Yes, this is how I've always used the "stealth" pistol. It's like a machinepistol if you click fast enough. Probably my favourite weapon right next to the trusty PROD!
While I 100% assume all signs point to the pistol being stealthy, it does look like a powerful handheld that can fit in a lunchbox. Could be more a holdout type weapon.
@@BaconHer0Much appreciated! I wonder, have you thought about making some XCOM:A-related content? Would be very nice, even more so in OpenApoc with mods.
@@TheForevener I haven't played x-com 3 since I was a kid. I'd love to revisit it for sure though. But I don't usually make videos of me playing games casually because it's very boring and it gets no views
@@BaconHer0Well, it is not the best game for the 'letsplay' format, that's for sure - but it could work quite effectively with your well-established 'highlights' format.
> Commandos are good at close range and bad at long range Funny that for me it is opposite. If I can reach to them for close combat, I just bash them with my lovely baton. But for some reason rockets get me for time to time. It it kinda funny how they love to friendly fire another enemy with a rocket or sometimes even blow themselves up. AI be AI-ing.
I've always trusted the crosshairs more than the lasers, so I've never fired a pistol like that and hit anything. Of course, I'm more of a cattle prod and crossbow with sniper assistance kind of person.
might want to point out that the laser is bugged and gives 100% accuracy, this is why in some mods its fixed, makes the game a lot more interesting because the laser mod is OP af
I would've never thought to put a laser on the stealth pistol. That'll make it a lot more effective early on. Can't believe something so obvious slipped by me for so long.
That explains a few things for a Doom mod called Hideous Destructor. There are fan reskins for the weaponry and items in that game and the Deus Ex themed one turns the Stealth Pistol into the game's SMG. Oddly fitting too since the SMG in that game is noted to be integrally suppressed as well (not that it helps too much since a lot of Doom maps are close ranged and indoors, making the suppressor effect only noticeable in wide open areas.) Great vid though, might try using the stealth pistol more often this time around.
In playthroughs were I don't use Rifles, the Stealth Pistol is my go to weapon for non-stealth combat. It's fun having to switch to it and make do when you get discovered.
while you probably don't want to hold the dang thing anymore it might be neat to pull an Equilibrium and make a video where you go full pistol-wizard and blast anything you can think off with max skills and utterly tricked out (stealth)pistols
I remember by that point in the game 10mm ammo is really hard to come by, if there's any at all. Do you remember where to find 10mm in the later stages? Shame as i enjoy using both pistols.
Does Laser mod also make Stealth pistol 100% accurate like regular pistol? Does all weapons that can use laser mod get 100% accuracy? Either way, tis probably not useful info for me because I swear that Revision nerfed laser mod
Yes for the first question. For the most except for projectile weapons (such as the crossbow) for the latter question. Should be mentioned the scope (dont combine laser and scope, it nullfies both’s strengths) also makes your hitscan shots go center but with the same skill/augment influenced scope sway to account for as the sniper rifle.
Via the "Revision" mod, I really enjoy dumping every weapon modification box into the stealth pistol (especially the laser dot). I usually immediately bump pistol skill to advanced, and from then onward, two headshots guarantee kills on nearly anyone. 💪😎✌️ Granted, I usually begin the game attempting to kill no one, but gradually ease on into the whole "MJ12 is societal poison" kind of motif, lol. Also, I *LOVED* the "creepy crypt" maze addition (waaay down that looonnng elevator). Absolutely terrifying if you play in the dark, headphones on, and do NOT use the flares for anything except... breadcrumbs. ☠️
Ok so slight correction from the last video, there is a concept that is often forgotten that is range, from what I understand, soem guns have a minimum range max damage, I don't know how to describe it, simply put, the stealth pistol sucks at medium to long range but upclose to effective shotgun range, the stealth pistol will kill with little effort on average grunts, higher end enemies (as in like elites and such), the stealth pistol will suffer. Though a gun wit ha memorable profile, its one of those guns that is equally more practical in CQC.
Nah there's no damage fall off in vanilla Deus Ex. Shotguns have pellet spread but the pellets retain full damage up to max range if it hits (5 base each for sawed off)
Stealth Pistol also good at Shhhhhh You can alert a single guard with impacts and ricochets without everyone in the whole room checking it out. One shot, one distracted guard, waaay stealthier than a stealthy pew PS: Byeee!
when the MIB himself is more lethal than the shotgun he's carrying

(zero energy drain)
@@geefreck Indeed! Perfect for vents.
Ah yes, going loud with the stealth pistol. Wouldnt have it any other way.
The stealth pistol is good at having really painful-looking ergonomics.
Your hands need to be augmented to hold it comfortably
Makes the Zip.22 look like a mug of hot coco. @@BaconHer0
A pew pew pew takedown is always the most loud takedown.
The LASER is the essential upgrade
Absolutely!
As someone who's never played deus ex I can't get over how the stealth pistol looks like the halo magnum but flipped
In GMDX, this with auto mod turns into the best assault rifle.
You know an instruvment in music is distinct when 20 years later you hear it and can rememeber. Xcom apocolypse. Fits really well in this game.
I am still proud of my scoped stealth pistol laser sight with damage mods that became my go to sniper rifle in my one play through.
VSS Vintorez build 👌
Damage mods? Don't those only exist in GMDX?
Yes, this is how I've always used the "stealth" pistol. It's like a machinepistol if you click fast enough. Probably my favourite weapon right next to the trusty PROD!
I could swear you can fire the pistol faster than that though. Maybe I am remembering the fire rate wrong.
So the Stealth Pistol is what the Assault Rifle should have been? Crazy.
I love how the "silent" pistol is a run and gun weapon, opposed to the regular pistol. Just Deus Ex things
While I 100% assume all signs point to the pistol being stealthy, it does look like a powerful handheld that can fit in a lunchbox. Could be more a holdout type weapon.
Deus Ex with the music from X-COM: Apocalypse is the strangest, but the most welcome mashup - especially since they are both my favorite games.
You have good taste

You can use implant and laugh at them trying to hit you with a rocket
I love the way JC pronounces "pew-pew-pew-pew..."
cute
"Pew pew pew pew."
I've always trusted the crosshairs more than the lasers, so I've never fired a pistol like that and hit anything. Of course, I'm more of a cattle prod and crossbow with sniper assistance kind of person.
this only works because in vanilla Deus ex the laser gives a weapon 100% accuracy (as if you had Master skill). loads of mods "fix" this bug.
That _PEW PEW PEW PEW_ is augmented when JC said it.
Nothing, however, could outdo his laughter...
I just got to the Hong Kong mission and I'm more confident in playing now.
Bullets in your inventory before using the stealth pistol: 150.
Bullets in your inventory after using the stealth pistol: 90.

The X-COM: Apocalypse music was unexpected but fits. Between this and the Jagged Alliance 2 music in the other video, you have some pretty neat taste!
Came for the “pew pew pew pew” and was not disappointed
Of all remakes this is my most wanted with ALL original dialogue and story elements
appreciate the apocalypse music
Respect for music choice
"only upgraded with a laser" - 'only' is doin a lot of work in that sentence lol :) great vid

1:36 pew pew to the beat.

Useful - but def way better with the laser mod (that 100% accuracy)
1:00 hey, thanks for opening that
I swear Revision mod buffed enemies, atleast on Realistic Difficulty, they almost always headshot me and do more dmg then in vanilla
Well yeah it's for experienced players
Yeah, it's kind of a challenge mode.
I always go for the stealth pistol because of the pew pew, not stealth efficiency.
>"stealth pistol is good at pew pewpewpewpew"
>pulls out a fucking GEP Gun
I need the GEP Gun for silent takedowns
Gep gun goes more like
>swoooosh
>bam
>ayehhhhh "gets gibed"
XCom Apocalypse music? Holy based
so anyway i started blasting
do you think the laser making weapons 100% accurate was intentional?
I think the Devs didn't foresee how this would be abused
All these years i thought you had to wait to close those crosshairs to make any shot worth it. Gotta re buy and play this game again
I used a cheese tactic to ensure 100% accuracy. My Janky Glitch guide has more info
@@BaconHer0 ahh, I just watched your other video. Never knew! I played vanilla soooo many years ago. Need to re buy.
Exciting stuff. Love JC's voice in your videos. Wish I knew how to do that.
That might make a good video
Bacon content lets go
Hey you make entertaining videos keep them going, I do not know how you make them, once seen I do not forget it.
In my stealth run i just use the base pistol
I love the stealth pistol for it's look, just a sexy looking pistol.

Yeah it gets rare late game. I have a list all all objects in the game somewhere but I don't have it memorised
I was surprised you clicked heal on the bot and not alt-e
So the unsuppressed pistol is good at stealth, and the suppressed pistol is good at gunfighting?
Haha I wouldn't say the regular pistol is good at stealth. The stealth pistol is definitely good at gunfighting though
I refuse to believe the answer to everything is just one pew pew pistol and GEP gun
fuck yeah a good follow up for the last video
You know that video where everything goes in the square hole? Deus Ex is kind of like that
@@BaconHer0 that's one reason why it's my favourite
I assume I’m part of a small percentage of players who prefer the stealth pistol over the regular one, mainly cause of its higher rate of fire.
well shit i'm gonna start my run n gun playtrough
Nice frag video
Good to see you have mended your ways JC, now come back to the helipad for pickup

Yes, Revision did nerf laser mod. They made its behaviour sway by default

Why don't you make a video explaning how the GEP gun is good at stealth?
You need to be Angel 0A to access that kind of information

can you explain how accuracy works? You are so accurate for such a wide crosshair.
I upgraded the pistol with a laser which gives it 100% accuracy. Don't add on a scope though. Scope will mess it up
It's at 999 so I'll just go ahead and be the first to say, congrats on 1k subs! (And MORE DEUS EX PLEASE!) ❤❤❤
I recomend you trying the assault rifle silenced if you want real pew pew pew experience the ammo waste is insane though
There's actually a bug with silencer on the AR. Only the first bullet is silent, the rest of the bursts are loud

Bad at stealth good at killing......

Though a gun wit ha memorable profile, its one of those guns that is equally more practical in CQC.
Nah there's no damage fall off in vanilla Deus Ex. Shotguns have pellet spread but the pellets retain full damage up to max range if it hits (5 base each for sawed off)
