Desperate Measures

Desperate Measures is a single mission DLC for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. It is only available as a pre-order bonus or through a day-one purchase of the game. Additionally, it is included in the Collector's Edition of Mankind Divided.

Desperate Measures focuses on exposing the mastermind behind the train bombing in Růžička Station. Adam Jensen must travel to the Prague office of Tarvos Security Services to learn the truth about the bombing. "Taking place in Prague, the ‘Desperate Measures’ extra in-game mission has you playing as Adam Jensen, returning to the epicenter of the Růžička train station explosion that recently rattled the city to its very core. With tampered security footage hampering the investigation behind the attack, you must rely on both your augmentations, and skills as a covert operative, in order to unveil the true culprit responsible for the bombing."

Plot
Shortly before Jensen leaves Prague to infiltrate the Útulek Complex, Peter Chang calls him with a new lead on the Růžička train station bombing. He says the footage captured from the bombing has been tampered with, and sends you to meet with a train station employee with more information. After talking to Pavla Keilmanovich in the private back alley on Stur Street, and convincing her she won't be traced back as a whistleblower, she confirms that a Tarvos employee took the footage from the Intellicam server room and bribed her to give him the security code and look the other way. Chang then sends Jensen another hacked metro train to Terminal station so he can investigate the Tarvos security center there. Tarvos employees have the building under lockdown due to a "bomb scare", so Jensen has to sneak or bust his way through the guards to get into the Tarvos offices. As he makes his way through to the command center, Adam and Chang ultimately conclude that Lieutenant Simon Whittaker is in charge there and can give them more information on the coverup, so Jensen sneaks or barges into his office.

After Simon finishes a phone call with his sister, Adam explains that he's with Interpol and that they have evidence someone at Tarvos tampered with security footage. Simon is defensive, non-cooperative, and even hostile depending on the player's actions, so Jensen will have to knock out or kill him so he can investigate his office further. After unlocking the keypad on his wall, opening a secret store room, and then opening a safe within that store room, Jensen will find a pocket secretary containing a conversation with full audio between Whittaker and his sister, Melissa Berk, recorded right after the bombing. Melissa admits that her husband, Ivan Berk, was responsible for planting the fatal bomb, and Simon agrees to take the Intellicam footage of the bombing before the police can access it so they don't come for her. Jensen tells Chang to send him another metro train to take him back to Praha Dovoz, and once he escapes Tarvos and leaves Terminal station on it, he goes back to Chang's office at TF29 HQ to fill him in. Jensen explains that Simon corrupted the footage to protect his sister Melissa. Her husband, Ivan Berk, had recently been recruited into ARC and carried out the bombing, but Jensen deduces he was probably just a pawn in all this who was easily influenced into it by the attack's true mastermind. If the player took a stealth approach, Chang commends Jensen for his quiet work, assuring that Tarvos hasn't reported anything there, and Jensen will conclude the mission by saying "I like to get answers without creating new questions."
