Deus Ex Human Revolution - Lucky Guess Achievement Guide

The guide to a rather insignificant, but extremely easy to miss achievement in Deus Ex Human Revolution - the Lucky Guess achievement.

Lucky Guessing

Lucky Guess is a rather deviously well-hidden achievement in Deus Ex: Human Revolution that can be obtained as a part of the Smash The State side-quest during your second visit of Detroit. At the end of the quest, Jensen will have to disable a gas bomb set by the terrorist Jacob White, which is where this achievement can be unlocked.

How it is done

When doing the Smash The State side quest during your second visit of Detroit, Jensen will be asked to take down the terrorist Jacob White, located in the sewers under the Detroit PD. Once White is dealt with, an objective will pop up requiring Jensen to disable White's gas bomb located near the end of the area.

Now there are quite a few ways to do this, but what you would want to do is call up the bomb's keypad screen and type in 0000 (simplistic much?)

Let's try it again:

That should do it, the achievement will pop up soon after the bomb is disabled.

Final Notes

The screenshots posted up there are quite outdated, as I now play the Director's Cut version and somehow cannot get the screen capturing thing to work properly. I will post a detailed video up here once I finally got the stuff figured out (again).

And yes, before anyone asks, I do play my games with an Xbox controller.

I doubt I'd play THIS game with a controller, but one of the many glories of PC gaming is that we can use what we want, when we want, unless we're playing an old Ubisoft title ...for every other modern game that isn't an old Ubi title like Far Cry 3, one does not even require a menu option toggle. PC gaming is wonderful - there's nothing wrong with using a controller.

Not my first choice for this type of game though... personally.

There's even a bunch of games where I regularly use both input methods simultaneously. (especially space sims) ...
