Shot (damage type)

Shot is the most common damage type in Deus Ex. Shot damage is caused by many weapons, including firearms, lethal melee weapons, and certain types of darts. "Shot" is an internal name that only appears in game files.

For the player only, the amount of shot damage that is received depends on the difficulty level.
