Electronic Control Panel (DX)

Electronic control panels are devices in Deus Ex that are typically tied to electrical hazards and laser tripwires.

Control panels are interacted with using multitools. Fully bypassing a control panel will trigger a predefined event, which is typically the disabling of a linked electrical hazard or laser tripwire. The number of multitools needed to bypass a control panel depends on the control panel's bypass strength and the player's skill level inelectronics, which governs the effectiveness of multitools. Once a control panel has been bypassed (and its predefined event has been triggered), it no longer has any further functionality for the remainder of the mission.
