I thought it was the D&D thread. Certainly not a shortage of Liberal flag-waving in a thread where the government is turning out to be the result of Progressive policies. I forgot only Progressive viewpoints matter, what with most of the corners dedicated for lefty causes. Countering my view points with left-leaning sources is enough to prove me a liar because it was used against me.

How are Progressive policies helping the poor anyway? Two more years and the gap in income from poor and rich are accelerating thanks to people like you.

You can get the crossbow and sniper rifle before you even go into the statue. Otherwise I think the first GEP gun is in a tower at the airport.

i dont think i've ever tried to do a rifles-based game in deus ex and go in guns blazing etc. because i just remember the shotgun being useless as gently caress and the machine gun being pretty useless except for the grenade launcher. i don't think i've ever put serious points into heavy either because you don't need to for occasional use. and the flamethrower and plasma gun suck rear end

i should play it again and force myself not to do the usual nerdy pistol/low tech/hacking/lockpicking poo poo

it's not the original by any means but it's worth playing through once even though it's the series' bastard child

Put a laser sight on the "assault rifle" and it becomes pin-point accurate regardless of your skill in rifles. If you get to master it does 4 damage instead of 3, which allows you to kill everything except MJ12 commando's and WiB/MiB in a single 3round burst, if you get the targetting mod, you can kill everything except Gunther and Simons in 1 burst. Also you can silence it for lols.

The shotguns are good too, but even with all your augs, on realistic you are too weak to take much damage meaning that every fight at close range is a coin flip. Also you already have the best close-range weapon, the Dragon's Tooth.

Oh also at master the sniper rifle can destroy camera's, alarm panels and turrets in one hit, and even the small security bots in like 3?

the crossbows in IW are hilarious because guards get alerted but they can't get to you so they run around in circles while they slowly die from poison/fire

The automatic shotgun (Otto's Shotto, for those of us who are "cool ex," as DX fans say) is really good and will kill commandos and MIBs very quickly. If you get master rifles it works at a long range and you can take on big groups with it.

the laser sight bug is i think with every weapon that can take the mod but yeah

im pretty sure you can one-shot gunther at least with the sniper if you have enough rifles, simons idk because he doesnt pop up in a convenient enough way to check but there are way funnier ways to kill simons anyway

I think I've been able to one-shot Anna before she can talk to me, but never Gunther, that requires a second bullet.

I stand outside the room, bounce a LAM into his corner to flush him out, then blow him up with a GEP rocket. He'll run away from the LAM and then straight toward you to try to initiate dialogue.

I think you have to look on two different PCs in UNATCO headquarters, hers and Manderley's. I think?

It's definitely better to blow her up in the plane and say something like "Splatlander Woman, heh."
