v2.7.1 Barrels O'Fun!
- Simplified barrels to combine multiple variants that did the same thing. Also added optional new textures to make it even clearer (look in the Rando menu).
- More goal locations mutual exclusions, to reduce the difference between best seed and worst seed for each mission.
- Nerfed automatic power recirculator slightly.
- Gas colliding with enemies is now more consistent.
- Weapons that fall out of enemy hands due to damage now have ammo.
- You now start with 6575 skill points, and Zero Rando defaults to Trained pistol with 5000 points remaining like vanilla does.
- Added option to automatically put away in-hand items when trying to pick up decorations.
This is a mod for the original Deus Ex that takes everything and shuffles it all around to make it like a new game every time but with the same great story. The goal is to increase the replayability and strategy. You can also use it to properly configure your vanilla Deus Ex with performance fixes like DXVK, Kentie's Launcher, and config tweaks all done automatically for you.
It is safe to update in the middle of a playthrough.
Use vanilla (optionally with Lay D Denton) to get all of the Randomizer's features, best QoL improvements, and the most polished experience. Our installer has an option to install Lay D Denton for you automatically.
