Why shouldn't I always get the GEP gun from Paul?

>>717794454 (OP)
It uses 8 inventory spaces.
It is honestly the only real downside.

>>717794454 (OP)
You should, if only for it's door-opening potential.

There are other ways to deal with mecha that it is not worth the room in the inventory to keep the gep gun

Depends on whether you're gonna be using it as a door opening tool in the future because it's an insanely high inventory space requirement

Everything else listed can be looted on-site even in that first mission iirc

>>717794496
This. I get that the GEP Gun is the best item you can get from Paul but the thing is so big I always end up just dumping it somewhere. And if I need an explosive lockpick like that there's LAMs

Paul, UNATCO hurt my weenie :(

>>717794454 (OP)
Because you haven't played the tutorial and don't know what the hell is a GEP gun.

I'm pretty sure you can get the crossbow and sniper in Liberty Island, making the whole choice kinda funny. My memory might be slightly wrong on that, but you can definitely get both during New York pretty early on. The fact that the GEP gun is so versatile and powerful for the whole game and you get it right away is sure interesting. I guess you could just not take it to challenge yourself. If they ever do a dreaded remake of DX I wish they would at least have more weapons and items throughout the entire runtime.

>>717794897
"Heavy armor" clues you in that it's explosive.

>>717794454 (OP)
I have maybe only used the GEP gun once or twice every playthrough and that was because I pussy out with using a LAM.

>>717794454 (OP)
Sniper ammo isn't common on Liberty Island so getting a few more bullets from Paul might be useful, either that or you are doing a challenge run where you only use specific weapons.

>>717794496
Technically you get enough lams to do the job, but sabot rounds not doing anything makes the gep pretty much critical.

>>717794454 (OP)
You should. It's the best way to guarantee a silent takedown

I finally found him. The modern audience.

>>717795160
I genuinely expected it to be some EMP type weapon before I first got it because they talked about using it for robots.

>>717795160
Could be armor piercing

>>717796456
The only thing the PS2 version does better is the intro cinematic

https://youtu.be/qJegc9eEG8M?feature=shared

Not as memorable but better crafted

>>717796534
t. Has to pick between big and small guns
t. Has to drop his GEP gun in a corner of the map and remember it's there if he needs it later
t. Has to remember CODES, meanwhile ps2 CHADS use the free brain memory to fantasize about Manderley's assistant ( forgot her name I'm not out of memory I only forgot because I can afford it it wasn't done out of convenience )

>>717796456
PS2 version is ultracasual since it gets rid of bodypart specific damage

Paul...
I... I...
I thought you were a GEP gun

>>717794454 (OP)
Because you haven't played the game and didn't spoil it by watching youtube videos.

t. picked sniper and had mind blown when I replayed and discovered Paul offered you a rocket launcher in the first 10 seconds

>>717795160
I thought it was going to be a shotgun

>>717797027
Oh yeah I forgot how blacked pc cu_cks crawl around hampered by wounds after getting hurt when we on chadstation 2 can just go hopping around like bunnies no matter how many bullets we tank.

>>717794454 (OP)
I'm playing this now and I didn't know. I chose sniper rifle. I got one now for opening stuff. I used one in the helibase to take out 4 guys at once, holy shit. Too bad it takes a lot of space though.

>>717797190
>runs out of shells in 8.023 seconds

>>717798186
TC difficulty has no ammo cap

>>717797190
>So anyway, I started blasting

>>717797190
How is he reloading them?

>>717800120
Very carefully

>>717800120
Break action to eject, twirls the shotgun and uses momentum to catch new shells

>>717794454 (OP)
prod with the prod

I'm gonna say it.
The Malkavian mod was never funny.

>>717795029
Nah, you're correct. Unless you have absolutely no intention of using the GEP the entire game, it's always the better choice since the other weapons are lootable shortly afterward. If you decide you don't want it later, you can always toss it then.
I don't really know what more you would want to add weapon/item wise though. Taking weapon mods into account, there's really almost an excess of them as it is for what's in the game to do. I'm pretty sure I've never played through it and thought to myself "gosh I wish I had something else for this instead of this assault rifle, pistol, sniper, crossbow, sword, GEP, plasma gun, both shotguns, flamethrower, or these various grenades..."
I guess you had some unique weapon cases like in IW, where you had the incendiary caster instead of poison, but adopting flare darts setting people on fire like in the mods would be fine for that.

>>717800358
Individual bits of it are funny but as a whole it's not that funny

>>717796456
>play PS2 version
I'm supposed to take you seriously after this?

Always take the gep gun. You get a free crossbow and a sniper literally 60 seconds later when you kill the first few enemies, there's 0 reason not to take the gep gun.

>>717800120
I won’t waste my time trying to explain the loading mechanism to you -- your primitive mind could never grasp its complex nature.

>>717794496
What else am I gonna use the inventory space for. More electric cells and tools I don't need?

>>717794454 (OP)
Because I like to make a silent takedown

>>717800358
If you go in and go in and go in and go in and expect the peak of comedy then you'll be disappointed but it's not that bad.

>>717800792
takes up a massive amount of inventory space, is annoying to use until you get some heavy weapon skill, and there's not much that demands it at the beginning of the game.

>>717796456
Commendable bait

>>717794454 (OP)
Maybe you want to go a bit louder

>>717801916
Then just shoot the bot with it and drop it, now you have the sniper and crossbow anyways. Even if you pick up everything on liberty island you won't run out of inventory space and frankly if you can't make room for it until hong kong you're a noob.

It opens doors so I'm always going to grab it

>>717802737
Can't you just lockpick them?

I like to pick my nose

>>717794454 (OP)
>guied missiles (unlike the NPC's GEPs)
>door opener
>robot deleter
>fire rockets
LAMs can almost do all of that

>>717802879
Maybe you should pick your nose...in a body bag.

>>717800358
Real Chad Dumiers play The Nameless Mod

>>717804357
what a fag

>>717794454 (OP)
Using the GEP Gun as a lockpick in every run is boring.

>>717794496
It's the start of the game. My inventory's almost empty anyways.

>>717801097
hi durandal

>>717798186
Yeah but it's a really fun 8.023 seconds.

>>717800358
You are wrong.

>>717802827
yeah but I never seem to have enough

>>717804184
LAMs are about as rare as GEP rockets, especially if you don't have the money for them the few times you can buy them
Carrying around both is the only way to not run out of both

>>717800358
Maybe you should try getting a job

>>717794454 (OP)
You should, if only so you can take down the mech. I don't normally keep it though.

>>717804357
Nameless Mod is great. I really need to give the new version a try.

>>717811149
OK. Where? cause im trying man this fucking job market

>>717812913
I'm there with you man

>>717804357
I'm waiting for the newest version before I continue playing. They put in some cool shit and I appear as the voice of a very minor NPC

Challenge. That's it.

Ive done playthroughs with each weapon type.

They all kick ass with mods and headshots on realistic.

Like 20 playthroughs

The crossbow is the only fun weapon because it doesn't hitscan.

>>717796456
aside from the fact that the already abstract cities are reduced to abstract Deus Ex 2 levels.
A curious factoid is that they merged the Versalife lobby into the PS2 hong kong map so the Versalife theme goes unused on PS2.

It was a mixed bag but it caused them to make Dx 2 for the Xbox.

>>717811523
>>717813280
Did the new version update the genders for the relevant characters?

Can somebody explain to me why they added the Gep Gun and that ATS rocket launcher into the game? They're basically the same weapon except the rocket launcher is a one shot one use type thing, so it becomes objectively inferior to the gepgun.
What was the thought process here?
