![]() In a beta screenshot, however, the slide of the pistol is colored in the standard grey-white, albeit somewhat modified from the original version with the most prominent change being the large model name "Zenith" taking the place of the Steiner-Bisley logo.As shown in the reveal trailer, the Zenith sports a shiny anodized black finish in Mankind Divided, as opposed to Human Revolution's matte grey.When fitted with the Armor Piercing Rounds mod, the Zenith actually deals less damage to unarmored targets, so it depends largely on the player's preference when it comes to attaching this mod or not.The Zenith pistol has excellent handling characteristics, which facilitates headshots with.Pistols are typically limited to lower-level enemies such as street thugs, security personnel and lightly armored soldiers. The pistol is one of the most common weapons in enemy hands, and is not particularly threatening when used by them while no enemy should be underestimated, the player will only really find themselves in trouble if they are surrounded by several enemies with these weapons. Ammunition stacks are 2x1, with each stack holding up to 50 rounds. Because of this, one might upgrade it with the armor-piercing, silencer, and laser sight mods, and reserve the other upgrades for alternative weapons. Most non-boss human opponents will be killed with a single headshot from a Zenith with the armor-piercing upgrade, even without any damage upgrades heavy troopers will take two. The armor-piercing upgrade ignores all armor bonuses, meaning headshots from the pistol are exceptionally lethal and as such, should be considered even by Pacifists (for bosses). A silenced Zenith is a useful tool even for pacifists, as it may be used to lure enemies into locations away from their patrol path so that they can be disposed of discretely when a shot is fired, enemies will investigate by walking to where the shot hit. ![]() The silencer and laser sight, along with the aforesaid upgrade capacity, also make it a surprisingly good main weapon for a non-pacifist player who wishes to be stealthy, though it is not suitable for full-scale combat situations unless (almost) fully upgraded. It is in extremely common use, so ammo will never be an issue, and its penchant for taking upgrades means it can eventually be a formidable backup weapon. The Zenith features orange tritium-illuminated iron sights. The magazine holds only 10 rounds but its capacity can be increased. It's very modular, equipped with a Picatinny rail system and can also accept a sound suppressor. The Zenith is a modern, fully ambidextrous and ergonomic pistol. Check out our preview and video interview with Eidos Montreal game designer Antoine Thisdale for more on that.The Zenith is a 10mm polymer framed semi-automatic compact pistol developed by Steiner-Bisley GmbH. If you want new areas and story content rather than guns and gubbins, look out for the 'Missing Link' DLC in October. On Steam, you can also buy both packs in a bundle for only $3.99, saving you a buck. It'll run you $1.99 (160 MS Points) on Steam and Xbox 360. The Tactical Enhancement Pack contains a stylish double-barreled hunting shotgun, a silenced sniper rifle, and 10,000 bonus credits for Adam to spend. It'll cost you $2.99 (240 Microsoft Points) through Steam and the Xbox Live Marketplace. ![]() The bonus mission is a bit short and unspectacular, but it does feature a character from the original Deus Ex, and is pleasant enough. The Explosive Mission Pack adds one extra mission, a mighty grenade launcher, the consumable Automatic Unlocking Device gizmos for insta-hacks, and remote-detonated explosive packs. Presumably the issue's related to the packs being retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses for a period of time. By my calculations, the game just got 18.2% better.ĭue to an unspecified "technicality," the packs won't be available on PlayStation 3 in North America until "mid-October," though Europeans can buy the DLC now. Not so anymore, as they're now being sold separately as downloadable content. The true measure of any video game is, of course, the number of weapons it has, but sadly some of Deus Ex: Human Revolution's were tied up in retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses.
