Deus Ex Weaponry and Upgrades

Want to kill something? Want to knock something out? Here is the place to go! Each weapon in the Deus Ex world is effective in its own way. No weapon is unique at the start, but through your own personal choices for upgrades, they can adapt to any fighting style. Note that as the stories progess, more weapons will be added to the arsenal.

All Weapons will have a brief description, as well as what upgrades can be attached to them, and how many times.


Expandable Baton: A Non-lethal melee weapon used by peace-keeping and riot-control forces world-wide.Two cylindrical steel shafts lock into each other and exit the handle, forming the weapon. It is made of steel and can knock an opponent unconscious in a few strikes (or one perfectly placed one).

Dragon's Tooth Sword: Also refered to as the NEB or non-eutactic blade, the dragon's tooth is a nontechnologicall constructed blade that is dynamically forged on command into a eutactic solid. Essentially, press a button and watch the nanobots build your sword for you, and deconstruct when finished. It is virtually indestructible and incredibly sharp. It was named by and is a favorite of China's Triad gangs.

Pepper Gun: A low-ranger modification to the traditional pepper spray. Using Pepper Cartridges as ammunition, this gun can be used to stun an enemy for a short period of time, though is completely useless on non-humans or enemies with eye protection. The spray can also be used to bypass laser-beam tripwires without triggering them, the spray diverting the beam.

Stun Baton: Using a small surge of electricity upon contact, the Stun Baton is used for non-lethal incapacitation. Certian civilian employees and same riot police carry these weapons.

Dao: A Chinese broad-sword used by the Triads in melee combat. While not more than a basic sword, it may be very useful to bypass acoustic sensors able to detect gunfire. (Note that most swords can replace the Dao)

This is more of my treat to you. I'm sure just using the weaponry above would feel limited, and who's to say you need to just find a crowbar to use in a street fight as opposed to anything you can find? If you have an idea for weaponry, feel free to post it in your profile with some information regarding it (rarity, how it works, power, ammo capacity, upgrades, things like that). If it works, I'll give the ok and add it to the list under here!
