'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20121021030359/http://blacklight.perfectworld.com/ Blacklight: Retribution]''''' is a FTP sequel to ''Blacklight: Tango Down''. It's a standard shoot 'em up FPS fighter, though it's got some features to set it apart from the pack:
 
* Everybody has the HRV (Hyper Reality Visor), which let players see enemies and objective through walls. This comes with a downside, though - you can't use any weapons and you have to wait for it to recharge.
Line 6:
* Players receive GP at the end of a match depending on how well they performed, which you can use to get new gear. Of course, [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|paying for it is better.]]

This game provides examples of:
 
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: EMP slows you down, toxic obscure your vision. And then there's explosive which jerk your aim when shot and incendiary ammo. The former three veered into [[Awesome but Impractical]] territory, though.
* [[Body Armor as Hit Points]]
Line 17 ⟶ 15:
* [[Gun Porn]]: Players praised the game's customization feature. Pink automatic death spewing machine anyone?
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: Leaping off of Vertigo:
{{quote| ''[Player name] thought they could fly.''}}
* [[Heal Thyself]]: Heal injector Mk.1 tactical gear.
* [[Helmets Are Hardly Heroic]]: Played straight and averted. Standard characters can't remove their helmets (the closest one can get is by wearing a face-covering goggle getup), and all the Hero characters so far come with helmets. However, the first Hero, Grendel, just got an alternate skin that removes his helmet.
