Experience by area (DXHR)

This page is dedicated to revealing the exact amount of experience points awarded during different stages of Deus Ex: Human Revolution with the goal of obtaining the most XP possible.

It is a part of Deus Ex: Human Revolution walkthrough.

Abbreviations

 * TOT: Total XP of a sub-section.
 * GTD: Getting Things Done
 * COM: Completionist
 * GHO: Ghost
 * SMO: Smooth Operator
 * SIL: Silver Tongue
 * HAC: Covers the hacking bonuses Script Kiddie, Grey Hat, Black Hat, L33t Sk1llz and Master Hacker including XP bonuses from data nodes. Each device is listed as (LX+Y), where X is a difficulty level and Y is a sum of XP from all data nodes

 * EBO: Scholar (for reading one of the 29 unique e-books)
 * MAN(x): Number of enemies that reward you with combat XP in a particular part of the level. Note that many normally friendly NPCs may turn hostile to the player if attacked or provoked (cops in a DPD building, street policemen, armed civilians, etc.), but since no XP rewards are given for dealing with them they're not included in MAN count.

 * STD: Single Takedown
 * DTD: Double Takedown

Sections summaries
At the end of each section you will find a summary for XP:

SECTION SUMMARY Section XP: N = (P1 + P2 + ...) (where Px is XP in each part of this section) Combat XP: C = X + Y

Maximum Section XP: N + C Maximum XP: (Maximum XP from previous section) + (Maximum Section XP)
 * MAN(X): where X is a sum of all MAN(x) from each part of this section
 * Maximum DTD: D (D*2 enemies)
 * Maximum MAN XP = X = M*50 + D*25 = X1 + X2
 * BOT(A): where A = number of (T)urrets + number of (S)ecurity bots + number of (B)oxguards
 * Maximum BOT(XP) = Y = T*45 + S*45 + B*250 = Y1 + Y2 + Y3

Combat XP and Double Takedowns (DTDs)
There will be a slight variation in earned XP, depending on player's chosen combat tactics and story/dialogue choices. Since this is a guide on how to get maximum XP all story-related decision are geared towards enabling the player to engage the most enemies (without role-playing considerations) and are incompatible with certain achievements, notably the Pacifist and Good Soul and (probably) Foxiest of the Hounds. Though this cases are rare and clearly marked in this guide.

Every enemy in the game is presumed to be knocked out with at least single non-lethal takedown and double takedown (whenever possible) because they net the most XP (50 XP for STD, 62.5 XP for each enemy in DTD). In a "Combat XP" sub-section of a section summary you'll find every enemy in a level listed along with a maximum number of possible DTDs.

DTD numbers aren't just for show — all of them were tested and verified numerous times. It is also possible (but hard) to earn every Ghost and Smooth Operator bonus and knock out as much as 90% of all enemies in the game with DTDs. This strategy was used throughout this guide and is fully examined in this Double Takedowns guide.

For detailed combat information consult Enemies by area page.

Augmentations build
Here is a list of augmentations required to get every XP reward listed on this page. This guide was done in stealth + takedowns-only playstyle so the augmentations choice reflects that too.

Mandatory augs
 * Quicksilver Reflex Booster (Multiple Take-Down): Enables the DTD and must be activated as soon as possible (ideally during the mission in the Sarif Manufacturing Plant). In this guide it is the first aug acquired.
 * Hacking: Capture (Level 2 + 3 + 4 + 5): Must be upgraded up to level 5 during the first visit to Detroit to hack every available device. It also makes hacking easier and thus renders all other hacking augs (Hacking Stealth, Fortify, Analyze) practically useless: if you're going for every node to get all XP bonuses you'll have enough "Nuke" and "Stop" viruses, so the level 4-5 devices won't be a problem.

Mandatory "single-case" augs
 * Social Enhancer: Used to get additional 100 XP from officer Nicholas during the second visit to Detroit. Marginally useful in other cases: provides additional dialogue options and makes conversation battles easier — but never provides any additional XP options except this case.
 * Implanted Rebreather (Chemical Resistance): Required to enter the security room filled with toxic gas in Panchaea and hack the security terminal (500 XP). Every other gas-filled room in the game can be either cleaned of gas or reached through other means.

Non-mandatory, but highly useful augs
 * Punch Through Wall: Not necessary to break the weak walls (they can be destroyed with explosives or normal weapons), but without highlighting this aug provides it's rather hard to notice them unless you already know where to look. It will recoup its cost immediately: there is a praxis kit hidden behind breakable wall in Detroit sewers and another kit in Hengsha sewers.
 * Jump Enhancement: There is a lot of hidden places to explore which naturally requires a lot of jumping. And though every hidden place can be reached through crate stacking it's hardly worth the effort.
 * Icarus Landing System: Used to circumvent Adam's low tolerance for falling damage. Also there are few places that are hard to reach without this aug, notably the ventilation shaft in the Hengsha's Lower City Factory — but possible with some patience and exploiting the game's physics (see this video).
 * Move/Throw Heavy Objects: Moving heavy objects will enable quick shortcuts through levels, provide new tactical opportunities and will make certain tasks (like stealthily hacking computers in the Police station) a lot easier.
 * Glass-Shield Cloaking System: Highly useful for aggressive non-lethal Ghost playstyle. Some DTDs are very hard to perform without it.

Seemingly mandatory augs 1) pass through the electrified floor in the corridor leading to Police station backyard, but it's possible to pass it using two crates without augments (see this video)
 * Dermal Armor (EMP Shielding): Nullifies damage from electrified floors and EMP mines. It may seem like this aug is required to:

2) get inside the hidden area behind electrified pool in the Hegsha's Construction site, but actually it is possible to just run through the hazard and survive (replenishing the health by eating a few painkillers, if needed).

Few words about mandatory equipment:
 * The only really mandatory item (if you're aiming for 100% completion) is a Laser rifle — it's pretty much the only way to destroy the inactive security bot in the Panchaea's Ring section without triggering the alarm and forfeiting your Smooth Operator bonus. The tactics discussed here. The rifle can be found either after meeting Tong in Harvesters' hideout or during the visit to Singapore.

Ghost / Smooth Operator bugs
There is a bug present in both console versions and the recent PC build (v1.3.643.1), where some Ghost and Smooth Operator bonuses may not be awarded to certain players when they complete an objective stealthily (see this video for illustration). The details about causes and occurrences are not clear, but it seems that it has something to do with save game files of former playthroughs. If you're not getting a bonus you think you should get, you're most probably affected by the bug. It is strongly recommended to remove all save game information before starting a new playthrough. For PC users, the files are located at .../Steam/userdata/*UID*/28050/. For affected console users, creating a new profile for each playthrough seems to be the way to go.

Sarif Industries - introduction
Although there is no HUD displaying it, all the enemies during the intro level yield XP. This is one of the situations where you have to kill someone in order to maximize XP. So if you're going for the Pacifist achievement at the same time, you will not be able to get all the listed XP bonuses. Takedowns or non-lethal neutralizations aren't possible, so you get a maximum of 20 XP (for head shots) per kill. SECTION SUMMARY
 * MAN(9)

Maximum MAN(XP) = 180 = 9*20

Maximum XP: 180

Sarif Industries - first visit
Since we can't get any praxis points at this stage we cannot hack any of the (L2+) devices and should leave them all for later, including Jensen's computer (L3).
 * GTD(150): Talk to Pritchard about the retinal display.
 * EBO(200): On Pritchard's desk (1/29).
 * EXP(200): Vent shaft in the helipad service access area. To reach it head for the cafeteria and turn right to go down the stairs. Turn left and you should see the vent near a Pepsi machine.
 * GTD(150): Board the chopper.

Additional XP:

Do this only if you're aiming for maximum XP and going to do all possible DTD in Sarif Plant, otherwise you will lose more XP than you gain. You can "metagame" a bit: use the code 4145 on the office #27 door lock and get this 3 bonuses (instead getting them on your return to Sarif Industries).
 * EBO(400): Office 25 and 27 (4&5/29).
 * EXP(100): Vent connecting offices 25-27.

SECTION SUMMARY Maximum Section XP: 700/1200 Maximum XP: 880/1380

Sarif Manufacturing Plant
How to get second praxis point early It is possible to get 2nd praxis point in the Sarif Plant BEFORE confronting Zeke Sanders and WITHOUT knocking out most of the enemies. This way you can maximize your XP by activating Reflex Booster and performing as many DTDs as possible. Exactly how early it will become available depends on previous choices. In best case, you've killed every soldier in the Introduction (180 XP) and "meta-gamed" in Sarif Industries (1200 XP). If you will get every possible XP bonus in Sarif Plant except for combat XP, you'll have: Intro:180 + SI1:1200 + SP1:800 + SP2:650 + SP3:1300 + SP4:550 = 4680 XP. Destroying the turret near the server room (45 XP) and knocking out 6 enemies with STD (6*50=300 XP) should get your XP to 5025, which is enough for 2nd praxis. Since you'll have to hack 10 computers in the Admin Building, it's advisable to knock out 5 enemies there, plus one enemy from somewhere earlier. It will leave 26 guys for you to perform DTD on — and it is possible to knock all of them out with DTD.

 * EXP(100): Vent connecting restroom with office.
 * EBO(200): On a table in the room before Zeke (3/29).
 * HAC(275): 11 hackable computers (11xL1): 10 computers in the cubicles and 11th in the same room as Zeke.

Maximum XP: 11675

Sarif Industries - second visit
You'll have to upgrade your "Hacking: Capture" aug to Level 5 to hack all the locked doors and computers in Sarif HQ during your stay in Detroit, so plan accordingly. Do not hack your own computer yet, first see the section Detroit City - First visit: "The Alley".


 * GTD(1000): Give Typhoon to Pritchard.
 * GTD(1000): Meet with Sarif.
 * COM(500): Go to my office. Accept Lesser Evils from Tim Carella.
 * HAC(825): 11 office doors (8xL2, 2xL3, L4) and the helipad storage door (L5), computer (L2) in office 32. Again, do not hack your own computer until you hack the door and safe in Thorpe's apartment.
 * HAC(575): Your own computer (L3+500). Accept the the quest One Good Turn Deserves Another and return to Thorpe to hack his safe again.
 * EBO(400): Office 25 and 27 (4&5/29).

SECTION SUMMARY

Alternative: If you've followed the advice to maximize XP from the Sarif Industries - first visit section, then you'll lose some XP here, since you won't be able to hack (L2) office #27 door: -HAC(50). Also 500 XP = EBO(400)+EXP(100) are already included in "Section XP" above. Taking these bonuses early is actually beneficial for XP in the long run: with additional 500 XP you'll have to do 10 STD less in Sarif Plant and can perform 5 DTD instead: 5*25 = 125 XP. Even accounting for the missed HAC(50), this strategy still nets 125 - 50 = 75 XP more. We include this bonus in "Maximum XP" in this section and on this page in general.

Section XP: 4600/4050

Police Station
There are 2 different ways to finish the main mission objective (Investigating the Suicide Terrorist):


 * 1) SIL(1000): Reach the morgue freely by convincing Haas to let you in.
 * 2) GHO(500)+SMO(250): Reach the morgue without permission, staying undetected.

The bonuses of methods 1. and 2. are mutually exclusive. In either case, none of the NPCs inside the station yield any XP, even if hostile. So even if you lose the persuasion game on purpose (Life Lesson (100)) and follow method 2, it is still 150 XP behind method 1.

The door to the morgue and one laser system terminal will turn green once you persuade Haas, losing their hacking bonus. So take the sewer entrance first and hack them beforehand.


 * HAC(50): Laser system terminal (L2) in the basement near the sewer entrance.
 * HAC(75): Morgue door (L1+50) (disabled after convincing Haas).
 * HAC(50): Laser system terminal (L2) securing door leading to the upper levels (disabled after convincing Haas). After you done these 3 hacks, exit using the sewers and reenter the police station through the main entrance.
 * SIL(1000): Convince Haas to let you in.

Northern Detroit & Derelict Row
You may want to enter Derelict Row and neutralize all opposition before receiving either mission pertaining to it, so you don't risk your GHO or secondary objective bonus. You can also deactivate the antenna before receiving the mission for it (you'll get a little chat with Sarif on how you outsmarted Pritchard). Whether you wait for the mission to be official or not, you will be rewarded with the same amount of XP.

Upper City Labs
It is generally possible to stealth rush all the objectives up to the final extraction at the hangar (see Penthouse part) for the GHO/SMO bonuses and then return for the rest without having to worry about them. This could be the preferred way to handle this part, as the civilians/security bots tend to blow your Ghost bonuses, sometimes for no obvious reason. Like, for example, if a bot sees a body of its former ally (even after you reprogram it to a friendly status) your Ghost will get ruined.

Quest-independent XP bonuses (EXP, HAC, EBO) listed in Detroit City - first visit section can be gained on second visit too if you've missed them. Only new XP rewards are listed in this section.

NOTE: There was a rumor that closing already hacked doors and safes during the first visit to Detroit would make them hackable again on second visit. Turns out it's not true: neither gates, nor doors, nor safes get re-locked — only computers that were originally hackable. All other devices stay in the same state you left them. There is a single exception though — safe in Thorpe's apartment can be hacked for a third time, but its re-lock is likely a bug, considering that Greg Thorpe will initiate the same dialog from the One Good Turn Deserves Another quest when you talk to him.

Locations of the computers (and one safe) that can be hacked again on second visit, TOT(350):
 * HAC(25): Eastern Downtown Apartments (L1).
 * HAC(150): Northern Downtown Apartments, across Seurat (L2+100).

Hengsha - second visit
There is very little to do in Hengsha on second visit except main mission and side-quests. Of course, if you've missed some of the quest-independent XP rewards on first visit you'll have another chance to get them. The only new XP rewards available through free exploration are from 3 devices: As usual, you can purchase 2 praxis kits (17&18/21) from LIMB clinic. Also you can complete the optional objective by talking to LIMB receptionist.
 * HAC(50): Security hub (L2) on a first floor of Hung Hua Hotel.

Construction site
It is hard, but possible to simultaneously 1) Save Malik 2) Do it with non-lethal takedowns (i.e. retain Pacifist status) 3) Get Ghost — see 1 and 2. Nevertheless it is suboptimal XP-wise, since you can't set up DTD while soldiers attack the helicopter (4 DTD possible after they destroy it and return to relaxed state). Since this is a "Maximum XP" guide, we'll choose the most rewarding route: leave Malik to her fate and run unseen to the elevator, get Ghost, use the elevator again to get back down to the construction site, then dispatch all soldiers with non-lethal takedowns (4 DTD, 2 STD) and destroy the boxguard.


 * MAN(10)
 * BOT(1): Boxguard that is dropped by helicopter either after a set time or when you cross the middle of the construction site.
 * EXP(300): Underground area behind the electrified water pool.
 * GTD(1000): Escape the construction site.

NOTE: Though Harvesters' hideout is build like any other "serious" level, it's impossible to get GHO/SMO here.

Old Noodle Factory (DLC)

NOTE: If you really want to get all augs by the end of the game (which requires 235000 XP) you better have this mission. Completing it gives 3500 XP and the maximum XP in the game is 241770 (with 4150 XP from all possible 166 DTD bonuses included). Without this mission there is just 238270 XP in the game total (234245 XP without DTD bonuses).
