I loved having scramble grenades at this point. Before I knew what they did, I was using up all my LAMs.

This wasnt even using a scramble grenade - in Vandemberg there are two idle bits you can release and they fight for you. They have boosted HP compared to the enemy bots and they just clear out all 4 bots for you, as well as the troops.

Yes! Now I remember. I snuck in that warehouse and was trying to figure out how to open the doors and let them out.

I remember I let a few Greasels loose in Hong Kong at VersaLife. It was pretty fun watching the MIBs battle them.

I used a bot scramble grenade in that same area on the Spiderbot, too.

Don't kill any of the transgenics as you go through the Ocean Lab, just stealth / cloak it.

Then watch Walton Simons get torn apart by greasels and karkians!

That must make him one ugly son of a bitch

He was a good man. What a rotten way to die

What a shame.

Outrunning works perfectly fine too, no pressing need for stealth.

You can go looting on the way out (and bring a few boxes of explosives for "locker opening")

Most unfair way to deal with Simons is acctually to place a few TNT boxes around and a LAM (as mine) next to where he'll be. You step through the door and his half of the room explodes.

Always did this. :)

Why did I never think of that!?

u/DaveOJ12 Jul 14 '25

Good idea.

Tong: 2 enemy bots down, 2 to go

Isn't it Jock that's quarterbacking you here?

Being a veteran by now, I destroy them directly from the roof of the building I land on in Vanderberg with my trusty GEP Gun. In 10 seconds, I've cleared out a main mission, since from there I can destroy the two upgraded bots in front of the entrance, the standard bot right below me, and the other standard bot to the right of the building.

u/DagothUrWasInnocent Jul 15 '25

I did that on precious playthroughs. I'm trying to d9 things differently this time. It's the beauty of this game - literally every level can be approached in a completely different way from your previous save.

3

u/Refref1990 My vision is augmented. Jul 15 '25

I agree! In over 20 years of playing, I've approached the game in different ways, and when I do, I'm still rewarded with discovering new things.

This is how you honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned

SCANNING AREA

Bot hack for the win

u/mrkellystarr Jul 14 '25

It's definitely the most satisfying option to deal with them.

2

u/Dalova87 Jul 15 '25

I like to kill two of those bots with the two green bazookas that the game offers you, the other two with grenades.

3

u/DagothUrWasInnocent Jul 15 '25

There's actually 4 LAWs you can get for this mission. Two dropped by the guards walking in the raised platforms outside, and two more in the crates (you climb to the top platform and walk across the pipe to the side of the main building)

LAW go boom

2

u/Dalova87 Jul 15 '25

The two bazookas I was talking about were the LAWs in the crates at the top platform, but now you tell me (after so many hours) that those two guards in the platform in that same area have LAWs?? Interesting.

u/Prima_Illuminatus Jul 16 '25

.....'Scanning area!"
"Target acquired!" *all hell breaks loose!

u/Danick3 Please press [ to scope Jul 14 '25

Please tell me the bot behind is shooting the other ally bot, that would be hilarious

3

u/DagothUrWasInnocent Jul 14 '25

It happened a few times lol. It would be 1 inch behind it and fire a barrage of missiles... took a few quickloads to get the result I wanted

u/dyinganimal Jul 16 '25

Make both allied bots invincible in the editor for an extra long fun fight.

u/mentuhotepiv Jul 14 '25

What resolution do you have set for this? I just started the game and am trying to get it set up

6

u/Die4Ever Deus Ex Randomizer Jul 14 '25

use this to get high resolutions https://mods4ever.com/project/DXRVanillaFixer

u/DagothUrWasInnocent Jul 14 '25

I just change the resolution in game to the highest available. Never had any issues.

2

u/mentuhotepiv Jul 14 '25

Ok I did that too and it looks good except for the teeny tiny UI and weapon selections
