Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (2011)

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a 2011 video game developed by Eidos Interactive and published by Square-Enix. The third game in the Deus Ex series, it is a prequel to the original, and is set in the year 2027 as controversial "human augmentation" technology begins to become widely available. Players take on the role of former SWAT officer turned private security guard Adam Jensen, who is horribly maimed during an attack on his employers, augmentation company Sarif Industries, by mysterious terrorists. Saved from death and rebuilt with his company's technology, he begins to search for answers as to who attacked that night and why.

The following weapons can be seen in the game Deus Ex: Human Revolution:

Overview

The game features a grid inventory into which any number of weapons which will physically fit can be placed, with a quick-access wheel (console) or bar (PC) allowing selection between weapons. Many of the game's weapons are clearly fictional, including a variety of energy guns, and others are "futurised" modern weapons or hybrid frankenguns. Totally real weapons are limited to being shown incidentally; in photographs, on book covers and suchlike.

The game features a weapon modification system where guns can have generic upgrades for magazine size, reload speed, fire rate and damage added, as well as up to three special upgrades such as suppressors or laser aiming units. The latter type tend to physically alter the weapon model, while the former typically do not.

Usable Weapons

Huntsman Silverback

The Huntsman Silverback is a break-action double barreled shotgun that appears only in the "Augmented" (Limited) Edition of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The shotgun is automatically obtained after the second level, and is also available for purchase in case Jensen drops or sells it.

The Huntsman Silverback offers devastating damage at close range. Both barrels can be fired simultaneously. This weapon cannot be modified.

AIG Asymmetric Warrior ASW338LM

The Longsword ERSR (Extreme Range Sniper Rifle) is a bolt-action sniper rifle with a built-in suppressor. It is available only in the "Augmented" edition of the game. The weapon seems to be based on the AIG Asymmetric Warrior ASW338LM, but lacks the folding stock and has what appears to be a gas tube under the barrel; rather an odd feature for a bolt-action weapon. In the game's fiction it is manufactured by a company called Steiner-Bisley.

Jensen reloads the sniper rifle. Unlike the "Zenith" pistol, this weapon has only one reload animation, which means that the bolt is always pulled back before reloads, even if there were some unfired rounds.

SRM Arms Model 1208

The Widowmaker TX is a 12-gauge semi-automatic combat shotgun. It is manufactured by Military Arms of Ostrava (MAO) - a fictional firearms manufacturer company in the Czech Republic. It appears to be based on the SRM Arms Model 1208 semi-automatic shotgun with a folding foregrip added. It should be noted that this weapon was also added to the game Team Fortress 2 as part of an update intended to promote the Deus Ex launch.

This fictional version of the Model 1208 features a rather boxy polymer handguard reminiscent of the FN SCAR, and the front of the magazine is secured using a hinged section to which the front grip is attached.
