Widowmaker SMG

"Rapid-fire submachine gun modified by Omar Technosect for accuracy. Its alternate firing mode launches a spiderbomb."

- inventory description

The Widowmaker SMG is a unique SMG found in Deus Ex: Invisible War. It can be found on levels 107-108 of the Cairo Arcology during the player's second visit.

Background
The Widowmaker SMG is a common SMG modified by the Omar. Its last known user before Alex D (if the player finds it) is an unnamed SSC Guard who was presumably killed in the Archology after the Templars took control of the facility.

Characteristics
The primary fire is the same as the regular SMG's, but it has higher accuracy.

The alternate fire shoots a spiderbot instead of a Flashbomb. This spiderbot behaves the same as the one deployed as the Spiderbomb. Each shot uses a full bar of ammo in Normal difficulty.

Tactics

 * Be cautious when using the alternate fire because of how much ammo each shot uses. It can be easy to run out of ammo if constantly using the alternate fire in battle. Surprisingly, the Ammo Scavenger mod does not change this.


 * As with the spiderbomb, the player should use it as a distraction when fighting enemies. Fire a spiderbomb, the shoot enemies while they're distracted by the spiderbot.


 * The Widowmaker is useful for medium-range shots because of its high amount of accuracy.


 * The same mods for the SMG also work with the Widowmaker SMG, with the bonus that shots will be more accurate than with the normal SMG.
