* CoolGuns: Mostly sniper rifles, mind, but the other firearms you get to use are pretty cool too.

* {{BFG}}: As the sniper rifles get more expensive, they get larger and larger, culminating in the premium [=M MK82=] (based on the [[CoolGuns/SniperRifles Barrett M82]], which fires a .50 BMG round at such a high velocity that you'll barely have to compensate for distance and wind speed most of the time.

* DramaticGunCock: In "Trailer" and "Bridge", sometimes enemies will work the action of the gun AS they pop out of cover, as opposed to before (pump action shotguns in the former, AK type rifles in the latter). [[RealityEnsues This works in your favour because it makes it significantly easier for you to shoot them before they can start shooting at you.]]

--->'''[[spoiler: Slick-Will:]]''' [[spoiler: You made a big mistake. [[YouKilledMyFather You should have made sure you killed me that night like you made sure you killed my family.]]]]

* GunAccessories: You can customize your sniper rifle with a bipod for greater accuracy, an Eagle Rifle Shooters Stock Pack for quicker reloads and bolt action times, and a sling for better recoil control. You can also purchase a burlap wrap or gillie wrap and a makeshift suppressor for no other reason than RuleOfCool. If you purchased the premium, you can also replace the Troy Battle Sights on your [=M4A1=] with an EoTech or an AimPoint for free.

You control a mysterious character who goes by the name "Lonewolf", and his first missions for a criminal gang called "The Assembly". As he completes more and more missions, his superiors start asking questions: who is this Lonewolf, and what are his motives? %%This is poorly written; someone help rewrite this please.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: While ''technically'' the game is free, attempting to play it without purchasing the 3 dollar premium will leave half of the sniper rifles and scopes, the .45 pistol, and the two superior sights for the M4A1 unavailable to you, as well as having ads play in between levels. None of this is all that bad. What REALLY makes non-premium game-play difficult is the AntiPoopSocking energy bar. Basically, playing a level costs energy and you slowly regenerate energy over time, but if the premium is purchased, this feature is removed. Since the later levels are NintendoHard, this will guarantee that you will be forced to spend several days, if not weeks, on a single level because you only get like five tries a day.

** There's a lot going on in the first few seconds in "Trailer": once you shoot the executioner, you have to shoot the two front door guards with pistols as well as two shotgun-wielding enemies, whose shotguns will fill half of your bar, ''and'' all of this happens in the first two seconds of you opening fire. Should you survive this, at least 50% of your bar is emptied to give you a fighting chance against the remainding enemies, all of which use shotguns.

* ShoutOut: In "Suicide", you have to blast the sidearm out of the hands of a suicidal man, in a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff4XuPtAOUk police sniper Mike Plumb and the "Shot seen 'round the world"]]. The background is the same, and Rimer is even mimicking Douglas Conley's (the suicidal man) movements to a T. The only thing different is that Rimer has a full sized Glock instead of a snubnosed revolver, probably to make it easier for the player to hit.

* HollywoodSilencer: Averted. Unlike most sniping games, where suppressors prevent enemies from noticing you if you miss, even if the shot whizzes past their face, all the suppressor in this game does is lower the flash on the screen and the volume of the gunshot when you fire, and all the enemies in this game WILL notice if a bullet whizzes next to them, irregardless of whether or not you have a suppressor on.

* MythologyGag: Several levels in the game are copies of levels from Tactical Assassin, another sniping game made by SHD Games (specifically the missions "Hospital", "Suicide", "Park"), while "Bridge" reuses a background from Tactical Assassin.

* ArmorIsUseless: Originally PlayedStraight: There were only two levels where enemies wore body armour, but in those two levels, if you played with the pistol, they'd still go down in one hit to the torso. With update 1.2.31, which added the Ruger 10-22 and a new chapter where everyone wore body armour, this became {{Exaggerated}}: you still kill them in one hit if you shoot them in the torso, even with a .22lr! [[spoiler: Inverted to the opposite extreme in the last two levels: enemies there wear bulletproof vests, and if you hit them in the torso they'll take the hit and sound the alarm, even if you used the .50BMG rifle.]]

* ArmorIsUseless: Exaggerated: In some levels, enemies wear bulletproof vests, yet you still kill them if you shoot them in the torso, even with a .22lr! [[spoiler: Inverted to the opposite extreme in the last two levels: enemies there wear bulletproof vests, and if you hit them in the torso they'll take the hit and sound the alarm, even if you used the .50BMG rifle.]]

* BerserkButton:

** Despite having a HairTriggerTemper, Mando has one pressure point that pisses him more than anything else: the incident involving the policeman's family 9 years ago.

** Lonewolf is also revealed to have two, one more severe than the other. The minor BerserkButton is him killing innocent people, and the major one is [[spoiler: him not being able to serve justice to the guilty, which might seem to be contradictory to his current role as gang assassin, but is in fact foreshadowing.]]

* ColdSniper: Lonewolf, natch.

* HollywoodSilencer: Averted. Unlike most sniping games, where suppressors prevent enemies from noticing you if you miss, even if the shot whizzes past their face, all the suppressor in this game does is lower the flash on the screen and the volume of the gunshot when you fire, and all the enemies in this game WILL notice if a bullet whizzes next to them, irregardless of whether or not you have a suppressor on.

* AKA47: Averted, as it's a mobile game so there is no need for it

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: you can buy tips after you a fail a mission, telling you exactly what to do.
