* ArtificialStupidity: Pathfinding of NPC entities often falls into this trope. Togusa's [[ActionBomb Seeker Drones]] and the Think Tank you can summon in Terminal Conquest mode will chase a nearest foe and barely change their target, often blundering into opponent's midst. In the case of [[MightyGlacier Think Tank]] however, this could be a blessing for the players considering how powerful it is.

Togusa's [[ActionBomb Seeker Drones]] and the Think Tank you can summon in Terminal Conquest mode will chase a nearest target and ''only that'' without considering enemies it found along the way, often blundering into opponent's midst. In the case of [[MightyGlacier Think Tank]] however, this could be a blessing for the players.

* InfraredXrayCamera: Saito's Heat Sensor ability lets him and other players see the positions of the enemy. Far away on the map, they just show up as arrows indicating their general position, but closer up, you'll see a red silhouette through the surroundings. Enemy think tanks also show up as red silhouettes so that players know where it is at all times.

** SpringJump: It also makes the user jumps higher than normal.

* EyepatchOfPower: Saito's cybernetic Hawkeye, just like from the series.

* OneWayVisor: All members of Section 9 wear a combat visor. The enemies for the Public Security Section 9 map are wearing black sunglass visors as well.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: The developers have stated that there is no "Pay to Win" business model with this game. All in-game purchases are for cosmetic items, and XP or GP boosters. Leveling up in the game gives you no particular advantage. It just gives you more money to buy more guns, and you have to unlock the guns manually in the first place. It also lets you unlock more characters to play as beyond the your initial choice.

* DroneDeployer: Togusa's ability has him activating an AttackDrone that seeks out the nearest target and explodes. It's an instant kill if you get hit by it, but at level 2, the drone also deploys an EMP effect to the surrounding area.

* EverythingIsOnline: Cyberspace, to be precise. Every character in the game uses a full cyberbody, including flesh-and-blood Togusa. The matches start off with you initiating a net dive, you wait for the maps to load up, guns that are dropped on the ground have a digital field over them, and body parts digitally appear and disappear. Chief Aramaki occasionally makes mention of the network being too tough to secure when you lose, and the Tachikoma always says "Beginning Cyberbrain Protocol" when it is summoned onto the map. Everything seems to indicate that all the fighting takes place online, which isn't out of the question for this series.
