Your ability to dodge bullets, other projectiles, and punches* in MADNESS: Project Nexus.

There are three types of TAC-Bars in Project Nexus, Novice, Journeyman, and Master TAC-Bars.

Novice Tac-Bars convert gunshots/projectiles from direct hits into grazes, once it runs out from being shot at too much, they'll be converted back to full hits. Same if you're shot from behind or whilst on the floor.

Journeyman Tac-Bars convert gunshots/projectiles from direct hits into full misses. Once it runs out from being shot at too much, they'll be converted back to full hits. Same if you're shot from behind or whilst on the floor.

Master Tac-Bars convert gunshots/projectiles from direct hits into full misses. Once it runs out from being shot at too much, you'll still convert hits into grazes. Even whilst on the floor or being shot from behind.

To recover your Tac-Bar mid-fight, simply reach a med-kit and asses your wounds. Get a crit whilst attacking an enemy with melee or unarmed. Or perform a takedown/execution whilst they're stunned.

Your type, size, and reliability of your Tac-Bar all depend on your "Battle prowess and natural ability to avoid enemy fire." Alongside your general maneuverability and keen instinct, and obviously your ability (And will) to dodge.

*Only Tac-bars in Project Nexus Classic, and the Beta of MADNESS: Project Nexus allowed you to mitigate Melee or Unarmed attacks.
Deimos: Christoff.. you.. uh.. ever wonder why most of these guys die a lot faster than what we do?

Christoff: Simple, they lack the tactics, and in extension, the TAC-Bars that we have. Alongside they strength, endurance, and dexterity aswell. But none of that matters if a simple bullet can still kill you**.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
