Free Biocanister: ----------------- Find the mutant and get a sample before bartering with the Omar in Seattle to get a 50% discount and a free Black Market Biocanister. It is in the basement of Club Vox in Upper Seattle. Free Spider Bots: ----------------- When you find a Spider Bot Grenade, shoot it with a ballistic weapon (pistol, SMG, etc.) and you will get free Spider Bots. Assassin Pistol: ---------------- This is a pistol with a zoom function instead of a flashlight, and also seems to be more powerful. It is a good substitute for a sniper rifle. It is inside the Nine Worlds Tavern in Trier Germany. Once inside, there is a part where you will see stairs that lead up to a closed door and down into a bar. Go up, pick the lock, and enter. You will meet the Omar here if you can find their contact. In one of the corners under some junk (you must throw it around as it hides the stash), you will find the weapon along with some other assorted items. Party mission: -------------- Go to the underground UNATCO ruins on Liberty Island. Take the U.N. flag from near the beginning of the ruins and find your way to to James Manderley's office from the first Deus Ex. Hold the flag while flushing the toilet inside the bathroom to play the programmer's party mission. Save health and energy: ----------------------- Using the Active Black Market Biomod that allows you to control an EMP Armed Spybot next to an Engineering Bot that refills your Bioelectricity. This allows you to have an infinite range. You can destroy all electrical equipment and bots in the vicinity without having to use energy cells or risk health. Assassinate Mag Rail Scientist and get weapon: ---------------------------------------------- You may want to have quite a bit of ammunition for this, as the scientist is remarkably difficult to kill. The fastest melee way is to club him down, then finish with knife. When traveling down corridor to lab entrance before or after talking to the gun tech, get one of the boxes in the hall. Do not to threaten him and he will unlock the control lock. However, before you press the button (but after he enters the room), place the box in the way of the door so that it cannot close. Press the "Containment Release" button, but do not take the rifle yet. First, take care of the security bot, either by way of neural interfacing the panel on the wall or EMP grenade, then the guard. Carefully crouch and mount the box. Walk up the stairs, making sure not to move the box out of the door's path, as you will not be able to get out. Once at the control room, attack the scientist, and be praised by the order. Next, clear the same treacherous doorway to claim your prize from the WTO. By doing this, you will be reprimanded by Chen, but you will still be able to claim your rewards from both factions: A Legal Biomod can from Billie in the order Mosque in Cairo, and an additional helpful item from Sparks upon reaching her in the Tarsus school above in Arcology. Getting items: -------------- When in any area, check dumpsters and look behind small boxes or items for multitools, food, guns, ammo, etc. Red Greasel Hunter: ------------------- This is a pistol with a red flashlight. In Lower Seattle, you can find this under the sewer grate in front of the Greasel Pit Bar. It is lying near or under an Omar corpse. Watch out; you will have to kill two Karkians to get it. If you do not like close encounters, once they start chasing you, climb out and drop a concussion grenade on them. Toxic gas: ---------- Shoot cylinders that contain toxic gas to fill a the room and kill anyone within the blast radius. Also, if you have the strength modification you can pick up these cylinders and throw them into a desired room. This is a good way to kill guards without being seen. Killing bots and slaying things silently: ----------------------------------------- This style of game play requires more sneaky mods. Have your Silent Movement Biomods on any level. In Lower Seattle, open the grate when you first get out of the Inclinator. Go down into it and you will have to battle two Karkians. After you kill them, find the dead Omar. Underneath or near him you will find a pistol with a red flashlight (Red Greasel Hunter) and a sword. This is the most powerful close combat weapon in the game, other than the one you find in JC Denton's sanctuary. For your next Biomods, upgrade your strength and use Black Market Biomods for EMP Attack. If you need to kill a bot, either sneak up behind it or just run up to it and avoid getting shot. Hack it a few times and it is done. When killing military bots, run up to it and circle around it while you are hacking at it and start moving backwards so it does not explode on you. This combination is also good for silent, quick, and easy infiltration.
