Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmentations Detailed

PC Gamer has cranked out the icons, names, and uses for twenty-one of the augmentations we’ll be enhancing Mr. Jensen with during Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Considering the fact that each augmentation has an upgrade tree of its own, there’s a lot of customization to be had here:

Social Enhancer Aug
Status: Confirmed
Type: Neural, active?

Use: (provides its user with a direct monitor of behavior patterns and likely responses from conversational subjects. In real terms, this means the user can gain an insight into which conversational methods to employ in any situation.) You can permanently screw up important conversations by saying the wrong thing, this aug gives you some inkling of what to pick. There’s a very brief glimpse of the upgrade tree for this one that just shows a single possible upgrade, a shape that looks like a fractured skull. It may relate to the mind-control stuff the first trailer hinted at.

Silent Running Aug
Status: Speculation
Type: Legs, passive

Use: This is probably the aug from Deus Ex 1 that made your footsteps silent it was a great aug, even when it meant sacrificing Speed in that game. In Human Revolution, no augs are mutually exclusive, so it’d be even better here.

Keep in mind that they’re speculating about some of the aug uses, so we really can’t take any of this (other than the names and icons) as fact.
