Weapon Modification (Laser) is a weapon modification in Deus Ex that adds a laser sight to a compatible weapon. Once the modification has been installed, the laser sight must be manually turned on each time the weapon is drawn.
Description[]
Effects[]
Attaching a laser modification to a compatible weapon enables the laser sight to be activated.
When activated, the laser sight provides perfect accuracy for compatible hitscan weapons (i.e., pistol, stealth pistol, assault rifle (when using 7.62mm ammo), and sniper rifle), regardless of weapon skill and the actual accuracy rating of the weapon. For this reason, the laser sight can serve as a substitute for the accuracy modification and can be used to obtain perfect accuracy without spending skill points in weapon skills.
However, if the weapon is a pistol or stealth pistol that also has the scope modification installed, the scope modification will fully negate the accuracy benefit provided by the laser sight when the weapon is used outside of scope mode. The sniper rifle, which uses a built-in scope rather than the scope modification, does not suffer from this deficiency, and will always have perfect accuracy when hip firing with the laser sight turned on.
The laser sight does not affect the accuracy of projectile weapons (i.e., mini-crossbow and plasma rifle).
