Typhoon (DXMD)

Typhoon returns as an augmentation in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Unlike the original version in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, this version has an option to be set to non-lethal, allowing pacifist players to use it, and also no longer consumes energy when fired. Another change is that ammunition is now both rare and expensive.

Description
The Typhoon Explosive System is a series of interlinked and electromagnetic launchers installed throughout the body and connected to a target processor installed at the base of the user's spine.

When activated, the launchers simultaneously eject a volley of liquid crystal elastomer projectiles in a targeted 360-degree arc. The projectiles can be configured either to a lethal explosive or a non-lethal concussive blast.

Unleash a 360-degree burst of projectiles, hitting everything within 7 meters from Adam, except targets behind terrain or unbreakable objects. Adam is invulnerable during the triggering animation and a slight duration afterwards. Requires special ammunition.
 * Activation cost: 2 Praxis
 * Activation: manual
 * Energy consumption: ammo (typhoon ammo)

Munition Loadout Selection
While the Typhoon can be armed with lethal or non-lethal rounds, only one configuration can be integrated into the user's system.

This selection can only be made once.

Determines the type of ballistics the Typhoon can fire.

Stun Configuration
''The liquid crystal elastomer projectiles vaporize on firing, emitting a wave of concussive-stunning gas. The resulting gas cloud incapacitates organic targets without killing them.''

NOTE: Once you have selected the Stun Configuration, the Lethal Configuration will no longer be available.

Rig the Typhoon to emit a non-lethal, stunning blast. This mode essentially works as a short-ranged, longer-lasting gas grenade. Has no effect on mechanical targets. Additionally, many augmented enemies have rebreathers (many Shadow Operatives), closed helmets, or the implanted rebreather augmentation (common among ARC soldiers, and used by heavy Shadow Operative troopers, as well as some snipers) that will negate the effect of the gas.
 * Upgrade requirement: Typhoon
 * Activation cost: N/A
 * Activation: manual
 * Energy consumption: ammo (typhoon ammo)

Lethal Configuration
The liquid crystal elastomer projectiles are filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate, causing them to explode and inflict maximum damage.

NOTE: Once you have selected the Lethal Configuration, the Stun Configuration will no longer be available.

Rig the Typhoon to deliver lethal damage. Damage will be applied, and split, between any eligible target within range 7 meters from Adam. Heavier types of Shadow Operatives, EXO-suits, and mechanical targets are some of the only enemies that can withstand repeated typhoon blasts. The typhoon can also be used as an energyless alternative to the "punch through walls" augmentation.

Background
After the Aug Incident, TYM purchased the failing Sarif Industries, including their patent for the Typhoon. Several Typhoon prototypes (among other prototype military augs designed by Sarif Industries) remained at the manufacturing plant and were stolen by members of the Motor City Bangers (MCB). Adam Jensen, with forced assistance by members of Task Force 29, managed to stop the MCB members from sending the augments off to be sold on the black market. Later, a clandestine team working for the Illuminati attempted to steal them while they were being transported via train by TF29. Jensen, once again with help from TF29, managed to crash the train and destroy the prototypes, preventing their capture and distribution. By 2028, a non-lethal variation that dissolves the liquid crystal elastomer into a powerful tranquilizing gas and explodes with non-lethal force, had been developed and installed into Jensen (allowing him to choose between the lethal or non-lethal versions).
