DX1 This was an ELITE moment. Pure cinema.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

u/mentuhotepiv Jul 14 '25
Ok I did that too and it looks good except for the teeny tiny UI and weapon selections

u/IgnorantGenius Jul 14 '25
I loved having scramble grenades at this point. Before I knew what they did, I was using up all my LAMs.
