The briefing
The combat report describes warning shots, suppression and the possibility of intimidating an NPC into retreat. It also associates Focus with identifying body parts so an attacker can be incapacitated rather than immediately killed.
Those options support a less lethal approach to individual encounters. They do not establish that the entire campaign can be completed without killing or that every enemy will surrender. Read them as reported combat tools whose availability depends on the actual situation, rather than a verified pacifist achievement route.
