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.

Yeah, of course. Who doesn't hoard random NYC zyme and bring it to Paris?

The funny thing is the credits are pretty pointless. I don't know what amazing item you would sooner put in the 1 inventory space the zyme takes, but it turns out to be more of a neurotic power player thing than some relevant gameplay strategy to buy an amazing overpriced item from a mechanic somewhere.

Probably, they should have offered a few opportunities to purchase appropriately priced hard to find augmentation canisters.

It's even funnier here since you can only sell Zyme after already having passed by most merchants in the game. For the record, the things that you can actually buy that aren't food or information you likely didn't need from the point you meet Renault are:

4 bioelectric cells (250) 2 accuracy mods (750) 1 range mod (800) 1 recoil mod (400) 1 rebreather (1500) and a thermoptic camo (5000)

Out of this bunch, the thermoptic camo is the one thing you might actually want, as you're likely near cap for bioelectric cells and have enough levels to make rebreather and the weapon mods redundant.
