Gas grenade (DX)

Gas Grenades are throwable weapons in Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Gas Grenades are a non-lethal throwing weapon capable of stunning large groups of enemies, who become locked in the "rubbing eyes" animation as long as the gas remains in effect. Stunned enemies can be indiscriminately shot in the head or tranquilized. Do note that enemies can become "un-stunned" for a short period after being hit, which might allow them to fire a few shots back or even run away from the gas cloud. This is rare, hovewer.

The gas will damage you if you stand in it, but you will not become disabled in any way and the damage is minor, so when you're in trouble you can always throw a gas grenade at your feet and run away.

In-game Description
Upon detonation, the gas grenade releases a large amount of CS (A military-grade 'tear gas' agent) over its area of effect. CS will causes irritation to all exposed mucous membranes leading to temporary blindness and uncontrolled coughing. Like a LAM, gas grenades can be attached to any surface.

Gas grenades appear in all 3 Deus Ex games. For information on grenades in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, see Gas Grenade (DX3).
