If you need to tell me something about the guide, e-mail me at the adress in Section D. Anyway, This guide is here to guide you in the field of biomodification, one of the largest parts of character customization in DX:IW. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Section A, Part 2: Version History ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Version 1.00 - 12/26/03 Initial release. Version 1.25 - 12/30/03 Updated Location Guide, Character Builds, Added Version History, Fixed some errors and spelling. Final - 6/9/04 Finished and revised biomod location guide, redid some organization, spelling and error fixes. Should be totally complete. Enjoy! ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Section A, Part 3: Overview ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Biomods are extremely important. While you could go without using them, they end up being your biggest savior in the most important situations. Remember that you use normal mod canisters for normal biomods, and you use black market biomods for black market biomods. You cannot mix the two. Also, you may only have on biomod in one slot at a time, but you can change it whenever you want, but any canisters used on the previous mod will be lost forever. Since biomods are so important, you should always try to get them. There are many biomods in the game, most of which are either guarded by an objective or a lock. If you can spare the multitools, always try to get the biomods that are locked up. Yes, this is all common sense, but you need to know this. The faster you max out your biomods, the better off you will be. Having extra biomods also helps for when you absolutely must switch a mod (although it hasn't happened to me yet). Intially, you won't find many biomods, but slowly you do start finding them. One important thing to remember is to think out what you want to do with yourself. You need to know where to spend you mod canisters as soon as you get them, because they will help you immensely if they are maxed out, and if you can't get them maxed quickly, you'll be at a disadvantage. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that you should know what you need to get and get it so you don't have to waste mod canisters switching around your abilities. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Section B, Part 1: Mod Descriptions ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This section details each mod that you can get, and I have added my own batch of comments for consideration and suggestions. ---------------------- *FREE BIOMODIFICATION* ---------------------- -"Light" Biomod This Biomod is completely on it's own. It's essentially a flashlight. It cannot be upgraded or changed. You are given this as part of your intial biomod suite for free. It's useful in a few areas of the game, doesn'take much bio-energy, and best of all, it's free. Not much more to say. ---------------------- *EYE BIOMODIFICATIONS* ---------------------- - "Vision Enhancement" Biomod This biomod improves your vision. Level 1 gives you a nightvision view when activated, 2 gives you nightvision and the ability to see organics through walls, and 3 gives you full nightvision and ability to see all important objects (NPCs, Objects, Machines, Animals, etc) through walls. This is a great upgrade all around, especially if you are not going to use the regeneration biomod. The more you see, the more you know. - "Regeneration" Biomod This biomod regenerates your health when activated. Each level consecutively increases regen speed and lowers energy drain. This a good mod for characters who rely on fights to get through anything. An odd suggestion: Try using it solely at level one. Having a smidgen of health taken off and then run into battle with it on, and your health will stay pretty constant. Try it! - "Spy Drone" (BLACK MARKET) Biomod This biomod launches a remote spy camera/EMP bomb. Level 1 launches a drone with a low damage, low range, EMP attack and no audio. Level 2 ups the damage and range and adds audio, and Level 3 lets the EMP stun organics and increases damage/range, with a reduced energy cost. This is obviousley useful for the stealthy types, and can be used well with other builds, too. ------------------- *CRANIAL BIOMODIFICATIONS* --------------------- - "Cloak" Biomod This mod Cloaks you when activated. This makes you nearly completely invisible to organic targets. Firing a weapon decloaks you. Each progressive level reduces energy drain. Nearly essential for the stealthy characters. - "Hazard Drone" Biomod This mod protects you from environmental hazards. Each level improves protection and lowers energy drain, and level 3 actually restores some energy. Not really a recommended biomod for anyone. There just aren't enough hazards for it to be of ANY use. - "Neural Interface" (BLACK MARKET) Biomod This mod allows you to hack security computers. Each level speeds up the hacking and adds more things you can do with the computers (such as making a turret turn to your side). This mod is practically essential to any character, possibly even being better than cloak for a stealth character! This should be your first black market ability. It doesn't even take energy! GET IT NOW!! ------------------- *SKELETAL BIOMODIFICATIONS* -------------------- - "Aggresive Defense Drone" Biomod This biomod detonates explosives shot or thrown at you before they can hit you. Each level causes the explosives to detonate closer to the enemy. This mod is a hard one to say weather it's useful or not. It really depends on how you play. It's probably best for fighters who don't melee, but other characters can find good use for it. While it takes no energy, it must beactivated to use. -"Thermal Masking" Biomod This biomod is the same as cloak, except it works against machines and not organics. Useful for stealthy characters, as usual. -"Electrostatic Dischrage" (BLACK MARKET) Biomod This biomod causes you to discharge electricity in melee attacks, increasing your melee damage against bots. Each level adds more damage, and level 3 adds a scramble effect that either changes the bot's allegience temporarily or disables them. Good for stealth and melee fighters. *Also* Discharge can be used to disable security beams! Strike the diamond shaped emitters on the walls with a melee weapon to disable the beam. (Thanks for the Reminder, LKoS!) ---------------------- *ARM BIOMODIFICATIONS* ---------------------- - "Strength Enhancement" Biomod This biomod gives you one slot more of inventory space per level, allows you to lift and throw heavier objects, increases throwing range/damage, and improves melee damage. Each level improves all of those things progressively. This mod is useful for pretty much any class, but especially melee fighters. - "Biotox Attack Drone" Biomod This launches a drone armed with non-lethal biotox shots. It hovers near you, attacking anything you attack, and only effects organic targets. Each level lowers energy usage. This mod is useful for non-lethal fighters, and maybe stealthy characters. - "Bot Domination" (BLACK MARKET) Biomod Yhis mod allows you to forcefully take control of bots, turrets, and cameras. Each level increases the size of bot you can dominate, domination time, and reduces energy use. This mod is useful for stealthy types to get a nice new look on the world. Useful for other characters to stay out of tough conflicts as well. To use, target and use (A on xbox) the bot you want to dominate, then you have about 10 seconds to run to a safe hiding spot before you become the bot. Takes energy to target and establish a link, but none to stay as the bot. You have about 10-15 seconds of in bot time, and you exit when you run out of time or the bot is destroyed. The bot itself is disabled when you exit it, which makes it useful to just take over a camera or turret and exit out to disable it for the cost of some energy instead of multitools or ammo. ---------------------- *LEG BIOMODIFICATIONS* ---------------------- - "Speed Enhancement" Biomod Superman! This mod allows you to run super fast and jump super high. Each level increases jump height, lowers jump damage, speeds you up, and lowers energy cost. This mod is useful for exploration, and for melee and fighter characters to dodge and home in on a target. - "Move Silent" Biomod This biomod allows you to walk/run/jump more silently. Each level increases the sound dampening. Requires no energy. This mod is obviousley useful mostly for stealthy chracters. - "Health Leach Drone" (BLACK MARKET) Biomod This biomod launches a drone that distintegrates organic corpses and in turn, heals you. Each level increases speed and lowers energy cost. This mod is useful as an alternative to regeneration. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Section B, Part 2: Location Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This section is a guide to the locations of biomod canisters. I'd like to give major credit to SOA. Aldaris, for providing most of this section of the faq. Thanks again SOA! ***WARNING! This section may contain some spoilers!*** ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Seattle ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------- Tarsus Academy Seattle --------------------- 3 Regulation Biomods - Laboratory - The easiest biomods to get in the game. All three are in a soon-unlocked cabinet on the wall opposite the door. You can't advance w/o them. 1 Black Market Biomod - Laboratory - In a locked container in the room after you (optionally) save the scientists. Go over by the vent and you will see the glow. The easiest way to get it is to blow up the container with the explosive crate. --------------------- Upper Seattle ------------------------------ 1 Regulation Biomod - Emerald Suites, Dr. Nassif's Apartment (2224) - In an unlocked footlocker in Dr. Nassif's bedroom. 1 Black Market Biomod - Club Vox, VIP Area - Received as a gift from the Omar Trader for bringing back the Gray tissue scan. Completing this also applies a 50% discount to all your purchases, which becomes very useful. 1 Black Market Biomod - Club Vox, VIP Area - Buy from the Omar Trader. 1 Black Market Biomod - WTO Air Terminal Hangar, after you obtain the code in Lower Seattle - There are four doors spaced apart that lead to a path of tunnels below the helipad platform. Go into any of them, but if you don't want to deal with red security beams, go into either of the two at the end of the area nearer the elevator you arrived on. Inside is a locked door. Inside the room, there is a locked footlocker with the biomod inside. --------------------- Lower Seattle ---------------------------- 1 Black Market Biomod - Lower Seattle Slums - Find the Omar Trader in the alleyway to purchase. --------------------- Mako Facility ---------------------------- 1 Regulation Biomod - Mako Biolab - From the elevator when you exit, go into the main room. Go up the stairs into the next room. It is in a locked cabinet near where the Project Director is standing. Requires two multitools. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Cairo ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------- Cairo Medinas ---------------------------- 1 Regulation Biomod - Nassif Greenhouse - This is a complicated biomod to find. It is not too hard, but it is inconveniently placed. Get to the top of the greenhouse, where the security terminal is. From there, if you look down, you will see a flat platform lower than you but higher than the ground. Jump down to it, and grab the multitools around the platform (there are two). After that, go to the corner on the other side of the room and to the right, if you were looking from the security terminal. Find the vent, and jump in. Crawl along until you find a vent opening on your right, halfway through the pipe. Go through there, and you will be in a secret room. In a corner is a box containing the biomod. 2 Black Market Biomods - North Medina - Buy from the Omar Trader (you buy them together for a slightly reduced price). --------------------- Cairo Arcology --------------------------- 1 Black Market Biomod - Cairo Arcology, SSC Office - Behind a grate in the holding cells (the area with laser beams at the door) is a biomod canister. The easiest way to get in is to disable the camera when the guard's not looking and then use some type of EMP to disable the beams when the guard's not looking instead of wasting multitools. 1 Regulation Biomod - Tarsus Academy - In the lab with greasels that you have to kill. It is in a locked cabinet. 1 Regulation Biomod - Arcology Main (Lv. 107-108)- Speak with the Pequod's manager on level 107. He will tell you to bribe NG Resonance's manager, who is in the Air Terminal, for a Pequod's endorement. Do it, return to him, and he will give you it as payment. 1 Regulation Biomod - ApostleCorp Facility (Corporate Suites) - If you chose to get the Mag Rail at Mako instead of killing the scientist, you will get this biomod when you talk to Klara when you first exit the elevator. 1 Regulation Biomod - ApostleCorp Facility, Laboratory Suite - The biomod is in a locked cabinet when you first get into the main lab. Easy to find, but requires multitools. --------------------- Trier ------------------------------------ 1 Black Market Biomod - SSC HQ, Evidence Room - To get this biomod canister, go into the evidence room. It is a lot easier if you have the Neural Interface. If you do, use it to turn off the camera in the evidence room and optionally switch the turret. Next, and this part is a lot easier if you have a Glass Destabilizer, get rid of the alarm-rigged window. Climb in and enjoy the spoils of victory, which includes the biomod on a high shelf. 1 Regulation Biomod - SSC HQ, Visiting Room - After Dumier tells you to speak with him, go to the Visiting Room. He will give you the biomod after talking to him. 1 Regulation Biomod - Nine Worlds Tavern, Dining Room - Speak to Tracer Tong. He will give you the biomod after talking. 1 Black Market Biomod - Nine Worlds Tavern Curio Shop and Black Gate Ruins - This biomod is a two-parter. The first part consists of going to the QueeQueg's down the alley. Once there, speak with David Kurczec. He will give you the code to get into the Curio Shop above the Nine Worlds Tavern. Go to the Nine Worlds and go into the Curio Shop. Speak with the Omar Trader. You must buy the biomod from him. Unfortunately, he does not have the merchandise with him, and you will have to get it at a drop point. To get to it, go to the main courtyard of the Black Gate Ruins (the part with a Military Bot). Once there, climb either of the towers and get to the top floor. Get rid of the guard and get to the other side of the top floor. Go in the door. In the room is the silver footlocker with the biomod inside. 3 Regulation Biomods - Black Gate Lab, Tracer Tong's Office - In Tong's office, there is a locked cabinet which houses all of the biomods. Look for the door labeled "Tong". 2 Black Market Biomods - Templar Compound - Get to the little boy named Billy. Jump up on the dumpster next to him. Jump over the railing and onto the raised area. Being midful of the turret, prceed down the alley and jump up on the box at the end. Jump up to the next. Now before you jump up to the large area, form your plan to take down the guards. There are two up top and one down in another near alley. In a container on the large, flat area are the biomods. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Antarctica ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------- Shackleton Ice Shelf ----------------------- 1 Regulation Biomod - Tent 04 - In a footlocker in the office. --------------------- JC's Sanctuary ----------------------------- 1 Regulation Biomod - JC's Sanctuary - When you first enter, go down the ladders to the bottom of the cavern. The canister is in a pit which has electricity running all over it and has a ladder down. The electricity will not hurt you if you stay close enough to the wall. 1 Regulation Biomod - JC's Sanctuary - Basically the same as the previous one except that it is after to you through the first Helios Processing Module. 1 Regulation Biomod - JC's Sanctuary - After you go through the Helios Module again, in the bottom of the cavern in the middle of the room (where the supplies were the previous area), the canister is laying on the ground. --------------------- Abandoned VersaLife Base ------------------- 1 Black Market Biomod - Complex Interior - In the hall behind the holding cells, there is a part where the floor opens up to reveal a crawlspace. There is one open section right next to a back entrance to a holding cell. This is where the biomod canister is. You might be able to see the glow from the canister to help you find it. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Cairo (2nd Visit) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------- Cairo Medinas --------------------- 1 Black Market Biomod - North Medina - Buy from the Omar Trader at the same location they were at before. --------------------- Cairo Arcology --------------------- 1 Regulation Biomod - Arcology Main (Lv. 107-108) - Nanoformer Maintenance Closet - After dispatching the guards, climb down the ladder through the broken glass. The biomod is behind some junk in the dark area. 1 Regulation Biomod - Arcology Air Terminal, Bay 23 - Talk to Dr. Nassif (if you let her live), and she will give you a biomod. 2 Regulation Biomods - Arcology Air Terminal, Bay 24 - Climb the ladder to get to the overlook. The canisters are with Paul Denton's belongings in a locked box. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Liberty Island ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------- East and West Docks ----------------------- 1 Black Market Biomod - West Docks - Meet up with Leo in the shed near the UNATCO Ruins. It is sitting on a box. 1 Regulation Biomod - East Docks - The shack you find Tong in houses this biomod in a back corner behind a crate. --------------------- Illuminati Encampment --------------------- 1 Regulation Biomod - In the building with Dumier and DuClare, there is a locked footlocker. Open it to get the biomod. --------------------- UNATCO Ruins ------------------------------ 1 Black Market Biomod - Storage Rooms - The storage area consists of two rooms across from each other guarded by a Templar Power Armor. Kill the Templar, and go into the left room with respect to the hallway in between. It is in a chest on the ground. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Section C: Character Builds ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This section gives a list of examples of configurations of characters. Use these as guidelines,and make each one your own. All mods are assumed as max unless noted. *Fighter* Mods: Regeneration, Neural Interface, Strength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Aggressive Defense Drone Weapons: Shotty, SMG, Rocket Launcher, Flame Thrower, Grenades. Notes: Generic Fighter. Simple and Effective. Watch the ammo, though. *Melee Fighter* Mods: Regeneration, Neural Interface, Strength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Electrostatic Discharge Weapons: Energy Blade, Dragon's Tooth Sword. Notes: Generic Melee. Use Speed to get in quick and slice and dice. *Bot Master* Mods: Spy Drone, Neural Interface, Bot Domination, Health Leach Drone, Agressive Defense Drone Weapons: Your choice Notes: Rely on bots to do your dirty work. Keep plenty of energy packs handy. *Monk* Mods: Regeneration, Cloak, Biotox Attack Drone, Move Silent, Thermal Masking Weapons: Non-lethals (Stun Prod, Riot Baton, Boltcaster and non-lethal nades) Notes: Avoid killing anyone! Use stealth to get by and use action only when needed. *Ninja* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Strength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Electrostatic Discharge Weapons: Any Bladed weapons, and Flash/Gas nades. Notes: Quick, Hidden, and Dangerous. Strike fast and hard and retreat to the shadows. *Templar* Mods: As few as possible. (When you have to, try strength or something that seems more normal..) Weapons: Anything Notes: Follow the Templar honor and don't mod yourself. This should be hard. *Stealth* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Bot Domination, Move Silent, Thermal Masking Weapons: Distractions, Anything else (Silenced) Notes: Avoid all contact. Use stealth and don't bother fighting unless needed. Kill if you must. Use bots to get a look around and take care of situations where stealth does not work. *Sniper* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Strength or Bot Dom, Move Silent, Thermal Masking Weapons: Scoped Weapons Notes: Take out your target from afar. *Venom* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Biotox Attack Drone, Move Silent, Themal Masking. Weapons: Biotoxin treated weapons. Notes: Pick your poison, kill your target. *Shotgunner* Mods: Regeneration, Neural Interface, Strength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Aggressive Defense Drone Weapons: Shotguns. (Mod them for different situations, say, having an EMP one..) Notes: Use speed to get in close and personal. Aim for the head, and watch them flip! *Demolitions Expert* Mods: Spy Drone, Neural Interface, Strength Enhancement, Health Leach Drone, Agressive Defense Drone Weapons: Explosives Notes: Make everything go boom. Use the Health Leach to heal off your blown up friends. *Trapper* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Bot Domination, Move Silent, Thermal Masking Weapons: Mines. Lots of mines. Notes: Use stealth and vision to see your target's patterns, then set up a trap. Very difficult build. *SCC Riot Guard* Mods: Regeneration, Neural Interface, Stength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Electrostatic Discharge Weapons: Riot Baton, Stun Baton Notes: Another zany build, use non-lethal blunt weapons to take out your foes. Remember to respect and protect your SCC siblings! *Illuminati* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Bot Domination, Move Silent, Thermal Masking Weapons: Absolutely nothing but distraction devices. Notes: The hidden controller. Don't interact with anyone but those absolutely required to. Use stealth and distraction to get by. You don't exist. *Black Market Biomodder* Mods: All Black Market Weapons: Anything Notes: Stupid build, but hey, it's a build. Use nothing but black market mods. Possibly not possible...? *Anti-Black Market Zealot* Mods: Anything but black market mods. Weapons: Anything Notes: Don't use anything black market biomods. Kill the Omar and anyone associated with them ASAP. *Grenadier* Mods: Regeneration, Hazard Drone, Strength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Aggressive Defense Drone Weapons: Grenades! Notes: An odd build- Use nothing but grenades to attack. Use your own gas grenades to regain energy with hazard drone, then regen your health back. Tough build. *Mag-Railer* Mods: Vision Enhancement, Cloak, Strength Enhancement, Move Silent, Thermal Masking Weapons: Mag-Rails, Modded for various uses. Notes: Another odd build. Rely on stealth to set up a sniping spot, then use your mag-rail to take out targets. Use the Mag-Rail's alternate shoot-through-walls EMP attack to take out bots, turrets and cameras without even coming close to them. *Dark Menace* (!!Try this one your second time through the game!!) Mods: Regeneration, Neural Interface, Strength Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, Aggressive Defense Drone Weapons: The strongest thing you can get your evil hands on. Notes: This is a fighter, although different. This fighter is evil. Your only job is to destroy EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Kill anyone you can on site, don't even bother talking. This is either a completely demented way to play or a completely new view on the game: Play through like this and see how well the game copes with important characters dying. Should be fun! *Assassin* (Curtesy of Noah Forsgren) Mods: Vision Enhancement, Neural Interface, Bot Domination, Health Leach, Thermal Masking Weapons: Bolt Caster, Flash bombs, Blades, Scoped weapons Notes: Take out your targets in the shadows with a scoped weapon, or use your boltcaster and finish the job with your trusty blade. Use bots as your tools to take out your targets with ease, and use Neural Interface to put security systems on your side. When your targets are out, use Health leach to regain your health. When trouble pops up, pull out a flash bang to stun your enemies and retreat to the shadows. *Peacekeeper* (Curtesy of Marcus Mattern) Mods: Regeneration, Cloak, Strength Enhancement, Move Silent, Electrostatic Discharge Weapons: Baton, Boltcaster, Magrail, and a Gun (SMG, etc.) with an EMP converter for bot blasting. Notes: Kill no one, but knock people out and decimate bots with extreme prejudice. Level 3 Discharge converts bots, so be sure to punch them dead before they kill. Cloak is the only way past Paladins and Elites who cannot be knocked out without dying. This is a difficult "violently non-lethal build" ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Section D, Part 1: Credits ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Not much of anyone to thank, just anyone who has read this FAQ, Our armed forces stationed all over, Microsoft for making the Xbox, Ion Storm for making Deus Ex, Eidos for Publishing it, SOA.
