Weapon modifications (DX)

In Deus Ex, seven different weapon modifications are available. Each one either improves a weapon's attribute or adds an extra feature to the weapon. Each weapon is limited to a maximum of five upgrades per attribute. Not every modification is compatible with each weapon - as showed here.

Accuracy

When clamped to the frame of most projectile weapons, a harmonic balancer dampens the vertical motion produced by firing a projectile, resulting in increased accuracy. Each upgrade improves the base accuracy by 10%.

	"Almost any weapon can be modified with a balancer; I've even seen it work with the mini-crossbow and a prototype plasma gun."

Clip

A magazine extension that increases clip capacity beyond the factory default.

Laser

A laser targeting dot eliminates any inaccuracy resulting from the inability to visually gauge a projectile's point of impact.

There is a well known bug(though based on the description this might be deliberate) which makes all weapons equipped with the laser 100% accurate. Hovewer, attaching the Scope modification to the same weapon, either before or after attaching the Laser, will remove the accuracy effects of the Laser.

Range

By lubricating the firing path with synthetic synovial fluid, the drag on fired projectiles is reduced with a consequent increase in range. Each upgrade improves range by 10%.

	"Coating the primary valve system of a flamethrower or plasma gun in synovial lubricant and then over-pressuring the delivery system will also result in an increase in range. Little trick I learned during field testing."

Recoil

A stock cushioned with polycellular shock absorbing material will significantly reduce perceived recoil. Each upgrade reduces the base recoil by 10%.

Reload

A speed loader greatly decreases the time required to reload a weapon. Each upgrade reduces reload time by 10%.

Silencer

Description: A silencer will muffle the muzzle crack caused by rapidly expanding gases left in the wake of a bullet leaving the gun barrel.

	"Obviously, a silencer is only effective with firearms."
