Does it include pre-order DLC?

[AssaultShaker]

Such as Explosive Mission Pack and Tactical Enhancement Pack? Sorry if repost.

[OdanUrr]

Yes.

6. Is it true that the Director's Cut includes all the DLCs including The Missing Link and the Explosive Mission / Tactical Enhancement? (Posted by CodenameD)

Andrew: It certainly includes The Missing Link, which is now worked into the main game rather than only being playable as an "aside". We didn't ask about the smaller DLCs - Tong's Rescue, Explosive Mission / Tactical Enhancement, etc - but given that this is the "ultimate" version of DXHR, I would strongly expect they'll be in there. (I can confirm that all bonus mission and weapon DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution is included in the Director’s Cut! – Adam)

Cool, thanks!

Most of those DLC items are in the base game, but the DLC gives them to you right away, when you start the game, along with stuffing your pockets with cash. However, there is one weapon, the grenade rifle maybe, that is not possible to acquire without the Explosive Mission Pack. Which is why I would only buy the Explosive Mission Pack for the exclusive weapons there, (which are not just dumped into your inventory at the start, either). I think giving you those things at the start totally breaks the immersion and unbalances the difficulty level designed into the game. So I'd prefer not to have the other weapon DLC, (but I'd still want the extra mission DLC). So anyway, I just hope they found a way to do this without just dumping all that junk in your inventory to begin with because a lot of people hate that and think it makes no sense to have all that stuff to help you, either.

I started a new game and when i got to the Manufacturing Plant mission, i did not get the bonus items and cash as i did in the original game....what to do?

From what i gather if you stealth the first mission (aka the roof route) you get the silenced sniper and you can get the shotgun by going the assault way or just explore and you can find it.

The silenced sniper rifle is located on a dead body on the roof in the first mission. The double-barrel shotgun will show up in vendors from time to time and can occasionally be found in the field. (I found it in one of the new rooms in the Barret fight) I haven't seen the grenade rifle around, though. As for the money...you don't get it. You have to get cash the ol' fashioned way.

Woopsie, I always stealthed the bottom path instead...lulz.

However... let say that it's possible to leave MJ with every item previously "spellcasted" into the inventory, except an AUD, don't search for it, there isn't.

What, the auto-hack devices? They're not in the first mission, but they're all over the place. About as common as the other types. In fact, I've seen more AUDs then frag grenades.

Of course they are scattered around later on, but if I remember correctly you get one with the Explosive Mission Pack early on along with the other stuff and that's the one I'm referring to. If I don't remember exactly is cause I've never used them aside a couple of times just to try, I consider them just a waste of space based on my style, maybe I was searching for nothing ?

I keep them as emergency-use. If I need something hacked, and I'm either under fire, or if I'll be caught if I stand up to hack it.

[McDangerously]

Bothe the silenced rifle andthe double barelled shot gun can be found in the first mission. If you take the roof route you will easily find the rifle. The shotguncan be immediately found hanginf half out of a box if you go through the front door. If you take the roof you can get both the easiest. The auto lock pickers can be found and purchased like they could originaly with the DLC.

I just felt for keeping them as an emergency dunnò in my 1st PT, after that, call me "the 101 saves man" if you like but I feel them as a waste of space based on my playstyle, they definitely complies someone else strategy, though, thus it's a good thing they are scattered around, for instance, when I was in the stealth mood I've always left the boomstick along the muffled snipa on the ground immediately after the comm.

So you never tried to play stealth with the shotgun as your main? An extra challenge would be trying to use the dlc shotgun since you limited far more than the normal one. You just to make sure they don't see you when you use it. Either with blind fire or by crouching and coming in at an angle so that they ain't looking at you & that you get a kill with your first shot.

Nope, never, I see no point in it when the game, if you're not after the max XP, can be stealthed without firing a single bullet and with a completely empty inventory except some typhoon ammo and few energy bars. While I wait the DC to be fixed I think I'm gonna finish my actual PT on the vanilla and then do another run4fun with the heavy from hengsha onwards, though.
