Major Changes
- Many Walton Ware and Bingo improvements and fixes
- More bingo goals, over 250 now! (one of the new ones is a Simpsons reference)
- Fixed bingo win while inventory is open crash (was common with bingo goals for using items)

- Auto splits for each mission
- Compares against balanced splits instead of PB splits (time saves and time losses from the PB are redistributed across the splits, because this is a randomizer)

Minor Changes
Click to expand Minor Changes
- Installer improvements
- Fix for rare infolink failing to queue, especially in Area 51
- Increase the default pan/zoom speed on security computers
- Fully prevent Tong and Everett ending skips for real
- More rat spawners (for bingo and Walton Ware purporses), now there's at least 1 in each mission
- Gary Savage runs to the communicator and immediately talks to you after Bob is done talking
- Scale damage from ElectricityEmitter's so that they don't do ridiculous damage with increased combat difficulty
- Clear out inaccessible cabinets buried underneath Vandenberg
- More ways to set yourself on fire (yay?): standing on a burning barrel, or going into a lit fireplace. This can help with bingo.
- Add a keypad to disable the jammer in the graveyard, along with a datacube with the code for that keypad. Helps with Stick With the Prod modes.
- Add a nanokey for Tim's Closet in Vandenberg.
- Add several placeholder locations to the mission 3 airfield barracks so that the datacube with the hangar code can appear in slightly more interesting spots.
- Trying to pick up a weapon that you don't have space for will still yoink the ammo right out of it.
- Carcasses toss items that the player can't pick up.
- Allow picking up partial item stacks (for making it easier to grab stuff from MJ12 Jail)

- Speedrun mode now gets in game timer notifications after every loading screen.

Major Changes
- Augmented Enemies thanks to Silverstrings:
- For increased challenge, rare enemies with special abilities. See the Wiki for more details
- (These screenshots were taken using the help of Serious Sam mode, and without helmets so you can see them better. The tough augs can't get helmets because they don't need them.)
-
Walton Ware mode: a game mode focused on quickly doing bingos and New Game+
- Each round can be beaten in around 10 minutes or even less!
- In order to make Walton Ware possible, we added these new options which it enables by default (you can also enable these individually on the Advanced page):
- Random starting map
- Bingo win at 1 line
- Bingo Scale of 0% so all bingo goals are reduced to their lowest amount
- Bingo Duration of 1 mission so it only selects events that can be done right away
- 5 free spaces on the bingo board
- We're also now over 200 bingo events!
- This is what a Walton Ware bingo board looks like
-
- See the wiki for our full list of game modes.
-
New Speedrun mode: speedrun with fewer resets while still being able to enjoy higher difficulties.
- Reduces randomization range for skill costs and strengths
- Uses the same doors rules as Normal difficulty
- Some tweaks to scoring to accommodate this such as doors rules having a bigger impact on your score
-
Crowd Control online and simulated together for the average streamer that doesn't have many viewers
-
Fixes to various mirrored maps, so make sure to tell the installer to download the new mirrored maps!
-
Steam Deck fix for health display after waking up from sleep.
-
Autofill passwords even in Zero Rando mode, great for Steam Deck players!
-
We now prevent using lockpicks/multitools on doors/keypads you have the key/code for, great for people who don't read!
-

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:
See the full README here. Also check out our Discord!
Major Changes
- New in v2.5 are Mirrored Maps! Play through the game with a random mix of mirrored maps, which will keep you on your toes even more than the randomizer has before!
- This is powered by our new tool, the unreal-map-flipper which supports mirroring maps, but also doing other transformations for them too.
- On a semi-Unrealated note, keep an eye on the unreal-map-flipper releases page for some transformations of classic UT maps coming soon! And also our Unreal Tournament 1999 Crowd Control / Randomizer for even more craziness!
- You can now choose what map to start the game in the Advanced menu, if you want to start in Hong Kong or Paris, for example.
- You’ll start with an appropriate amount of skill points, augs, and equipment.
- Likewise, the bingo board will be intelligently built and scaled to match your position in the game.
- New Installer program, which takes care of everything for you including some performance fixes for the game!
- You can still manually install if you wish, just extract the zip file and follow the manual instructions in the Wiki
- Randomized visors for enemies! This is similar to randomized helmets except the visor gives resistance to pepper spray and gas grenades.
- Increased Rates Randomization variance
- For items and enemies we tweak their rates on a per-seed basis, which increases how unique each seed feels.
- In v2.5 we increased the variance for these so the differences should be more apparent.
Minor Changes
Click to expand Minor Changes
- New faction handling for Police, so they won't be paired with thugs anymore.
- Fixed 0 healing medbots in Impossible difficulty
- Put the fear back in Gary Savage so that you actually have to fight Walton Simons if he's up on the roof.
- Many bingo fixes
- Mission 5 MJ12 Lab security camera now shows where Paul is.
- Some fixes for enabling/disabling songs
- In Mission 14 Silo, a couple of combinations of Howard and Jock locations were too easy so we made them mutually exclusive
- In Mission 12 fixed a location for Tong where he could get stuck
- Bingo Free Spaces option now goes up to 5
- All cleaner bots are now mortal, which can help with bingo
- More backtracking buttons so you can't get stuck, such as a button at the end of Hong Kong Helibase to blow up the door if you chose Hong Kong as your starting area.
- Fixed issues with boatguard in Mission 3 Airfield not appearing, he's the one with the East Gate key
- Remember the Bingo Win option when going to New Game+
(If you missed it, the release title is a reference to Max Payne)

v2.4 The Enemies Are On Patrol!
Downloads are in the Assets section under the changelog.
Installation Instructions for Vanilla, Lay D Denton, GMDX, Revision, HX co-op, and Vanilla? Madder.
v2.0 Trailer
June 22nd 2022 was Deus Ex's 22nd anniversary, and our 2nd anniversary! To celebrate, we made a new trailer!
See the full README here. Also check out our Discord!
Enemies Overhaul
- Randomly spawned enemies can now get randomly generated patrol routes. (The visible patrol points are just for demonstration.)
- New enemies with slightly different stats and appearances, see the wiki.
- Randomly spawned enemies now keep the same faction as the enemies near them. (No more Thugs with MJ12 Troopers.)
- Improved shuffling of enemies, and cloned enemies are now spread out better on higher difficulties.
- Enemies now have a random chance to have a helmet or not, including a new custom texture for NSF Helmets! (ok it's just a color shift lol)
- Without a helmet an enemy will take 4x damage to the head, just like in vanilla.
- With a helmet it will only be 2x damage. Sabot rounds ignore the helmet and deal the full 4x.
New Game Modes
- Zero Rando - great for first-time Deus Ex players!
- Benefit from the bug fixes, balance changes, and QoL improvements we've made, without any randomization.
- Make use of some of our features such as Crowd Control, the Brightness Boost, left click to use items without picking them up, autosave, and more.
- Also if you have Online Features enabled you get features like Death Markers, the Mastodon Feed, and the Leaderboard.
- Randomizer Lite - Great for players who haven't played Deus Ex in a long time!
- Similar to Zero Rando but randomizes some things without interfering with the immersion and mood of the game.
- Enables randomization for things like skill costs and strengths, passwords, and medbot strengths.
- Some randomization is reduced, such as item quantities, skill costs, and weapon damage. These will be closer to vanilla values than the normal randomizer mode.
- Does not move items, medbots, repairbots, or goals from their original locations.
- You can still go to the Advanced settings page to turn more randomization on or off.
- Serious Sam mode - same as the normal Randomizer but with 10x as many enemies.
- The player has increased health, takes reduced damage to compensate, and starts with more equipment.
- All 3 of these new game modes can also be combined with other mods: Lay D Denton, GMDX, Revision, or Vanilla? Madder.
Other Major Changes
- Improved item and containers shuffling with more possible locations.
- When the Randomizer removes the items from a crate, instead of putting a flare in it, it is now turned into a cardboard box so you know before breaking it.
- The Rando menu now has a scrollbar which allowed us to fit many new options, like enabling music from Unreal and Unreal Tournament (you must bring your own UMX files for these, you can also add custom UMX files if you edit DXRMusic.ini), or optionally fixing the glitches that some speedrunners enjoy abusing.
- Over 50 more bingo events! See the wiki.
- Improved scoring for the leaderboard. See the wiki.
- Scrambler grenade will now randomly toggle your augs on or off. Scrambler grenades also work on turrets now.
- Randomized goal locations for Jock in Dockyard and Vandenberg. See the wiki.
- Tweaked damage calculations for the player. This fixes issues with rounding for small damage values, especially when using armor or a hazmat suit.
- Combat difficulty now has an affect on all damage types, even environmental damage. This is what allows Serious Sam mode to be possible.
- New options in Advanced new game settings page for the player's Max Health and Max Energy (used by Serious Sam mode). Note that changing max energy is a little awkward because some parts of the game refer to energy in units and other parts refer to energy in percentage, usually these are the same because the default is a max of 100 units.
- Fixed sniper rifle accuracy bug from the vanilla game.
- New spoiler buttons to show where Nanokeys and Datacubes are, and the goals spoiler button also now shows markers in the game world.
- We have updated the in-game map of the ship's weld points to show all the possible locations. Check your Images screen in-game, or check out the Wiki page.
- Slightly reduced max skill costs for some difficulties.
- Increased computer skill base cost.
- Fixed GEP Gun looted from enemies sometimes being unable to lock-on.
- Bingo win now shows the credits and allows New Game+
- Nanokeys and Datacubes now emit a blue glow so they aren't as annoyingly hidden.
- Improved Medbot/Repairbot hints and visibility. The hint datacubes now glow green and have a special name and text. The bots themselves glow green when they're charged, and red when they're recharging.
Minor Changes
Click to expand Minor Changes
- Nerfed spy drone strength, and it now can alert enemies.
- Fixes for inventory issues when starting new games multiple times.
- Enemy stat rando fixes:
- Reduced randomization range for enemies, since we now have custom enemies to push the stats range out farther instead.
- Robot stats now randomized by default.
- Fixed enemies getting their BaseAccuracy randomized past the point of perfection, causing them to deal extreme damage with shotguns.
- Fixed greasel and spiderbot2 health nerfs.
- Vandenberg Silo doors won't close behind you anymore. (#418)
- Added switch to extend mission 3 helibase sewer platform from the other side for backtracking. (#424)
- Scoring now takes flags into account and more points for bingos and skill points, so maybe it's possible to beat Jesus_On_Wheels now?
- Horde mode now uses the new enemy types, and sped up the difficulty increases with each wave.
- Fixed MissionEndgame for other mods.
- M05 datacube tells you where Paul is.
- Enemies set to raise an alarm can now be randomized to do it either when they see you or when they get low on health and start fleeing.

- Separate option for enemy stats on Advanced settings new game page.
- Show min/max for input fields on Advanced settings new game page.
- Female enemies stop trying to use 2-handed weapon animations that they don't have.
- Fixed issue with Max Chen's henchmen trying to sit down.
- Enemies no longer receive momentum from certain types of damage, like gas.
- Sam Carter's closet no longer gets items shuffled into it (except in mission 5), so you won't miss out on a nanokey.
- Fixed a vanilla bug with dialog about Shanty Town Terrorists in Battery Park.
- Restored a cut dialog with a Versalife lab assistant.
- Fixed potential softlock from vanilla if you leave Oceanlab UC before the infolinks finish playing.

- Fixed abuse of slow opening security computers
- Fixed crash if you die while using a computer

This version is not fully compatible with older saves!
Because so many things have been improved, goal locations and RNG won't be consistent with previous versions. This can cause issues if you're loading an old save file.
Anna Navarre Overhaul
- In the 747, Anna will no longer trigger your grenades if she's still allied with you
- In Mission 4 NYC Anna will have a randomized location (see the Wiki)
- The computers with Anna's killphrase are now randomized (make sure to use the DEMIURGE user login). A datacube on Manderley's desk tells you which computers they're in. If Paul and Anna are both still alive then Paul will tell you the password, otherwise you can find it in a datacube in the MJ12 Lab. (see the Wiki for more info)
Goal Randomization (see the Wiki)
- Randomized the location of Max Chen in the Lucky Money
- Replace the Battery Park subway TNT crates with a random explosive container or gas barrel
- Mission 8 NYC random start location
- Nicolette/Jaime Apartment Balcony spot instead of hidden inside the apartment
- More clarity on identifying computers, keypads, and NPCs (like in Versalife)
Balance Changes
- Private Lloyd now gets promotions and becomes stronger
- Scale weapon animation speeds with weapon skill, especially grenades and fuse lengths
- Ability to place grenades on floors and doors
- Buffed plasma rifle again with more damage and more ammo
- Tweaked how ammo amounts work
- Slight nerf to speed aug
- Hard mode 75% devices hackable instead of 100%
- Stricter door rules for more variety
- Hard mode max skill cost reduced from 300% down to 250%
- Tech Goggles now use the distance of Vision Enhancement level 2, and a longer duration
- Vision Enhancement no longer has randomized strength and instead has randomized energy cost
- Buffed the gas leak in the Hong Kong Helibase
- Paired doors now get the same stats
- Don't remove weapons from important pawns, only add weapons
- Add more junk items around Mission 3 Battery Park so Curly's Journal can be in more locations
- Ensure rebreather in 14_OCEANLAB_LAB before Greasel Labs, in case you need to get to the flooded area
Changes
- More bingo events (see the Wiki)
- Bingo red highlighting for missed goals, both in-game and in the separate BingoDisplay.exe program
- Small fixes for some conversations as Lay D Denton
- Fixed doors sometimes showing the incorrect number of hits to break due to rounding
- Make Lucius DeBeers destroyable
- New "Extra Safe" autosave mode which keeps all autosaves in separate slots (WARNING: REQUIRES AT LEAST 1 GB FREE SPACE!)
