* CycleOfHurting: Dealing any amount of damage to an enemy staggers them briefly. Keeping up the pressure with constant hits makes it virtually impossible for lone enemies to retaliate. It doesn't matter all that much against basic mercs due to their low health, but can be a lifesaver when up against Heavy Armored Soldiers. Notably, Igor himself is immune to this.

** One way to play this trope somewhat straight relies on the fact that each weapon in your inventory is loaded individually. Some players exploit this to circumvent the revolver's slow reload by carrying multiple loaded revolvers and quickly drawing another one instead of reloading the one in their hands.

Some players exploit this to circumvent the revolver's slow reload by carrying multiple loaded revolvers and quickly drawing another one instead of reloading the one in their hands. This also works with the other guns, shotguns in particular, but is most often used on revolvers due to their relative abundance in the Zone.

* TakeYourTime: Played with. You generally don't need to rush through missions and can take your time enjoying the scenery, but if you dawdle for too long, the Black Stalker tracks you down and forces you into a BossBattle. A reasonable amount of hustle is therefore recommended to avoid wasting resources battling an otherwise avoidable, very dangerous enemy.

This is especially dangerous if you aren't self-sufficient in terms of food and your reserves are running low.

* BreakableWeapons: Averted, which actually makes a lot of sense despite not being given an explanation. All firearms in the Zone are tried and proven Soviet-era workhorses like the Nagant revolver or the ever-popular [=AK-47=] that are famous for their ruggedness and reliability in almost any environment. Taking them for a spin for a few hours each day won't bother them much, and Igor's probably giving them proper maintenance offscreen once he's back at base.
Added DiffLines:
* DesignItYourselfEquipment: All weapons except for the [[{{BFG}} plasma thrower]] can be modified, often in pretty significant ways. There's the usual fare like bigger magazines or different sights, but you can also change the function of a gun, most notably the assault rifle, which can be rebuilt into a designated marksman rifle or a light machine gun ([[ShownTheirWork which is par for the course for the legendarily rugged and versatile [=AK-47=] platform).]]

* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: For a very loose definition of "greater good". You can build a device called VR Inception that lets you improve your companions' opinion of you by breaking into their minds while they sleep. This is done via a {{Roguelike}} minigame of sorts that pits you against 15 waves of randomly picked enemies, with a BossBattle every five stages. If you make it to the end, you can add one favorable decision event to one companion per run. While the machine does offer a get-out-of-jail-free card of sorts in case you really messed up a relationship, it's an arduous process clearly not meant to be used frequently.
