2. Mini-Introduction / Notes
============================

Welcome to my weapon guide for one of the greatest games ever made, Deus Ex. 
In this guide, I will provide the weapon name, and all available statistics 
about the gun that the game has to offer. I hope you enjoy the guide and use 
it well. Some notes:

- Every stat I list about the weapons is pulled straight from the game. I did
not invent my own statistics based on observation.

- I've heard that the statistics listed in-game are different from
the ones that are actually used in the game, if that makes any sense. Once
again, e-mail me with any extra info on this.

- This guide was made using version 1.112fm, the latest official patch.

===============
3. Weapon Guide 
===============

This part of the guide details every weapon in the game. I've broken the 
entire list into three general categories: Projectile Weapons, Melee Weapons, 
and Thrown Weapons. I also have a special section at the end chronicling the 
various ammunition types in Deus Ex. If you have any complaints or suggestions
about the layout feel free to email me.

************Yaso Kuuhl writes:************************************************
"On a side note, the baton is virtually useless in melee combat, unless you 
take the victim by surprise. To take one down, sneak up to him (from behind) 
and hit him on the head. If done correctly he should fall unconcious in a 
silent manner. This works on every enemy except commandos and MIBs IIRC 
(Combat strength aug and mastered melee skill might help, but I am not sure 
on this)."
******************************************************************************

- This is particularly useful when you're going for a no-kill game. It also
has an effect on a few gameplay elements, such as when you're in the Brooklyn
Bridge Station. When El Rey gives you the mission to kill the drug dealer,
Rock, you can kill him or knock him out. If you knock him out, El Rey sounds
angered at first, and appears as if he's not going to give JC the LAM, but
eventually he gives in and says he'll just have one of his own men finish
the job. It's not a big change, but it's funny.

- RIOT PROD
Description: The riot prod has been extensively used by security forces who
wish to keep what remains of the crumbling peace and have found the prod to be
a valuable tool. Its short range tetanizing effect is most effective when
applied to the torso or when the subject is taken by surprise.

- DRAGON'S TOOTH SWORD
Description: The true weapon of a modern warrior, the Dragon's Tooth is not a
sword in the traditional sense, but a nanotechnologically constructed blade
that is dynamically 'forged' on command into a non-eutactic solid. Nanoscale
whetting devices insure that the blade is both unbreakable and lethally sharp.

3c. Thrown Weapons
******************

Weapons that are thrown, such as grenades. Note: All of these weapons can be
placed against a surface and armed with a proximity trigger.

- LIGHTWEIGHT ATTACK MUNITIONS (LAM)
Description: A multi-functional explosive with electronic priming system that
can either be thrown or attached to any surface with its polyhesive backing
and used as a proximity mine.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE SC093-BLUE>
Disarming a proximity device should only be attempted with the proper

- ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE (EMP) GRENADE
Description: The EMP grenade creates a localized pulse that will temporarily
disable all electronics within its area of effect, including cameras and
security grids.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE JR134-VIOLET>
While nanotech augmentations are largely unaffected by EMP, experiments have
shown that it WILL cause the spontaneous dissipation of stored bioelectric
energy. -- Jamie Reyes <END NOTE>

- GAS GRENADE
Description: Upon detonation, the gas grenade releases a large amount of CS
(a military-grade 'tear gas' agent) over its area of effect. CS will cause
irritation to all exposed mucous membranes leading to temporary blindness and
uncontrolled coughing. Like a LAM, gas grenades can be attached to any
surface.

- SCRAMBLE GRENADE
Description: The detonation of a GUARDIAN scramble grenade broadcasts a
short-range, polymorphic broadband assault on the command frequencies used by
almost all bots manufactured since 2028. The ensuing electronic storm causes
bots within its radius of effect to indiscriminately attack other bots until
command control can be re-established. Like a LAM, scramble grenades can be
attached to any surface.

- THROWING KNIVES
Description: A favorite weapon of assassins in the Far East for centuries, 
throwing knives can be deadly when wielded by a master but are more generally 
used when it becomes desirable to send a message. The message is usually 'Your
death is coming on swift feet.'

**************
3d. Ammunition
**************

The various types of ammo used throughout the game.

- 10mm AMMO
Description: With their combination of high stopping power and low recoil,
pistols chambered for the 10mm round have become the sidearms of choice for
paramilitary forces around the world.

- 7.62x51mm AMMO
Description: The 7.62x51mm (NATO) round was chiefly used by anti-terrorist 
units equipped with assault rifles for close-quarters combat until its 
widespread adoption among national security forces requiring enhanced combat 
responsiveness made it ubiquitous.

- 20mm HE AMMO
Description: The 20mm high-explosive round complements the standard 7.62x51mm 
assault rifle by adding the capability to clear small rooms, foxholes, and 
blind corners using an underhand launcher.

- 12 GAUGE BUCKSHOT SHELLS
Description: Standard 12 gauge shotgun shell; very effective for 
close-quarters combat against soft targets, but useless against body armor.

- 12 GAUGE SABOT SHELLS
Description: A 12 gauge shotgun shell surrounding a solid core of tungsten
that can punch through all but the thickest hardened steel armor at close
range; however, its ballistic profile will result in minimal damage to soft
targets.

- 30.06 AMMO
Description: Its high velocity and accuracy have made sniper rifles using the
30.06 round the preferred tool of individuals requiring 'one shot, one kill'
for over fifty years.

- DARTS
Description: The mini-crossbow dart is a favored weapon for many 'wet'
operations; however, silent kills require a high degree of skill.

- TRANQUILIZER DARTS
Description: A mini-crossbow dart tipped with a succinylcholine-variant that
causes complete skeletal muscle relaxation, effectively incapacitating a
target in a non-lethal manner.

- FLARE DARTS
Description: Mini-crossbow flare darts use a slow-burning incendiary device,
ignited on impact, to provide illumination of a targeted area.

- PROD CHARGER
Description: A portable charging unit for the riot prod.

- NAPALM CANISTER
Description: A pressurized canister of jellied gasoline for use with
flamethrowers.

- ROCKETS
Description: A gyroscopically stabilized rocket with limited onboard guidance
systems for in-flight course corrections. Engineered for use with the GEP gun.

- WP ROCKETS
Description: The white-phosphorous rocket, or 'wooly peter', was designed to
expand the mission profile of the GEP gun. While it does minimal damage upon
detonation, the explosion will spread a cloud of particularized white
phosphorus that ignites immediately upon contact with the air.

- PLASMA CLIP
Description: A clip of extruded, magnetically-doped plastic slugs that can be
heated and delivered with devastating effect using the plasma gun.

- PEPPER CARTRIDGE
Description: 'ANTIGONE pepper spray will incapacitate your attacker in UNDER 
TWO SECONDS. ANTIGONE -- better BLIND than DEAD. NOTE: Keep away from children
under the age of five. Contents under pressure.

4. Item Guide
=============

This section of the guide covers the wide range of items available to use in
Deus Ex. This section is split into four specific categories: Consumables
(items JC can use to restore health or other things), Tools, Weapon
Modifications, and a Miscellaneous section (Items that didn't really fit in
any other category).

***************
4a. Consumables
***************

Food, medkits, and the like.

- MEDKIT
Description: A first-aid kit.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE JR095-VIOLET>
The nanomachines of an augmented agent will automatically metabolize the
contents of a medkit to efficiently heal damaged areas. An agent with medical
training could greatly expedite this process. -- Jamie Reyes <END NOTE>

Effect: Use to heal critical body parts, or use on character screen to direct
healing at a certain body part. Restores 40 health points at untrained level.

- BIOELECTRIC CELL
Description: A bioelectric cell provides efficient storage of energy in a form
that can be utilized by a number of different devices.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE JR289-VIOLET>
Augmented agents have been equipped with an interface that allows them to
transparently absorb energy from bioelectric cells. -- Jamie Reyes <END NOTE>

Effect: Recharges 25 Energy Units.

- CANDY BAR
Description: 'CHOC-O-LENT DREAM, IT'S CHOCOLATE! IT'S PEOPLE! IT'S BOTH!(tm)
85% Recycled Material

Effect: Restores 2 health.

- SODA
Description: The can is blank except for the phrase 'PRODUCT PLACEMENT HERE.'
It is unclear whether this is a name or an invitation.

Effect: Restores 2 health.

- SOY FOOD
Description: Fine print: 'Seasoned with nanoscale mechanochemical generators,
this TSP (textured soy protein) not only tastes good but also self-heats when
its package is opened.

Effect: Restores 5 health.

- CIGARETTES
Description: 'COUGHING NAILS -- when you've just got to have a cigarette.'

Effect: Deducts 10 health from the torso area.

- FORTY
Description: 'COLD SWEAT forty ounce malt liquor. Never let 'em see your COLD
SWEAT.'

Effect: Restores 2 health, but fogs your vision. Vision worsens with repeated
usage.

- LIQUOR
Description: The label is torn off, but it looks like some of the good stuff.

Effect: Restores 2 health, but fogs your vision. Vision worsens with repeated
usage.

- WINE
Description: A nice bottle of wine.

Effect: Restores 2 health, but fogs your vision. Vision worsens with repeated
usage.

- ZYME VIAL
Description: A vial of zyme, brewed up in some basement lab.

Effect: No health restored or deducted, but it greatly fogs your vision as
well as makes your crosshairs woozy and unsteady.

********************
4b. Equippable Items
********************

Any item that can be "equipped", e.g. armor. Most of these items are
"one-shots" meaning that they can only be used once.

- BALLISTIC ARMOR
Description: Ballistic armor is manufactured from electrically sensitive
polymer sheets that intrinsically react to the violent impact of a bullet or
an explosion by 'stiffening' in response and absorbing the majority of the
damage. These polymer sheets must be charged before use; after the charge has
dissipated they lose their reflexive properties and should be discarded.

Effect: Reduces damage by a certain amount depending on your Environmental
Training skill. At the untrained level, it reduces damage by roughly 50%. A
one-shot item.

- THERMOPTIC CAMO
Description: Integrating woven fiber-optics and an advanced computing system,
thermoptic camo can render an agent invisible to both humans and bots by
dynamically refracting light and radar waves; however, the high power drain
makes it impractical for more than short-term use, after which the circuitry
is fused and it becomes useless.

Effect: It makes you invisible to all enemies unless you fire a weapon. A
one-shot item.

- HAZMAT SUIT
Description: A standard hazardous materials suit that protects against a full
range of environmental hazards including radiation, fire, biochemical toxins,
electricity, and EMP. Hazmat suits contain an integrated bacterial oxygen
scrubber that degrades over time and thus should not be reused.

Effect: Reduces, but does not completely absorb, radiation, fire, chemical,
electric, and EMP damage. A one-shot item.

- REBREATHER
Description: A disposable chemical scrubber that can extract oxygen from water
during brief submerged operations.

Effect: Greatly increases the length of time you can stay underwater before
your oxygen level runs out. A one-shot item.

- TECH GOGGLES
Description: Tech goggles are used by many special ops forces throughout the
world under a number of different brand names, but they all provide some form
of portable light amplification in a disposable package. 

Effect: Gives the player night-vision for a limited time. A one-shot item.

- BINOCULARS
Description: A pair of military binoculars.

Effect: Zooms in a fair amount, allowing player to scout out distant enemies.
Has no adjustable zoom, but is infinitely reusable.

*********
4c. Tools
*********

Items that you can use to perform certain tasks, such as picking locks or
bypassing security. You'll be using a LOT of these.

- LOCKPICK
Description: A disposable lockpick. The tension wrench is steel, but
appropriate needles are formed from fast congealing polymers.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE AJ006-BLACK>
Here's what they don't tell you: despite the product literature, you can use
a standard lockpick to bypass all but the most high-class nanolocks. -- Alex
Jacobson <END NOTE>

Effect: Each lockpick can only be used once, so you will often times need
several of them to unlock one door. Their effectiveness increases the higher
the "Lockpicking" skill is.

- MULTITOOL
Description: A disposable electronics tool. By using electromagnetic resonance
detection and frequency modulation to dynamically alter the flow of current
through a circuit, skilled agents can use the multitool to manipulate code
locks, cameras, autogun turrets, alarms, or other security systems.

Effect: Like lockpicks, each multitool can only be used once so you'll need
several of them to take down the tougher keypads and cameras. Their
effectiveness increases the higher the "Electronics" skill is.

************************
4d. Weapon Modifications
************************

There are 8 different weapon modifications, each improving a different stat or
adding some kind of feature to the weapon.

- RANGE
Description: By lubricating the firing path with synthetic synovial fluid, the
drag on fired projectiles is greatly reduced with a consequent increase in
range.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOT SC111-BLUE>
Coating the primary valve system of a flamethrower or plasma gun in synovial
lubricant and then over-pressuring the delivery system will also result
in an increase in range. Little trick I learned during field testing. 
-- Sam Carter <END NOTE>

- RELOAD
Description: A speed loader greatly decreases the time required to reload a
weapon.

- RECOIL
Description: A stock cushioned with polycellular shock absorbing material will
significantly reduce perceived recoil.

- ACCURACY
Description: When clamped to the frame of most projectile weapons, a harmonic
balancer will dampen the vertical motion produced by firing a projectile,
resulting in increased accuracy.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE SC108-BLUE>
Almost any weapon that has a significant amount of vibration can be modified
with a balancer; I've even seen it work with the mini-crossbow and a
prototype plasma gun. -- Sam Carter <END NOTE>

- CLIP
Description: An extended magazine that increases clip capacity beyond the
factory default.

- LASER
Description: A laser targeting dot eliminates any inaccuracy resulting from
the inability to visually gauge a projectile's point of impact.

- SCOPE
Description: A teloscopic scope attachment provides zoom capability and
increases accuracy against distant targets.

- SILENCER
Description: A silencer will muffle the muzzle crack caused by rapidly
expanding gases left in the wake of a bullet leaving the gun barrel.

Obviously, a silencer is only effective with firearms. -- Sam Carter <END NOTE>

4e. Miscellaneous
*****************

Oddball items that don't really fit in any other category.

- AMBROSIA VIAL
Description: The only known vaccine against the 'Gray Death.' Unfortunately,
it is quickly metabolized by the body making its effects temporary at best.

Effect: Stanton Dowd asks you to retrieve some Ambrosia when you head off
to scuttle the Superfreighter. You will find this vial inside the ship's Chem
Lab. You can use it on yourself, however, but you'll only be rewarded with the
message, "Strange...nothing happens..."

- FLARE
Description: A flare. (Whoa, what elaboration!)

Effect: Lights up a darkened area, and can be used as a distraction.

- FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Description: A chemical fire extinguisher.

Effect: Can be used to momentarily stun enemies. You can also shoot the ones
attached to walls for the same purpose.

"Just read your guide on gamefaqs.  Nice work, but there's a little omission - 
you neglected to mention that the fire extinguisher does just that - 
extinguishes you when you're on fire."

7. Special Thanks
=================
First off, a special nod to Warren Spector and all the great people at Ion
Storm who made this incredible game.

Second, thanks to that group of Russian soldiers inside the Lucky Money for 
providing one of my favorite video game lines ever: "I SPILL my DRINK!"

Third, thanks to Ezekial Rage for his e-mail regarding the Fire Extinguisher,
and Echelon 452 and Yaso Kuhhl of the DX forums for their corrections 
regarding the baton and Dragon Tooth Sword.

And finally, as always, thanks to my keyboard. I love you, keyboard.
