* StuffBlowingUp: Rocket launchers weren't exactly standard issue at the time, so what did the Darkwatch do? Stuff a bunch of explosives into a naval signal flare launcher! [[DropTheHammer They added a studded maul to one end for good measure]]. More ordinarily, Jericho can throw sticks of lit dynamite at opponents. Used in one trailer to impressive effect. Oh, and the double-crossbow that shoots bolts with dynamite stuck on 'em.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Banshees can take ludicrous amounts of damage, but can be taken out with several bullets to the head.



* EliteMooks: Undead Darkwatch Regulators are much tougher and can survive a lot more damage compared to regular undead Gunslingers. They're typically only encountered in areas which had a large Darkwatch presence, such as the overrun outpost.

* ContractualBossImmunity: If you try to use the Silver Bullets quad damage during the FinalBoss fight, she'll fly up out of your reach after the first few shots, preventing you from doing any significant damage with it. She's also immune to your other special abilities such as Fear or Vindicator.



* MarathonBoss: The final boss fights against Lazarus and [[spoiler: Tala[=/=]Cassidy]] are very long, as the bosses have insane health bars. You can use a damage boosting power like Silver Bullets to take out Lazarus more quickly, but this won't work on the FinalBoss as they just fly out of your reach after the first few shots if you try it.

%%* SniperRifle* SniperRifle: The Range Rifle is equipped with a sniper scope and can kill most basic enemies with a headshot or a couple torso shots. However, rate of fire and ammo capacity are lower than the unscoped Carbine.

* RegeneratingShieldStaticHealth: One of the many influences from ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'' in ''Darkwatch'' is a static health bar and a regenerating "blood shield". Unlike ''Halo'', small amounts of health can be restored from blood pickups dropped by killed enemies.

* BrokenPedestal: While hitchhiking inside Jericho's head as a SpiritAdvisor, [[spoiler: Cassidy]] gets to see the shady side of Darkwatch she wasn't privy to as a Regulator, including breeding monsters for experimentation and using captured civilians in live-fire training exercises, causing her to realize that Darkwatch isn't the upstanding bastion of justice she thought it was. However, given the alternative is an army of the dead hellbent on bringing about Hell on Earth, the Darkwatch remain the "good guys" by default.
