Weapons - Low-Tech


Baton
Base Damage: 7 Base Accuracy: 50%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech  
Best used when striking from behind. Had Deus Ex made an issue of whether you killed someone or rendered them unconscious this weapon would have been more important but when it comes to stealth a one strike take down is important. This makes the crowbar a better choice.


Combat Knife
Base Damage: 5 Base Accuracy: 50%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech  
Great when going for the silent kill. As with using the stealth approach, more damage can be done by sneaking up and striking before you are detected. If you have the space, the crowbar is a better choice.


Throwing Knives
Base Damage: 15 Base Accuracy: 55%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech  
Though you can run out of these, they can do more damage than just the combat knife and they are ranged making it safer to use against targets from a distance.


Crowbar
Base Damage: 6 Base Accuracy: 50%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech  
Many Half-Life players will recall fond memories upon picking up the 'ol head basher. Though it requires two inventory slots, you're more likely to get a one strike take down with this, especially if they don't see it coming.


Sword
Base Damage: 10 Base Accuracy: 50%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech  
Instructions: Point away from face and swing. Sounds simple enough. If you have the room, it does a better job than the crowbar for some of those tough guys who just won't get the hint that they are going down.


Dragon's Tooth Sword
Base Damage: 20
(100 with patch or game of the year edition)
Base Accuracy: 50%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech  
Just like the sword listed above only better. It doesn't empower you with anything like "the force" but it sure does feel good to swing around.


Pepper Gun
Base Damage: N/A Base Accuracy: 65%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech Clip Size: 100 RDS
Rate of Fire: AUTO, 13.3 RDS/SEC Reload Time: 4.0 SEC
Acc. Range: 6 ft. Max. Range: 6 ft.
Ammo Type(s): Pepper Cartridge
Stronger than a breath mint, and far more effective at stopping unpleasent odors dead in their tracks. Spray it on and watch them stop to rub it out of their eyes. Combine this with a baton strike or a 10mm to the head for best effect. Personally, I don't find it as useful as the riot prod however I've heard you can use it to bypass security beams. You spray the lower beam near its contact with the wall and crouch/walk past it. I have as yet to ever make this work but others have so I'm mentioning it here.


Riot Prod
Base Damage: 15 Base Accuracy: 75%
Skill: Weapons: Low-Tech Clip Size: 4 RDS
Rate of Fire: SINGLE, 1.0 RDS/SEC Reload Time: 3 SEC
Acc. Range: 5 ft. Max. Range: 5 ft.
Ammo Type(s): Prod Charger
Like pepper spray the riot prod can immobilize your target for a safe take down with a baton or pistol. However, an added bonus of the riot prod is its ability to also take down a target by using it twice, or once if they don't see it coming.
