Widowmaker TX Tech-1

The Widowmaker TX Tech-1 is a weapon in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Overview
The Widowmaker TX Tech-1 is a derivative of the original Widowmaker TX, boasting higher versatility overall at the cost of slightly lowered damage.

It is a very powerful weapon to have on hand when dealing with enemies up close. It deals great damage within its effective range while its manageable recoil and crosshair bloom can be taken advantaged of after a short bit of getting used to. The Tech-1 has an additional advantage of being highly ubiquitous, being favored by the Police, security personnel, street hoodlums, Shadow Operatives and gangsters alike, making it highly unlikely to ever run out of ammo during use.

However, the Tech-1 without modifications has a rather small magazine and slow fire rate, making it ill-advised to close in too much during firefights. Without reload speed augmentations, the Tech-1 is also rather tedious to reload, which can leave the player vulnerable during the noticeable downtime. Lastly, due to the same ubiquity that ensures the weapon's long lifetime, detected players can find themselves coming under fire from multiple shotgun-bearing hostiles that can shred their health in an instant if flanked.
