G.A.R.M.

G.A.R.M. is the scientific research center, located near one of Europe’s last glaciers. It is one of the locations visited in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Background
It was built to obtain baseline geological data. Elements uncovered from the glacier were to be collected, cataloged, stored, and studied there, in hopes that new kinds of natural resources could be discovered. But in 2025, fears of a worldwide recession forced the European Union to reorganize priorities. Funding was cut and G.A.R.M. was sold off to private interests. Never to be thought about again.
