Crowbar (DX)

In Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War, the Crowbar is a melee weapon. It's usually found in maintenance shafts and industrial areas, such as near power generators.

Gunther Hermann seems to show an affinity for Crowbars, as seen on a note in the Crowbar's description in Deus Ex.

Strategies
In Deus Ex, the Crowbar is useful for destroying crates before you get a Combat Knife. Once you get a Combat Knife, dump the Crowbar because the Knife does a very similar amount of damage and it only takes up one space in the inventory, compared to the Crowbar's two.

In Invisible War, the Crowbar is merely a slight upgrade to the Combat Knife. If you're using the Baton or have the Energy Blade, don't bother. Otherwise, you should pick it up, if only to make destroying crates a little bit easier.

Ingame Description
