Thug (ThugMale2)

Thugs are a class of NPCs in Deus Ex.

Variants
Three thug variants are seen in-game. Each variant has the same in-game appearance.


 * The common thug variant wear a blue outfit. This variant is commonly seen alongside NSF forces and is the only type of thug that is present in large numbers as a generic enemy type.
 * A jacketed variant wears a dark jacket over an outfit with a red vertical line. This variant includes Johnny and El Rey. An unnamed thug of this type may appear during the third visit to Hell's Kitchen.
 * A third variant is depicted as having a heavy build along with mechanically augmentations. Rock and Guy are the sole examples of this variant. This variant does not appear as generic unnamed characters.

Characteristics
Thugs generally have a combat proficiency that is somewhere between civilians and combatant-type characters. For example, thugs will sometimes crouch in combat, but will do less frequently than combatant-type characters. Thugs also have have a maximum weapon range of 43.75 feet, lower than that of combatant-type characters (62.5 feet), but higher than that of civilians.

All three thug variants have similar default gameplay attributes, differing only in ground speed and default inventory. The default inventory of the common variant includes a pistol and a crowbar.

Locations

 * Common thugs are first seen on Liberty Island during the first mission, fighting on the side of NSF forces. They are labeled in-game as "mercenary thug." Compared to the regular NSF forces (i.e., terrorists), the mercenary thugs on Liberty Island have greater durability (100 HP rather than 75%), but lower weapon accuracy (having a -30% accuracy modifier, rather than a -10% modifier).
 * Common thugs labeled as "NSF thugs" are later seen intimidating a bum at the basketball court in Hell's Kitchen.
 * Later, in Brooklyn Bridge Station, common thugs labeled as "gang members" appear as members of the Rooks gang led by El Rey.
