Secret weapon thread! *SPOILERS*

[Frraksurred]

OK, I was just wondering what "secret" weapons y'all have found and where?

So far all I've found is:

spoiler:

In Seatle, in the lower slum area where the guy and girl are always talking about a bot to clean the bots...under the grate where the pipes and over grown lizards are, there is a dead Omar laying on what looks like a normal pistol, only it says "Red Greasel Hunter" when you point at it. It has a infrared light instead of a flashlight and it shots considerably faster when the light is on.

I understand there is also a:

spoiler:

"Toxic Sword" in Emerald Heights and a "Skull Gun" in UNATCO, though I have not personally found them yet.

I'd appreciate any further info about these or any other "Secret Weapons".

Please be sure to use the "spoiler" button (next to Quote) when posting your spoilers.

spoiler:

There is an ASSASSIN'S PISTOL in the abandoned upper area of the bar in Trier. Look under a piece of wood, it is with a bunch of other items in one of the alcoves of the room.

[Frraksurred]

One more from "Need4speed" on the Ion Srorm forums:

spoiler:

A Hellfire Bowcaster in Cairo in the greenhouse. As you enter the greenhouse area, in the courtyard, look up and jump until you reach highest balcony.

Haven't checked this one out yet either, but had to post it.

[Red Greasel Hunter]

spoiler:

although i do not understand why this is needed as the title has a warning in it, what the hell :-) . theres the red greasel hunter below lower seattle, widow maker smg in cairo the second time, and the Dragon Tooth Sword (which has the electro sword image in this one, not the original image) in the first of JC's Memorys is antartica.

[Frraksurred]

Hmmm, I saw the WM SMG in the DXTools resources. I've been looking high and low for it. I'm on my 2nd trip through the game and just left Trier for the remodeled Templar temple. I'll be heading to Cairo again soon. Where in Cairo is it?

[operative x]

can you guys post some pics of these secret wapons? Sounds interesting to see them. And i doubt poeple wont mind about the spoilers because the main thread already warns them so go ahead and do it!

[Grazhopp]

The WM SubMG is on the lower levels of Cairo. In the long tunnel that leads to the nanomachine lab theres a power box you can hack. Then once the powers off you can go through the little hole in the wall to the left. Follow that hallway and you'll enter a small storage room and find the gun.

[lordrashmi]

Sadly the secret weapons use the exact same models as normal weapons.

[jimicapone]

The Assassin's Blade (or Toxic Blade, forget which right now) is under the bed pillow in the assassin's room of the first floor of the Emerald.

[Frraksurred]

I actually found all but one of these my first time through the game but didn't realize it. I never paid any attention to their names, I just noticed they looked the same as what I already had and blew them off. Pays to "pay" attention, huh.

Well so far we have 7 secret weapons. Thanks for the additional details on their whereabouts, btw. I'm curious just how many there are. I'd love to find a modified sniper rifle or mag rail. Haven't found any secret versions of them yet. The grenade launcher is rather wimpy in it's stock form as well, but since you don't get it untill near the end of the game, I doubt there's a special version of it. I'll have to keep my eyes open this time through.

[Frraksurred]

According to this thread the official guide only lists 6 "unique weapons" and we've covered them all here. The only one not listed was the "skull gun" supposedly in UNATCO. I can't comment because I picked up that tidbit from another forum, and it gave no further details.

For a full list of details on each weapon, check out the link above. I believe the second or third page contains all the info the "guide" had on each weapon.

Thanks all who contributed to this thread, wish there were more to cover.

the 'skul gun' was for gunther herrman in DX1 i beleive. if it exists. it might be an easter egg someone slipped in, would be rather humorous.

In an email in the first game Gunther was complaining to his boss that he could not get his gun out fast enough when thugs attacked him and requested a new mechanical augmentation, a skull gun

[nkmutant]

There is no skull gun, but there is a humorous little datacude in the last level regarding it. I have found all 6 weapons, they are the Toxin Blade, the Red Greasel Hunter, the Hellfire Boltcaster, the Widowmaker SMG, the Assasin Pistol, and the Dragon's Tooth Sword. All there locations are in another thread i made.

[Daedalus82]

This Hellfire boltcaster... I read it does fire damage. I guess that means it's lethal right? I'm going totally no-killing so that would be a bummer.

[friedcook]

spoiler:

I found the Assasin Gun in Trier. In the abandonned bar where you find the Omar. It is currently my favorite gun.

I also found the:

spoiler:

Red Greasel Gun. That one was relativly easy to find I just didn't want to pick it up.

[moosehead115]

i'm not sure but maybe it would be handy when you ran into a red greasel? maybe the red light has some sort of effect on them, like maybe it thinks your one of them, or confuses it or something... ?

[Zodaurain]

Just to let everybody know that the "Skull Gun" isn't a secret weapon...

spoiler:

It's an Augmentation!

It's an infra red light, meaning it's invisible and doesn't give away your position. Also, I was told it fires faster when you have the light on. I haven't tested that one though.

Hellfire boltcaster = godlike

There is nothing like setting people on fire and watching them run around in this game, add the damage mod, and the ammo scavenger and the weapon will often kill someone in 1-2 shots.

Also

spoiler:

the Assassian's Pistol has NO muzzle flash, whatsoever. And, it fires a lot faster than the regular pistol or the Red Greasel Hunter

[TheCrazyLoader]

spoiler:

[Haethurn]

The Toxin blade has to be the best secret weapon. I can't tell you how many times it helped me dispatch an enemy quickly and easily.

[Ned]

That Dragon's Tooth Sword is extremely powerful. It takes out everything in one blow - so watch out for things that blow up.

[PhrozenHart]

People, if you want to find out exactly where the secret weapons are, then go to www.gamefaqs.com and search for Deus Ex:IW

I have noticed that both the normal pistol and the red greasel killer both fire faster with the light on.

Why? I don't know, I just know it does.

I am guessing the assasin pistol does the same, however I have not bothered to pick it up, I have seen it.

The Red Greasel pistol does fire faster than the normal pistol.
