With Deus Ex: Human Revolution set to come out in a matter of days, Eidos Montreal has teamed up with Valve to bring us a number of Deus Ex-inspired items for Team Fortress 2.
These TF2 promotions go on from time to time to encourage people to pick up a game on Steam. It’s happened with Mount & Blade With Fire & Sword (two hats), Rift (two weapons), Left 4 Dead 2 (a frying pan and hats), Monday Night Combat (a hat and outfit), Poker Night at the Inventory (some weapons and attire), Quake 4 (the original rocket launcher), Fallout: New Vegas (a Pip-Boy replica), and Brink (a mask). But this Deus Ex Manno-Technology bundle is probably the best yet; it includes eight items, half of which are brand new weapons.
The Sniper gets the Machina sniper rifle, which does additional damage and penetrates players when fully charged, but can’t be fired when not zoomed-in and gives away your position with tracer rounds. The Spy gets the Diamondback handgun, which gets one critical shot whenever a building is destroyed with your sapper attached, but it does 15% less damage and never gets random critical hits. And the Engineer gets two items: one is the Widowmaker, a shotgun that uses 60 metal as ammo for each shot but returns the amount of damage done to you as metal. The other is the Short Circuit, a pistol replacement that doesn’t need to be reloaded and can destroy incoming enemy projectiles while also damaging enemies and using metal as ammo. It doesn’t work underwater or have random criticals.
