* [[Icarus Allusion]]: The game is fueled entirely by allusions to the Icarus myth and the colour yellow. Both Sarif and {{spoiler|Darrow}} claim to be the Daedelus to Jensen's Icarus (Sarif in particular owns a company with a wing for a logo and often calls Jensen "son"), and the [[Tie-in Novel]] is named ''Deus Ex: The Icarus Effect'', which contain more allusions. Also, there's an augment called the Icarus Landing System that prevents fall damage. |

** When Jensen first encounters Zhao, he has plenty of intel telling him that she is a ruthless, powerful, amoral woman who has forged her world-spanning company by sheer grit. As such, when she pulls the damsel-in-distress routine, he simply stands there, apparently rebooting, while she maneuvers behind him and shoves him out of the panic room. Sarif very rightly gives you shit for it. |

*** There's a [[Fan Wank|fan]] [[Wild Mass Guessing|theory]] that Zhao was [[Charm Person|using a CASIE mod]], which would make Adam's complete disregard of everything he knows about her (and his susceptibility to her [[Large Ham|incredibly transparent acting]]) a ''bit'' more understandable, as the CASIE is essentially a [[Stupidity-Inducing Attack]]. |

* [[Improvised Weapon]]/[[Improbable Weapon User]]: Activate the strength augmentation, and you can pick up refrigerators and dumpsters and use them as thrown weapons, and are almost instant death on most enemies. These heavy items are also pretty sturdy and can be used as cover in a firefight. You can also break down doors by throwing fridges at them; the fridge is all-purpose! |

** Even better than throwing fridges? Throwing dead bodies. Because for some reason they are a guaranteed [[One-Hit Kill]] on most enemies. |
