Deus ex human revolution lethal or non lethal how to#

If you plan to do a completely non-lethal takedown run of the game a) bosses don't count and b) the intro where you only have a gun, it tells you how to kill people, and gives you no non-lethal options does count.

The stealth enhancers and hacking analyzers are all total crap, while the flash suppressant, gas immunity, and sprint boosters are marginal at best.

Resist the urge to hack every terminal you see just for the XP.

A good hack is a mixture of planning out your path to have as much stuff in the bag before a trace starts as possible, and frantically juggling your capture and fortify options once the trace starts. Once you have to start hitting nodes with high detection chances, fortify everything you've got as you start the capture process, and try capturing / fortifying several nodes at once before the trace starts.

Hacking basics: capture the nodes that are unlikely to be detected first, and if you are detected disconnect and try again.

When hacking, if you capture the red security node, the hack succeeds and you automatically get all the bonus nodes.

The EMP shielding aug actually makes you totally immune to electricity, so you can walk through electrified water and such.

To disarm a mine, hit walk, then crouch-walk up to it and use it.Also, unless you are roleplaying an asshole, there is no reason to do a lethal takedown, ever. Contrary to what the tutorial implies, you don't have to sneak up on someone to do a takedown.However, if you have the director's cut, an actual sniper rifle can be found early on.

In my previous hint I recommended choosing the tranq rifle from Sarif, because it's the only scoped long-range weapon you get for a while.It's the only scoped weapon you'll get for a while. When Sarif offers you a choice of weapons, I recommend the tranq rifle (choose nonlethal-ranged).
