The TAC-Bar only protects the character in a ~180 degree arc in front of where they're aiming, meaning anyone can still get gunned down from behind if they're not expecting incoming fire. A new update to this mechanic is the 'Directional TAC-Bar', which makes it a bit harder to maintain.Essentially, it's a (marginally) more realistic take on a reliable bullet defense mechanism, mostly just to avert Deflector Shields. Bullet Dodges You: There is an entire subset of skills devoted to 'TAC-Bar', which is a near-impenetrable bullet shield made out of tactical sense and 'pure reflex'.Holding down left shift will make the player character aim up slightly with their gun, allowing them to shoot enemies in the head. Boom, Headshot!: Since the game is a 3D arena-style game that would otherwise have no real way of aiming at certain points on a single target, the developers have dedicated a whole button to headshots.Blown Across the Room: One skill for shotguns is called 'Shotgun Blastoff', which blows enemies across the room at point-blank range 'in a shower of blood and shame'.



BFG: The 'Mhati-999' is a gigantic anti-tank rifle that can be held, slung around, and used as a normal weapon.Bare-Handed Blade Block: Even without holding a weapon, a player with enough unarmed skill can outright block incoming sword attacks with their bare hands.Audible Sharpness: Bladed weapons make a 'SHING!' when being pulled out.Arbitrary Gun Power: The damage rating of each gun is clearly listed in the menus.
