The GEP Gun takedown and why its the best Takedown

As we all know the game has the GEP gun but most people dont know it's the best takedown or was a takedown to begin with. As such I have taken the Liberty in explaining why it is the best takedown Possible in Deus Ex

The Main Raisins

1: It is the only weapon in the game that can convert Pineapples and Gangsters into ammunition
2: It is given to you by Paul who is a super sexy american action hero
3: It is more silent then a leaf falling down in the eve of Fall
4: It can ignite people, handy when wanting to roast a marshmellow while on the field
5: It is the only way to silently eliminate Manderly who is actualy the secret final boss (Bob page was a Cover up by the Government)
6: The NSF recently gave GEP guns to old people in New york so that they can fight the law, which means using the GEP gun is also respecting your elders
7: It's Family Friendly
8: Jesus Approved

Comparisons with other "silent takedowns"

The Minicrossbow: First of all as we all know Terrorists do not think like normal humans, for example what we think are loud explosions is to them a soothing piece of Classical music that make people explode and they are but so nice to share it with everyone, so therefore every Terrorist would hear a dart from 1000.9857 miles away even through walls, which makes the GEP gun Ideal for handling UNATCO operations and/or bartering with a Vaccum Cleaner. Boy what Constant Explosions do to people.

The PROD: This Blue Thing is just Loud as anything when you knock somebody out, not only do Everyone and their GEP gun Wielding Grandmother's hear it but so do Birds who secretly work for Morgan Everett Tracer Tong Chad Dumier That one Homeless Kid in Battery Park, so Would you rather have some loud obnoxious Blue thing or an Amazing Tool capable of Silent Mass Destruction, Your Choice America(not including Northwest or West Coast).

The "Stealth" Pistol: Now I know what you'e thinking "But Dementer it has Stealth in it's name surely that would be the most Stealthy option." WRONG it is merely a cover-up by the government just like they faked the sky being ♥♥♥♥ Brown and the sun being Hot pink. So please as soon as you get this from General whats his face, I recommend you toss it somewhere behind an Augmented Dumpster, for the Children.

The LAW Rocket: Now this is pretty much the GEP gun with all its attributes except with one fatal flaw it can only fire once but then disappears and becomes one with the force, now if you're on a low budget (and also happen to be Hobo) for silent takedowns and cant afford a GEP gun then why dont you try getting a job this weapon is for you. But I will warn you in advance you will have a VERY short career.

How to Perform the hidden art of the GEP Gun Takedown

Now you may be wondering, well geez I have no idea how to use this darn thing let alone how to aim, as for aiming I would recommend using the Infinite Power of Nano-Augmentation to do the aiming for you but if you're for some reason a Mech with a floppy disk with Windows 27 then Honestly you should probably find a different line of work that doesnt involve shooting everything in sight being a World Police Nano-Augmented Stealth Cop/Agent/Seconday/Self-Made God.

Anyway back to the point at hand now that i've scared away all the poser wanabe mechies. First to use the takedown you must obviously acquire it somehow, now this can be done by simply asking Paul Denton; your brother. Now for some reason the Developers thought it be a great idea to make invisible war to give you the weapon when you first start the game and it is crucial that you pick the GEP Gun because GEP is love, GEP is life why would you be reading this guide if it wasnt the case?

Once you get it you may also be thinking,You: "but theres only 4 rockets, what am i supposed to do with 4 rockets?". Yeah well its a stealth weapon not a lets neutralize everyone then buy a Cat for 250 weapon. Now onto to using it finally;First you must aim like this at a desired Target and or Personally Selected Person Available for Delivered Punishment.

Now you must wait for the Targeting Reticle to be properly in sync, once it has finished you must Wait for it..............Wait for it................Wait for it......................................
ok shoot

Now once the Projectile impacts your desired target and or Personally Selected Person Available for Delivered Punishment you will notice the two blue circles leaving the body, you may be asking; "oh my what are those?" well those are long term frequency calming arrays that will tell near by enemies to say Oh must of been the Winds of Fall. You will also notice the pure amazement that this person did not see a flying smoking projectile aproaching his personal space bubble in the time required to react to such an event while he is being knocked to the ground as you can see below.

As you can see the alarm has not been sounded, everything is calm, all is right with the world except for the metaphorically endless night, oh and that Gray thing or whatever it's called.


Now as you go to do with what you will with the body of said Target you will notice no Physical symptoms of harm just his hand on his Stomach in a pool of his own blood. This will lead to enemies believing he just had the runs from eating too many Bean Burritos on Mexican Monday and that we should just leave him to rest. This is self-evident that you are not only Ultra-Stealthy but a Master Manipulator who is able to change peoples minds about this one guy who never attends Mexican Monday but for some reason completly accepts that he ate all the Bean Burritos and Churros.


And well thats Pretty much it for how to use the takedown but now you may be wondering "oh but I want to use it upclose to be more edgy "Stealthy". As such I have provided what I think what most of your encounters may look like if you decide to proceed with this tactic.
But Only attempt if you have the right skill and the brains and if you somehow manage to pull it off, then Congratulations OP Bonus is still the same.

Epilogue: TL;DR Thanks for the Fish

It's been a while since I've touched my only meaningful contribution to the steam community and I have to say the guide has outperformed my Expectations in both scope and effect but with all that said, this guide is not my own anymore, the same boy who wrote this guide would not recognize the man who claims it today, it was lightning in a bottle and I don't think I could ever capture it again, but really, I just wanted to say thanks for viewing it, hope you got a chuckle or two (and also giving me points, you guys are the real Sexy American Action Heroes).

For Deus Ex 1 in particular (since we're on a thread for this), one tip is to always have the basic pistol. It's a good allround weapon made better by upgrades. Even if you go for nonlethal and never use it, you should have it just so you don't constantly pick it up when you loot a new dead body.
Other than that, don't bother with any weapon of types you're not skilled with except for some specific late game weapons like that one sword or indeed the GEP gun.

@al64inthedark
There is no real "guide" for that. The inventory limitation creates capacity scarcity - the more large weapons you carry, the less space you have for ammunition and other supplies, so it's a kind of "pick and choose" situation where you need to ask yourself: which weapon do you really WANT to use, what do you NEED to use?
Do you absolutely NEED that shotgun or that sniper rifle? Can you afford to carry both? Go with weapons that cover multiple roles or those that cover ONE role really well and you KNOW will be used frequently because of that. Toss niche weapons or those you don't have enough ammo for. Always leave room for supplies. Upgrade your inventory or use storage spaces when the game gives you the option. That is all.

I need a guide to explain me how to play games with inventory like RE4 or the Deus Exs and carry those huge weapons.
I never have place for that.

What do you need to finish the mission? Just 8 hours and a GEP gun.
