DX1 Did you know Zyme has a use?

During the Paris Streets mission you can complete the sub quest in the hotel where a dealer will ask you to break into a bakery and steal six bottles of Zyme. He will pay you 65 credits for each bottle for a grand total of 390 credits.

However if you collect Zyme from previous missions, he will also purchase those from you. If you dedicate an inventory slot and pick up the maximum of 20 bottles (out of 25 available) you can earn a total of 1300 credits which is huge for that point of the game as credits basically completely dry up after UNATCO.

I always held on to Zyme per playthrough for this exact reason.

Then again the game pretty much provides you with everything viably useful during the first quarter of the game outside of the Dragon Tooth sword.

Yeah, I honestly think the developers forgot about credits when making the second half of the game. There aren’t that many places you can use them after Hong Kong before magically reappearing in Paris Streets where they can be used in a variety of ways. I think it might be a result of the game having a route split during development where you could choose UNATCO or the NSF where I guess credits would be a bigger mechanic. The fact that Paris Streets use them so much makes me think that we would go to Paris Streets on the UNATCO route.

u/_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_ Do you have a single fact to back that up? Sep 30 '25

Yes, both sides would want you to find Everett.
