Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Guide › Gameplay

Accruing Augmentations

You can’t get more augmentations without having Praxis to spend. These points appear when you gain a level (with XP), or when you acquire a Praxis Kit. There are a few kits in specific mission areas. There are also Praxis Kits to purchase in Prague. They cost 10k a piece, and there are limited numbers to buy even if you’re filthy rich.

Gain XP quickly in multiple ways. Explore each level as thoroughly as you can. You get XP rewards for finding out of the way locations. Plus, you’re likely to bump into more areas to Hack, more enemies to kill or disable, and maybe some eBooks to read. All of these things give XP.

When fighting, aim for headshots or Non-Lethal kills. These victories give you more XP than bland gunshot deaths.

Complete all possible points of interest and side missions. These are worth huge amounts of XP, and multiple Trophies are awarded for beating them, too.

Main missions are also worth quite a bit, though these should always be completed after you’ve gotten everything else done in an area. You cannot return to most places in the game; Prague is the only place that you pass through several times. Even there you can miss content, because Prague changes a little each time you visit, and some NPCs won’t still have quests for you if you’ve ditched them in the past.

Maximum XP

To earn the maximum XP in each area, you must take out every target. Kills are worth very little, so Takedowns are the way to boost this number (you get 2.5x the XP for a Takedown compared to a standard kill).

Tack on Ghost, Smooth Operator, and extra XP for successful hacks and you can gain many more levels over the course of the game. It’s entirely possible to complete your build and still have enough Praxis to continue buying more augmentations in the late-game just for fun.

The Dangers of Overclocking

There are several experimental augmentations that you’re allowed to buy after getting a little bit into the story. These augs are very powerful, but they come at a higher cost. Once you unlock an experimental augmentation, you must disable another aug or deal with glitches in your system that get more serious as you pile on more experimental augmentations.

Later in the game, you can pursue two side missions to negate this Overclocking problem: “The Calibrator” and “The Fix.” Until then, disable augmentations that you weren’t planning to unlock anyway to avoid glitches. For example, if you grab Tesla and Remote Hacking for a stealth run, disable Nanoblade and PEPS.
