Clear My Name: Ethan's goal is to prove that he didn't kill two police officers while hunting Serial Killer X.It's eventually revealed that this is because Ethan has enhanced vocal chords and is capable of emitting damaging sound waves without any modification to his body. When Rosa and Ethan are examining his medical records in the library, Rosa points out that something in the neck area of Ethan's x-ray was redacted indeed, the player can see a blacked out area on the film. Chekhov's Gun: One is set up and the true payoff doesn't come until the finale of the second game.Calling Card: About halfway through the game, it's revealed that Serial Killer X is actively exploiting this trope to avoid detection - he doesn't have his own methods for doing in other serial killers, but rather uses their own methods against them, which has caused every case he intervened in to go cold since, for all the police are able to tell, the killers in question performed one more slightly-out-of-character murder before disappearing.Breakable Weapons: Using firearms as melee weapons will eventually cause them to break.After getting the super taser, it's easy to go through most of the rest of the game that way and completely ignore the more intense melee combat.

The super taser however, does a ton of damage, knocks them to the floor, and makes them drop their weapon, opening them up for a free counterattack that, in almost all cases, will kill them even if it's just a kick to the shins.

Stealing an enemy's weapon while they are stunned gives them a really powerful unarmed grapple move, and smacking them while they are stunned immediately gives them a hard-to-block weapon counterattack. The regular taser does a little bit of damage, but still requires some skill to use.

Boring, but Practical: The super taser.

An Axe to Grind: Not only are axes one of the best melee weapons, but they are required to break through certain doors.

Played straight with the Dark Watchers their leader takes a hellacious amount of punishment even when compared to the other Watchers.

Ethan does have much better stamina, but see Made of Iron as to why. You would think a trained police officer would be a stronger asskicker than a jacked up homeless person, but they're on even level. Also in melee combat they will try to trick to the player like attacking then stopping to make the player block prematurely and then attack them when their guard is down.

Artificial Brilliance: Enemies will attempt to grab weapons from the environment and hide behind cover to ambush Thomas.
