11	!!Tropes found in ''Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars'':
12
13	* AnyoneCanDie: Averted: A Ghost killed is an automatic defeat condition.
14	* BroadStrokes: The game is meant to depict the same conflict from ''VideoGame/{{HAWX}} 2'', ''VideoGame/GhostReconFutureSoldier'', and ''VideoGame/GhostReconWii'', but the finer details of what happens differ from the other games, especially ''Future Soldier'' given it came out two years after all the rest.
15	* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: ''Rookie'', ''Veteran'', and ''Elite'' in ''Shadow Wars''. The higher the difficulty of the mission, the more stars you get afterwards, which you can use to level up your squad members.
16	* LimitBreak: The soldiers (even the {{Mooks}} under your command) can use a special attack if their meter reaches 100%.
17	* MascotRPG: ''Shadow Wars'' is a RolePlayingGame spin-off of this normally non-RPG series that nonetheless incorporates some elements from its parent franchise e.g. using cover and elevation as gameplay mechanics.
18	* MultinationalTeam: The Ghosts are (obviously) American. But they later collaborate with a Kazakh Arystan commando named Aydana Kozlova, who joins the Ghosts.
19	* NextSundayAD: The game takes place in 2021.
20	* NoticeThis: Doors you can open have a big floating key next to them, and areas you should notice are highlighted with a green circle. Pickups also glow.
21	* RogueSoldier: Russian troops in ''Zemya'' are supportive of a potential coup and are enemies of the Ghosts when they get to Russia.
22	* SkillScoresAndPerks: The player gives new skills/skill upgrades to the team via a Tech Tree-based layout every time they gain a new level.
