======================Deus Ex: Weapon Modification Guide======================= This guide was created using the PC version of Deus Ex (Game of the Year Edition) bought on steam. Contained in this guide you will find a complete list of all the weapon modification in Deus Ex. The in-game descriptions of each weapon modification; along with some recommendations on what weapons you should use with them. And a chart that will show you what mod you can use on each weapon. 1.

Credits =============================In-Game Descriptions============================== =====Accuracy===== When clamped to the frame of most projectile weapons, a harmonic balancer will dampen the vertical motion producer by firing a projectile, resulting in increased accuracy. 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 =====Clip===== An extended magazine that increases clip capacity beyond the factory default. =====Range===== By lubricating the firing path with synthetic synovial fluid, the drag on fired projectiles is greatly reduced with a consequent increase in range. Coating the primary valve system of a flamethrower or plasma gun in a synovial lubricant and then over-pressuring the delivery system will also result in am increase in range. Little trick I learned during field testing. -- Sam Carter =====Recoil===== A stock cushioned with polycellular shock absorbing material will significantly reduce perceived recoil. =====Reload===== A speed loader greatly decreases the time required to reload a weapon. =====Laser===== A laser targeting dot eliminates any inaccuracy resulting from the inability to visually gauge a projectile's point of impact. =====Scope===== A telescopic scope attachment provides zoom capability and increases accuracy against distant targets. =====Silencer===== 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 ==========================Modification Recommendation========================== This section is for recommending what mod you put in which weapon. The number before each mod is how many are found in the game. Also all mods can be installed up to five times except for the laser, scope, and silencer mod. Take every recommendation with a grain of salt though; as these recommendation are not based on if you carry, use, like, or are trained in any particular weapon. They are instead based on the weakness of a weapon i.e. only four shots on the sawed-off shotgun or the twenty foot range on the flamethrower. # 19 Accuracy: works with all the weapons but the flamethrower, GEP and two shotguns. This mod is the trickiest to figure out what to apply it to because that depends on what your skill level is. With a maxed level in any of the skills you need anywhere from 0-4 accuracy mods to get to 100% accuracy. So how you apply them depends heavily on your play style. With that in mind I've decided to show how many you need at max skill level instead of recommending what to go with. Pistol=3, Stealth Pistol=4, X-Bow=4, Assault Rifle=3, Sniper Rifle=0, Plasma Rifle=2. # 12 Clips: can be used with everything but the flamethrower, GEP and mini crossbow. The sawed-off shotgun and the pistol are the obvious choices, but I like to also add the assault rifle. The reason why is it only holds six shots not thirty, it fires five rounds every pull of the trigger. # 11 Range: is usable by anything but the two shotguns. The big two with range are the flamethrower and mini crossbow. But all the pistols can benefit from it as well. # 13 Recoil: works with all rifles, plasma rifles and the pistol. Tho recoil is a little bit different. Reason being all recoil can be eliminated with advanced training or better, except with the assault shotgun. However master rifle training does eliminate all recoil for the shotgun. So with three recoil mods in your assault shotgun and advanced rifle training you will have zero recoil. # 10 Reload: is usable by all weapons. I recommend using your two favorite weapons for this mod. But notable weapons are the mini crossbow and sawed-off for their low ammo count. Also with the flamethrower and master training you can get it from a 5.5 reload time to about a 2 second reload time. # 07 Lasers: are compatible with all three pistols and the plasma, assault, and sniper rifle. Seven laser mods in the game and only six compatible weapons. I'm hoping you can figure this one out for your self. # 07 Scopes: can fit on any of the three pistols, plasma or GEP and is automatically attached to the sniper rifle. Like the laser there're more scopes in the game than there are weapons to use it with. # 05 Silencers: can only be put on the assault and sniper rifles, though the stealth pistol is well stealthed. ===========================Weapon Modification Chart=========================== _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | | | | HEAVY |Accuracy| Clip | Range | Recoil | Reload | Laser | Scope |Silencer _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Flame | | | | | | | | Thrower| | | X | | X | | | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Plasma | | | | | | | | Rifle | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ | | | | | | | | GEP | | | X | | X | | X | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ | | | | | | | | PISTOL |Accuracy| Clip | Range | Recoil | Reload | Laser | Scope |Silencer _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ | | | | | | | | Pistol | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Stealth| | | | | | | | Pistol | X | X | X | | X | X | X | (X) _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ | | | | | | | | X-Bow | X | | X | | X | X | X | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ | | | | | | | | RIFLE |Accuracy| Clip | Range | Recoil | Reload | Laser | Scope |Silencer _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Assault| | | | | | | | Rifle | X | X | X | X | X | X | | X _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Sniper | | | | | | | | Rifle | X | X | X | X | X | X | (X) | X _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Assault| | | | | | | | Shotgun| | X | | X | X | | | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ Sawed | | | | | | | | Shotgun| | X | | X | X | | | _______|________|________|________|________|________|________|________|________ ===========================Weapon Modification List============================ Modifications with blank spaces next to them indicate they are located in the same place as the previous one.
