Track Vasili Sevchenko's GPL

Chapter 13 - Fallen Soldiers Determined to locate Sarif's scientists, Jensen tracked down Isaias Sandoval, personal assistant to America's most outspoken augmentation opponent. Sandoval admitted to operating on the scientists in hopes of disablind their implanted tracking devices, but refused to implicated his boss, Bill Taggart. Pritchard then traced one of the scientists' signals back to China, sending Jensen and Malik scrambling to find him. Unfortunately, the conspirators were still one step ahead...

M2 - Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device is a mission in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Introduction
On Jensen's second insertion into Hengsha Island, he is tasked with finding Sevchenko's GPL device. Finding him may lead to answers on Megan's team and her location.

Escape the construction site
As soon as the mission starts all hell breaks loose. Malik has crashed and is being assaulted by heavily armed guards. You can sneak around them and get to the elevator in the back in which case Malik will die. You can also attempt to kill all of the guards before they destroy Malik's VTOL. It is difficult, but it can be done. A sniper rifle and a 10mm pistol will suffice (with Damage and Rate of Fire upgrades as well as Armor-Piercing System, Laser Targeting System and Silencer). You will need something stronger like EMP grenades, 2 Heavy Damage Typhoons or rockets do deal with the 80-X Boxguard swiftly. Headshotting and shooting explosive barrels is the fastest way to get rid of the men. Once you've made it out of the area and into the elevator you will have a brief dialogue with Pritchard and then it's on to the next objective.

Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device
Make your way to the Youzhao district, being discreet and not alarming the Belltower guards. Head near Pangzhao road (needs clarification) and find a way to enter the location marked on the map.

You can either:


 * 1) Take the subway. This is possibly both the easiest and shortest way since you will only have to dodge one guard in front of the limb-clinic and can then proceed freely over the rooftops.
 * 2) Enter from the main entrance that is heavily guarded
 * 3) Look for a manhole in the surrounding vicinity and enter through the sewers
 * 4) Enter through a ventilation duct on the roof.

After you make your way in, you will find Tong Si Hung getting his new arm fixed by his Harvester boys.

Get a new biochip at the LIMB clinic
The consequence of getting the new chip is the temporary loss of augmentations and the HUD during the later fight with Namir.

Tactical suggestions to save Malik
One way to save her is to use a Diamond Back .357 upgraded with frag rounds and an extended magazine, if the player has one - it can fire fairly quickly, kill normal Belltower guards in one hit, and even kill the M404-wielding heavies if shot directly twice. The Heavies are the primary targets, as they can inflict the most damage to Faridah, and most of the light soldiers are crowded around several explosive barrels. The snipers do not pose much of a threat, and can be taken out with any weapon, and the 80-X can be finished of somewhat quickly with an EMP grenade, an MPRS rocket or even 2-3 Diamondback magazines if the player has frag rounds.

Another strategy is to use the sniper rifle from the platform Jensen begins the battle on. He can get a few "free kills" this way, but may need to jump down to draw enemy fire or get a clearer line of sight to the heavies or the bot, once it is airdropped in. It takes two rockets from the rocket launcher to destroy, so be sure to wait behind cover for Jensen to reload after firing the first.

It's also possible to save her while staying a pacifist, by simply activating cloak mode (preferably for a longer time span) and running around, stunning every attacker, preferably starting with the heavy weapons guys and ignoring the snipers until everyone else is finished. This way is surprisingly easy on normal difficulty, as cloak mode is very powerful - attacking doesn't make you visible and enemies only shoot your last known position (so keep moving after stunning someone). If you decide to dispose of the bot using Typhoon augmentation, you must pay attention so that stunned enemies aren't caught within the blast radius (it is best to activate Typhoon standing between aircraft and the robot). When bot is critically damaged it will self-destruct so it may be needed to drag one or two soldiers (usually the heavy trooper advancing towards aircraft) back.
