M-28 Utility Remote-Detonated Explosive Device



The M-28 UR-DED (Utility Remote-Detonated Explosive Device) is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, appearing only with the Explosive Mission Pack.

Background
The M-28 UR-DED is a remote explosive developed by Steiner Bisley. It is the next-generation iteration of the venerable Satchel charge. The M-28 UR-DED consist of 273gr of blue liquid nano explosive wrapped in a transparent package that can adhere to any surface and a wireless remote trigger. The user can detonate the package with radio remote trigger or using either direct fire-targeting. This explosive can work alone or being slaved to other M-28 UR-DED.

This remote-detonation capability combined with the propensity among enemies to investigate explosions means that even a pacifist player might find this useful as a distraction. You don't need to be able to see the UR-DEDs you have deployed; merely hold down the throw/use button (default 'g') to detonate them and draw attention.

Locations

 * Sarif Manufacturing Plant, four are given to the player in the start, if the Explosive Mission Pack is installed.
 * Detroit - Adam Jensen's apartment, one can be found in the secret stash behind the TV screen.
 * Hengsha - Harverster's Hideout, one can be found in the security room with a sleeping gang member inside, close to a turret, just below Street Level.
 * Hengsha - Harverster's Hideout, one can be found in a makeshift surgery room on floor 1, next to the cells.

Behind the scenes

 * UR-DED is shorthand for "You are dead" or "You're dead."
 * The detonator shown in the concept art is not used with the explosives in-game. However, it is used as the inventory icon for the 'Unknown Handheld Device' that the player is given at the beginning of the bonus mission to rescue Tracer Tong.
