Experience by area (DXMDDM)

 This page is dedicated to revealing the exact amount of  experience  points awarded during different stages of  Deus Ex: Mankind Divided DLC Desperate Measures  with the goal of obtaining the most XP possible. By following this guide you should be able to unlock most available  augmentations  by the end of the game.

This guide contains major spoilers and presupposes good knowledge of the game's mechanics. Therefore it is not recommended as a guide on a first playthrough — refer to corresponding walkthrough instead.

Starting Notes
The abbreviatons and general gameplay tips are identical to those used in the basegame guide.

Augmentation build
The player can acquire a maximum of 23 Praxis points in the DLC. 15 points is already acquired at the beginning, 5 can be found as Praxis kits, and 3 can be awarded from XP.

Mandatory augs

Non-mandatory, but highly useful augs
 * Quicksilver Reflex Booster (Multiple Take-Down): Enables the double takedowns and should be activated as soon as possible.
 * Hacking: Capture (Level 2 + 3 + 4 + 5):  Unlike Deus Ex: Human Revolution, upgrading it doesn't lower the chances of detection.
 * Remote Hacking (Environmental Domination + Security Domination): Enables remote hacking.


 * Glass-Shield Cloaking System: Highly useful for aggressive non-lethal/Ghost playstyle. Some DTDs are very hard to perform without it. Also allows easy hacking, since the energy drain from the cloak stops while you are in the hacking interface.
 * Hacking: Fortify & Stealth: Makes hacking, a major source of XP, go smoother.
 * Hacking: Capture (Turret & Bot domination): Only useful for 2 occasions, but it is a more elegant way of summoning the bot from its niche.

Whittaker's office
There is two way to complete this mission:

a) Confront and persuade Whitlaker. Completing this disables the other option. b) Knock him out and search his office

 * §SOC(1000)

The latter is better XP-wise, but even for option a), you should knock him out and loot the office. There is also a Praxis kit (5/5) in a secret stash. The button to open it is under Whitaker's desk. After this, you can return to the metro station to finish the last objective.
