Sword

"A rather nasty-looking sword."

- description of Sword

The Sword is a low-tech skill weapon in Deus Ex. The weapon is first obtainable at the MJ12 Helibase in Hong Kong.

This weapon can be found on the roof of the Hong Kong Helipad in a crate, on the roof of the VersaLife sky scraper, in a stash in the Hong Kong market, and in the hands of Triads doing battle in canal road. They are also found on the smugglers boat, in the Luminous Path compound, and in the hands of Luminous Path members.

Paul Denton uses a sword in the first mission in Liberty Island after he runs out of ammo.

Tactics

 * The sword has improved damage compared to the crowbar and the combat knife, but requires more inventory space.


 * The sword is quickly made obsolete, as the Dragon Tooth's sword is obtained soon after the sword can first be picked up.
