Credits ******************************************************************************************************************** 1. What are Augmentations? ******************************************************************************************************************** No we aren't talking about cosmetic surgery here. We are talking about in the game. In Deus Ex, you will be given and find augmentation canisters. There are two types of canisters: Upgrade Canisters and Augmentation Canisters. The augmentation canisters will give you a new ability. The upgrade canister will improve that ability that you have. You need a medical bot to install the augmentation canister, but you can upgrade them at anytime with an upgrade canister. All augs that you install use up energy. There is an energy indicator next to your health indicator. Some augs use up a small amount of energy, while others will drain your energy rapidly. These are things you need to consider when getting augmentations. You can play the whole game without installing one augmentation canister, but you will have a harder time with the game. ******************************************************************************************************************** 2. Types of Augmentations ******************************************************************************************************************** There is one thing you should know about how I describe the augs. Type refers to what it generally does with the description going into more detail. Default Augmentations Even if you don't install a new augmentation canister, you still have three that you get when you start the game. You can't upgrade these augs, so they are going to do the same thing in training as they do at the end of the game. ________ ---Infolink--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is an augmentation that allows you to receive realtime neural comunications. You really don't use that, but that is how you receive a lot of your goals. It also allows people who are using the infolink to monitor you. ___ ---IFF--- ŻŻŻ You also have an IFF augmentation. It's very basic, but very useful. This allows you to tell from friend and foe. When you put the crosshairs over an object/character/etc. you will get one of these four colors. Nothing-You are looking at something that you can't interact with White-You are looking at an item that can be destroyed Green-Friend Red-Foe _____ ---Light--- ŻŻŻŻŻ This aug emits a light that helps you see in the dark. Very useful since this whole game takes place in dark areas. However this aug uses 10 units of energy per minute and can be spotted by enemies. Installed Augmentations There are 6 types of installed augs: Cranial, Eyes, Arms, Torso, Subdermal, and Legs. You can install one type of augmentation to each of these areas except for Torso (you can have 3) and Subermal (you can have 2). Each time you get an augmentation canister, you get two choices for an aug. You can only pick one, and you will never be able to pick the other one for the rest of the game. ********************************Cranial***************************************************************************** _________________________ ---Aggressive Defense System--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Defensive 10 units of energy per minute This aug will basically detonate any heavy-duty explosive weapons before they reach you. As a result, you will take less damage from these weapons while the aug is activated. The higher you upgrade this aug, the further away these weapons will detonate. *Addition Information from WGHuang* beside the usual rockets and grenades (airborne or static), the aggressive defense system also works (even though not stated in the game) on the flamethrower, darts, and the plasma rifle. I accidentally realized this when i got into heavy fire fights with the mj12 commandos and the ADS was going nuts on soldiers holding the plasma gun, dart guns, and the flamethrower _________ ---Spy Drone--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Stealth/Offensive 150 units of energy per minute This is a pretty nice aug for stealth players. You can create a little drone that can spy on areas for you. This keeps you out of danger and will help you know where your enemies are. The only draw to it is its high-energy use. Cranial Augmentation Canister Locations: 1) Found in the MJ12 labs. Its in a containment chamber in the room next to the greasle cages. 2) Found in the Versalife magnetic chambers in the level 1 labs. 3) This found nearby Beth DuClare's computer terminal. Its in a containment field. *********************************Eyes******************************************************************************* __________________ ---Vision Enhancement--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Modifier 40 units of energy per minute This aug will give you some nice features. You will get night vision for tech one. Upgrade it, and you get infravision. Upgrade it again and you will get close range sonar. Upgrade it once again, and you will get long range sonar. There are two things about sonar. You will only get a small window for sonar,but you can see through walls with sonar. The vision enhancement uses 4 times more energy than the light, so you won't be replacing it. _________ ---Targeting--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Modifier 40 units of energy per minute This aug will give you better accuracy and give you info about your target. This is really good because you will be told the health of your enemy. Now you can tell who you should shoot or who to use a weaker weapon to save ammo. Your accuracy will get better with each level and you will get more info with each level. Eye Augmentation Canister Locations: 1) Found in the Versalife magnetic chambers in the level 1 labs. 2) Found in Everett's lab. *********************************Arms******************************************************************************* __________________ ---Microfibral Muscle--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Strength Modifier 20 units of energy per minute This basically allows you to carry heavier objects. The higher you upgrade, the stronger you get. Stealth players may need it sometimes to move heavy objects. One-man army players may use it to chuck crates on enemies below. Besides that, not much more use for it. _______________ ---Combat Strength--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Melee Modifier 20 units of energy per minute This aug makes your melee attacks more powerful. Good for one-man army to kill people and also good for silent kills for stealth. The higher the level, the stronger the attacks get. Arm Augmentation Canister Location: 1) Found in the statue of liberty where you catch the terrorist. ********************************Torso******************************************************************************* NOTE: You have three aug slots here, however there are three different augmentation canisters. Once you use one aug in a canister, you will not be able to use the other aug even if you find another canister with the two in there. **Choice One ____________ ---Regeneration--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Healing 120 units of energy per minute This aug will automatically regenerate health for you. Really useful if you have a lot of bio cells, but no med kits. The higher the level, the faster health will regenerate. _____________ ---Energy Shield--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Defensive 40 units of energy per minute This aug reduces damage from fire, electricity, and plama attacks. The higher the level, the more protection you have from these attacks. Torso (choice one) Augmentation Canister Location: 1) Right next to Jaime Reyes after you escape the MJ12 labs. **Choice Two ________ ---Aqualung--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Oxygen Level Modifier 10 units of energy per minute This aug will let you stay underwater for a longer time. The higher the level, the longer you can stay underwater. Good for stealth players because you can wait a while before you have to leave the water. It says at tech four that you can stay underwater indefinitely, but I can't confirm this. E-mail me if you can confirm this. ________________________ ---Environmental Resistance--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Defensive 20 units of energy per minute This aug will raise your toxic resistance. Greasels, soldiers with poison darts, and chemical barrels are a few examples of things that are toxic. The higher the level the higher the toxic resistance. Torso (choice two) Augmentation Canister Locations: 1) In a safe in the control room at Castle Clinton. 2) Found in the Versalife UC chamber **Choice Three _________________ ---Power Reticulator--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Augmentation Power Usage Modifier 10 units of energy per minute This aug will decrease the energy drain of other augs. It is nice if you use more than one aug at a time, or if you use augs that use a lot of energy. Higher levels reduce aug power drain even further. _______________ ---Synthetic Heart--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Augmentation Level Modifier 100 units of energy per minute This aug will make all augs at level 3 or less perform a level higher. If you already have augs at level 4, then they will have no improvement. You cannot upgrade this aug. Torso (choice three) Augmentation Canister Location: 1) Found in the Versalife UC Chamber *******************************Subdermal**************************************************************************** You have two choices here. Same rules as torso augs. **Choice one Note: If you plan on using any aug in this choice, you may want to get a power reticulator and a crapload of bio cells. This choice really doesn't help out the one-man army unless you want to have some stealth. _____ ---Cloak--- ŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Stealth Modifier (Biological Enemies) 300 units of energy per minute This aug makes you invisible to biological threats such as karkians, soldiers, and greasles. However, machines will still detect you and they can still attack you. The higher the level, the less energy used. __________________ ---Radar Transparancy--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Stealth Modifier (Technological Enemies) 300 units of energy per minute This aug will make you invisible to machines. Cameras and turrets will no longer bother you along with security bots. However, any biological threats can plainly see you and attack you. The higher the level, the less energy used. Subdermal (choice one) Augmentation Canister Locations: 1) Found in the Versalife magnetic chambers in the level 1 labs. 2) In the lower decks of the ship (Brooklyn). In the room with the helicopter, go down the red hallway, turn left and go up the ladder. Now go in the opening that is on the same side as the ladder. Go through the vents until you reach the end. Go to the room that is on the left and the canister will be on the table. 3) In Vandenberg. It's on a table in the hazard room. The hazard room is the one that is flooded. **Choice two ____________________ ---Ballistic Protection--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Defensive 60 units of energy per minute This aug will protect you against projectile and blade weapons resulting in less damage from those types of weapons. However, you will not be protected from grenades and explosions or any energy attacks. You will take less damage for each level up. __________ ---EMP Shield--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Defensive 10 units of energy per minute This aug will protect you against EMP attacks. It is good for anyone because you can fall victim to your own EMP attacks. The higher the level, the less energy drain from EMP attacks. Subdermal (choice two) Augmentation Canister Locations: 1) Found in Lebedev's jet. 2) Found in Everett's lab. *********************************Legs******************************************************************************* _________________ ---Speed Enhancement--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Speed Modifier/Defensive 40 units of energy per minute This aug does three things. One, it makes you faster. Two, you can jump higher. Three you will take less damage from falls. The higher the level, the better those three things will get. __________ ---Run Silent--- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Type: Stealth Modifier 40 units of energy per minute This aug will reduce the noise you make moving. Great for stealth players for obvious reasons. The higher the level the less noise made. Legs Augmentation Canister Locations 1) Found in Hell's Kitchen in the terrorist compound. It's in a drawer in a room with a computer in there. This room is in an area surrounded by lasers. 2) Found in the Versalife UC Chamber ******************************************************************************************************************** 3.
