Hands up
A gesture, not a lock
Short answer
Surrender is a hope. It is not a game rule. Keep a plan if they don't honour it.
Also: surrender · hands
How it works
You can raise hands. They can still shoot. Restraints are a different page.
What to do
If the duo is being nice, Kane's hands are visible while he jokes.
Don't
Don't trust a hands-up as a forcefield.
