!!Tropes in Showgunners:!!''Showgunners'' contains examples of the following tropes:



* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Marcus used to be in the military, but was dishonourably discharged and signed up for Homicidal All-Stars so that he could hopefully leave a big payday behind for his family.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Marcus is slowly dying from something that is playing havoc on his lungs. The rejuvination chambers have helped him last as long as he has, but he knows he doesn't have much time left.
* KillerGameMaster: Mr. Ford's role as director makes him responsible for all the traps and complications that the contestants encounter. [[spoiler: He takens it even further when he is revealed to have deliberately set Marty up to be killed in a bid to boost the ratings and attempts to increase the output of [[DeadlyGas poison gas]] during a battle in order to kill Scarlett and her allies without giving them a chance to survive. Only [[PragmaticVillainy the Judges]] intervention gets him to back down and return the gas levels to their previous manageable levels.]]
* LawmanGoneBad: [[spoiler: Scarlett (real name Maria) used to be a simple police officer with a family. Then Ulysses Derrick broke into her house and murdered her family so he could be placed on death row and sign up for Homicidal All-Stars. After seeing him become a celebrity, Maria handed in her gun and badge, had surgery to change her appearance and purchased a fake bounty hunting licence so that she could enter the show and kill Derrick and the show's director Mr. Ford.]]
* [[spoiler: MentorOccupationalHazard: Scarlett and Marty are ambushed at the start of the Abandoned Housing Block by Ulysses who takes the chance to curb stomp Marty.]]

Added DiffLines:

* CycleOfHurting: If Freaks get within melee range, they will grab onto a contestant and stunlock them until they are targeted by an ally or kill the contestant.
* EliteMooks: Omega Guards in the final levels. Better aim and health than the average scum, but still fairly easy to take down with good planning.


Added DiffLines:

* FacelessGoons: Scum are the lowest of the low in when it comes to enemy lethality. Poor damage, poor aim and middling health means that they're often among the first enemies in a fight to hit the dirt. Especially in the late game, when most weapons will kill them in a single shot.
* RailroadTracksOfDoom: The Old Quarter and Metro Central both have battles that take place on train tracks. Luring enemies onto the track, stunning them and leaving them to get run over will kill them instantly and nets quite a bit of fame as well.


Added DiffLines:

* ShootTheMedicFirst: The Muertas can heal wounded enemies and dish out some nasty damage with poison grenades. Taking them out early can save a lot of time and resources.
