Sword

"A rather nasty-looking sword."

- Description in Deus Ex

The sword is a low-tech skill weapon in Deus Ex.

Overview
The sword has a much higher base damage than the crowbar and the combat knife, but requires even more inventory space. Although the sword has the appearance of a large weapon, its actual reach is slightly lower than that of the crowbar and combat knife.

The sword first appears in Hong Kong, but is quickly made obsolete, as the Dragon Tooth's sword is obtainable soon after the sword makes it first appearance.

Locations

 * The weapon is first found in a crate on the roof of the MJ12 Helibase in Hong Kong.
 * The sword is frequently found in Hong Kong. For example, the triads doing battle in canal road all carry swords. Swords are also found on the smugglers boat, in the Luminous Path compound, and in the hands of Luminous Path members.

Trivia

 * Paul Denton carries a sword in the first mission in Liberty Island, and will use it if he runs out of ammo.
