature is obliterated to bloody pieces]], it can't be revived anymore.



* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: This game runs on this trope. As you can see in this page, there are many ways to kill characters in this game.

You can bash them with blunt weapons, impale them with bladed weapons, perforate them with guns, blow them up with explosives, crush them with heavy objects, [[PlayingWithSyringes inject harmful substance with the syringes]], and so on...

Those Immune To Bullets examples are not from the vanilla game (since you have to modify the game files to achieve that) , so I removed them, sorry.


* ImmuneToBullets: Downplayed with Androids. They don't take much damage from most bullets, but high-caliber guns like the Sniper Rifle or Minigun can damage them effectively.
** While mostly averted with zombies in the current version of the game, zombies in the early versions of the game were practically bullet sponges and took multiple shots to kill. This feature was later removed in an update, but if one is feeling desperate for some hard to kill zombies, one can either use the ultra strength syringe... or modify the game's zombie syringe/ultra strength syringe in the game's inner workings (which is harder and more complicated) and make whatever is injected with the newly improved syringes stronger and more durable.
** The same could apply for humans whose health can be modified in the game files if one knows what they're doing and plays around with the right parts, ''but good luck finding a coding application that's able to dig into the game's files.'' The same can be done with the ultra strength syringe to give humans and gorses even more ridiculous bullet sponge capability. Hell, if you've got brass balls, know advanced coding, and have a lot of confidence, you could have coded a syringe that gives humans the ability to survive a fucking nuke, or outright give the human the ability through the game's coding.

** The new Bazooka (obviously based on the WWII M1 and [=M1A1=] Bazooka) is capable of tearing apart any organism it is fired at. It can even tear humans in half.

** there are multiple ones to ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''.
*** The Sentry Gun of this game is clearly based on those games, due to the similar behavior (turrets can only shoot the target in front, get knocked down rather easily). In-dev footage shows that they had a placeholder texture that looks just like the ''Portal'' turrets.
*** The launch platform can launch objects into the air, not unlike the Aerial Faith Plate from ''VideoGame/Portal2''. In older versions, this item was exactly named "Aerial Faith Plate".

* UnrealisticBlackHole: The Decimator device emits a black hole-like substance that disintegrates anything that goes within its bounds.
** Powering up the Decimator device with a generator destroys the device and spawns a black hole, and it sucks everything nearby until it despawns.

** While the blood loss and instant kill from head shots are realistic, sadly, shooting the heart does not result in instant death. It takes a little bit for a human being to die from being shot in the heart.
** Heart shots, chest shots, neck stabbing, and any other rupture of major arteries should result in blood squirts and sprays where appropriate.

* HandCannon: Naturally, the Magnum Revolver and the Handcannon(duh). [[spoiler: One of the easter eggs takes this up to eleven, spawning in a humungous version of the Revolver (referred to in-game as the "Normal Sized Gun") that dwarfs even the Machine Gun. A shot from it is roughly comparable to a ''tank shell''.]]

* HealingPotion: The life syringe can heal and reconstruct damaged beings, regardless of the injury or whether it is dead or alive, though if anything loses it's limb, it's gone for good and cannot be restored by the syringe.
* HealingShiv: The Reconstructor can "repair" damaged or killed organic characters with healing juice. ''It cannot repair the damaged skin despite the fact it's called a reconstructor''.

Squick trope is YMMV one, so we should move it into the YMMV page.


* {{Squick}}: 1.25 takes this to the extreme, giving dismemberment a lot more immersion. Now you can see the stringy tissue holding limbs together when you attempt to sever them.
