!!''War Brokers'' includes the following tropes:

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Battle Royale mode has a red circle which shrinks faster as the game progresses.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Clothes items are usually given away during special events. For example, during the Easter event, killing a person dressed in a bunny outfit would give you a piece of that bunny outfit (or a chicken outfit).
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: A player cannot pick up a piece of armor that is weaker than the one they are currently wearing.
* OneHitKill: Landing a crossbow shot is guaranteed to killer another person.
* CaptureTheFlag: In the case of Package Drop, it's capture the package. Players have to bring the package to their area to get points..
* CarFu: Land vehicles can be used to run over other players, especially the cars in Battle Royale.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Damage and low health don't do anything to impede a character's movements.
* DoNotRunWithAGun:
** Jumping and running increases the player's bloom.
** Players can run slightly faster without a gun equipped.
* EasterEgg: The Temple has a hidden tomb in one of the rock spires.
* EscortMission: One of the missions is to escort a tank across the playing area farther than the opponents escort theirs.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Punching is often used at the beginning of a Battle Royale match before a player can find a weapon.
* GrenadeLauncher: A weapon in Classic Mode which has a round of six grenades which explode on impact, unlike thrown grenades.
* KnifeFight: For short-range battles, if a character runs out of ammo or doesn't have a gun, their best bet is using the knife on their opponent.
* LeParkour: Jumping over buildings can be used to evade the enemy, or access a good position for sniping. It's also a common method of dodging an enemy's gunfire.
* LimitedLoadout:
** In Battle Royale mode, players can at most carry two guns, a pistol/revolver, grenades, and a knife.
** Downplayed in Classic mode, where players can carry grenades, a knife, and two custom weapons which can be changed at any time. Some levels also have a BGM and Air Strike.
* LittleUselessGun: Oftentimes players just pick up a pistol to fill the slot in case they run out of rifle ammo.
* LootBoxes: Crates with cosmetics can be bought in the store using an in-game currency.
* MoonLandingHoax: One of the hangars in Space Port has a set for a fake moon landing.
* NoArcInArchery: For most off the weapons, bullets and arrows travel in a straight path. The only weapons that have a noticeable bullet drop are the sniper, .50 cal, and VSS.
* RagdollPhysics: The crash test dummy and bodies of dead players can be kicked around.
* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: The loot is randomly placed in certain spots on the map. Some particular places always include a rare item like a heavy helmet or large health.
* RemilitarizedZone: Somme is based on a UsefulNotes/WorldWarI battle, with trenches and a turret gun.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Especially when compared to pistols. A headshot with a revolver can often take out that player, whereas a pistol is often ineffective.
* ShoutOut:
** The city Del Gato is named after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMI45f44WlM a video]] by Creator/JackBlack.
** The ending message sometimes includes references to the ''VideoGame/PlayerUnknownsBattlegrounds'' ending message "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" or ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'''s "The cake is a lie".
* SniperPistol: The revolver supports a 6x scope.
* VirtualPaperDoll: Players can add cosmetics to their character.
