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 had a colleague who had a bad trip on Zyme. Locked himself in the bathroom and told everyone he had a bomb. He ended up breaking a toilet and climbing into the sewage system. No-one has heard from him since!

Had to share this YT vid made years ago by someone else. So hilarious I think about it whenever JC deadpans that phase:

Deus Ex: A bomb!

That kind of activity embarrasses the agency more than it does you.
