Weapon Modification (Range)

Weapon Modification (Range) is a weapon modification in Deus Ex. It is used to increase the accurate range of compatible weapons.

Effects
Up to 5 range modifications can be installed on a particular weapon that is compatible.

The range modification only affects compatible hitscan (instant-hit) weapons, which consist of the pistol, stealth pistol, assault rifle (when firing 7.62mm rounds), and sniper rifle. Each range modification increases accurate range by 10%, for a total of 50% with 5 range modifications installed.

Although the range modification can also be installed on certain projectile weapons, namely the mini-crossbow, flamethrower, plasma rifle, and GEP gun, the range modification has no actual effect when used on these weapons, even though the inventory interface will indicate a range increase. This is because the range modification only modifies the accurate range of the weapon itself, but in the case of projectile weapons, the accurate range of a fired projectile is instead governed by the projectile's own accurate range, which is separate from the weapon's accurate range. For a more detailed explanation, please see the article on range mechanics. Note that the assault rifle is a projectile weapon when firing its 20mm HE secondary ammunition.

Compatible weapons
A checkmark (✔) indicates compatibility.

Locations
