80% of your foes) and it's around for most of the game. It's not as flashy as Lightning or Destruction, but it allows you to instantly and permanently disable any gun-wielding enemy (i.e. It also comes with a shotgun-like blast for close range and compared to the Bowcaster and the Concussion Rifle, is a lot more efficient with ammo. The Imperial Repeater Rifle combines some of the best elements of the Bryar Pistol and the Stormtrooper Rifle, namely accuracy and More Dakka at the cost of using rarer power cells.Its only downside is its relatively slow fire rate. Accurate, just as powerful as the Stormtrooper Rifle, consumes half as much ammo per shot, and uses the extremely common energy cells. Choosing powers from either side pushes Kyle's alignment to light or dark and, after defeating Maw, Kyle loses all his light or dark powers depending on which side he's on and, by extension, which cutscene is triggered at the end of the boss battle. Black and White Magic: Kyle can use the light side (healing and support skills) or the dark side (only does damage and instant death).Additionally, the mortar gun has been replaced with a rail detonator, essentially a three shot revolving rocket launcher, although this isn't really implemented since the game has no reloading mechanic. BFG: The concussion rifle returns from the original game, now with a secondary attack more suitable for close range combat.The Concussion Rifle uses a lot of power cells per shot, even for its close range secondary attack, making it more useful as a situational artillery piece than as a primary weapon, a role that can be also fulfilled by the Rail Detonator.Force Destruction shoots off a fireball that is less effective than some guns and uses a lot of mana in the process.

Force Deadly Sight is a literal Death Glare that kills too slowly to be of any benefit and is always on until your mana is drained.

Some of the darkside powers can be this.

Its secondary fire allows for faster firing, but its blasts bounce off everything, making it potentially as lethal to the player as it is to the enemy.

The Bowcaster has a Charged Attack as its primary fire, making it difficult to fire rapidly.

Sounds cool? Maybe but you'll soon find out than carbonite supplies are scarce to come by, its range is pitiful, and practically any other weapon deals with bad guys faster and safer.

The carbonite gun in the expansion pack turns enemies into blocks of, well, carbonite, which you can destroy with your lightsaber.

It does come in handy during lightsaber duels since you are able to see the enemy approaching you from the back and side though.

The third person perspective is totally useless when it comes to shooting as you have no way of knowing where it is aimed at.

Artificial Stupidity: Stormtroopers, Imperial officers and mercenaries will attempt to shoot at you through blaster-proof windows and forcefields.

The powerup itself even resembles armour.

The Super Shield powerup, which renders Kyle invulnerable temporarily.

The Force Protection light side power, which you get late in the game, practically makes any encounter with stormtroopers, no matter how numerous or well armed, a joke.

The arm flies off with smoke billowing out of it.

An Arm and a Leg: When making a kill with a lightsabre on humanoid enemies such as Gran, Trandoshans, Tuskens, or Imperial troops, there's a chance that their arm will be cut off in the process.

were it not for the implications of the term 'Dark Force' in the Star Wars universe.

Artifact Title: 'Dark Forces' refers to the Dark Trooper project, which would make its presence in Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, about a guy become a Jedi and fighting a group of Dark Side users along the way rather irrelevant.

Always Over the Shoulder: Dark Forces 2, the first game in the series with a third-person camera, has a setting to automatically change to third-person when switching to the lightsaber.

All There in the Manual: The tie-in short stories (and assorted materials) expanded considerably on the characterization of the villains, for example by making Jerec a Wicked Cultured former academic.

Alignment-Based Endings: The ending is determined by a Karma Meter shown on the Jedi Powers page.

Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The sequential sluice gates in the third level will probably haunt your nightmares the longest time.11th-Hour Superpower: Kyle is automatically given an additional power at the point where the two plotlines diverge late in the game Force Protection if he remains with the light side or Deadly Sight if he falls to the dark side.The main game contains examples of following tropes:
