Components include a grenade launcher attachment for the bionic arm and a passive heath regeneration ability. Entirely new to the series are Components items and attributes that can be equipped to enhance the player character. Players can also climb over small obstacles, or onto slightly higher elevations. Once the game is completed players may opt to activate the game's Retro mode which disables the ability to jump. These include the ability to jump and maneuver known as Death From Above in which the player slams into the ground upon landing from a fall, causing a shockwave to affect nearby enemies.


Some of these were first introduced in the 2009 action-adventure game Bionic Commando. Rearmed 2 also features new gameplay mechanics.
