The Punisher

Each weapon has Quick Kills associated with it, performed by getting close to a foe and pressing the prompt button, using ammunition and adding a sliver to the Slaughter meter.

Environmental Special Kills are performed by maneuvering a human shield into an orange-spotted location and then taking them out when the option appears, earning more on the Slaughter meter.

These can be performed by throwing criminals off of ledges and into various parts of the environment.

The Punisher can enter Slaughter Mode, indicated by a blue bar, during which he has increasing health, takes less damage, has increased speed, and unlimited auto-targeting throwing knives, but cannot take a human shield, wield rifles or dual pistols, duck, crouch walk, throw grenades, switch weapons, or go into fine aim mode.

If you empty a gun, pick up a fresh weapon from a fallen foe instead of carrying the empty one.

Use grenades for crowd control.

You can still take damage while interrogating enemies, so avoid doing so in the midst of a firefight.

Varying the means by which you eliminate foes will rack up more points.

Use the camera to peek around corners to avoid running Frank into an ambush.
