Here's a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!
Here's a trailer for our new Mirrored Maps feature in v2.5. 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!
If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

Major Changes
- New Vanilla Fixer program - similar to our installer, except it defaults to only apply the fixes to vanilla for modern computers with high resolutions and high framerates, without changing the gameplay at all. Like a "Zero Changes" mode.

- Rando Medium mode, disables goals rando and memes
- Disabled fast forwarding through infolinks in training, and training restores health each map
- Fixed M04 street doors not opening after talking to Paul
- For other mods, fixed the M04 alliance change when using the computer
- Fixed M03 airfield helibase, chance for the key to not be available if the enemy is not there (and similar problems on other maps)
- Randomize MaxAmmo, and maxCopies for stackable items
- Laser triggers now ignore in flight projectiles (such as throwing an EMP grenade at them), and the weapons that enemies are carrying
- Reduced lower-bound door/keypad strength adjustments, to try to increase variety
- Explosives Only loadout
- Rubber Baton for Stick With the Prod Plus, Grenades Only, and Explosives Only

- More Aug Improvements

- Combat Strength now has a quicker linger time
- Microfibral Muscle, deleted levels 2 and 3, so you only need 1 upgrade can to get to max level
- Aqualung is now perfectly automatic, and deleted levels 1 and 3, so it starts off better and you only need 1 upgrade to hit max
- Aggressive Defense System now only tracks projectiles that are near you, saving some energy and being less annoying
- Synthetic Heart now has a shorter linger, and the auto setting does not increase its energy usage
- Targeting aug no longer shows the annoying "No Image" black rectangle on lower levels, and on max level the image only shows when you have a weapon drawn
- Improved Vision Enhancement/Tech Goggles green filter to be less green
- Camera Mode can now be selected under the advanced settings (for third person and fixed camera like Resident Evil)

- New Game menu now remembers settings
- Added goal note to Silo goal to tell players that Howard will only appear after merging AIs and retrieving UC schematics

- Fearless Leo Gold
- Fixed Restore Defaults button in Rando settings menu
- Reduced throw distance of melee weapon when an enemy dies
- Reduced throw distance of ammo drops from weapons

Augs overhaul
- Auto Augs (optional) you'll be able to leave many augs enabled and they will only use energy when they're useful.
- Ballistic Protection, Combat Strength, Aggressive Defense System, EMP Shield, Energy Shield, Environmental Resistance, Synthetic Heart, and Targeting
- A triggered aug will use energy for 5 seconds and then automatically stop using energy. Automatic augs will use twice the normal energy rate per second (the description will show this value).
- Tweaked difficulty settings to compensate, increased combat difficulty for all
- Increased energy usage for Aggressive Defense System
- Aug Upgrade Cans will no longer be deleted from carcasses
- Increased the chances of AugBots, especially for WaltonWare and Speedrun mode
More randomized goals
- The NSF HQ (M04) transmitter computer is now also randomized, which provides a lot of variety for your escape plans.
- Hong Kong Versalife Labs 1 now has an additional location the computers could be in: the office overlooking the hand statue. You will be able to see this computer from below through the window.
- In Return to NYC (M08), Jock is now randomized for the escape, as well as the spawn points for the MJ12 raid. (Scout out for the black vans to see ahead of time.)
- Leo can now spawn on the Liberty Island North Dock near Harley Filben. (They're pals)
- The bilge pump computer's location is now randomized in the superfreighter (M09).
- On Silo (M14) the computer for redirecting the missile is now in a random location, and Howard's random locations are different now with only 2 of them being in near the missile. Also Howard will no longer appear until after Helios is born (Vandenberg Computer room), you've gotten the schematics for the Oceanlab UC, and you've redirected the missile with the computer.
- Check the wiki!
Major Changes
- Allowed saving during infolinks, and restored Tong's annoying Paris infolinks
- Reduced in-fighting issues
- Fun new Crowd Control effects like Drop Piano and Resident Evil camera!
- Tear gas can no longer kill you, but it can still bring you really low on torso health!
- Lasers now have more consistent behavior:
- Lasers are now triggered by anything except NPCs/enemies, preventing the cheese of using a grenade or other object to block the lasers and safely walk past.
- Red lasers act as an alarm when triggered
- Blue lasers will only trigger something else
- Weapon cooldowns are now more obvious with a red glow when the cooldown is longer than the animation, and animation speeds are also adjusted
- The sniper had a much longer cooldown than animation, especially on a bad seed, so we made it reload after every shot to reduce confusion.
- Fixed max ammo for NPCs/enemies. They were getting hit by the same max ammo reductions that the player was, causing them to run out of ammo early, especially robots.
- Speedrun mode now starts with max energy
Minor Changes

WaltonWare and Bingo improvements and fixes

- Fixed BingoViewer sometimes failing to read the file
- Scopes can now do "watch x" bingo goals without needing binoculars
- Fem JC can now always pay for companionship
- Sub base Jock immediately available in WaltonWare, this way you can immediately go to Silo if you have bingo goals there. This also helps if you're playing the new WaltonWare Entrance Rando mode. We felt like this was one of the toughest missions in WaltonWare so this should help balance them more.
- New Game+ will now only allow you to carry over 5 of the same type of item (not counting stacked items). This mostly affects armor and camo hoarding, especially by MQDuck
- Made skills more attainable after many loops, and reduced how many augs you get each loop
- Flaming barrels are now moveable.

- Added more pigeon generators and fish generators

- More bingo events
Major Changes

- Toned down the Rando color theme speed

- Nerfed randomized cameras and turrets, reduced their range and firing speed

- Slightly reduced issues with in-fighting, we're still working on eliminating these
- Fixed Zero Rando/Rando Lite Paul conversation skip
- Reduced simulated Crowd Control frequency

- Add a nanokey for Tim's Closet in Vandenberg.

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
-

Trailers
Here's a trailer for our new Mirrored Maps feature in v2.5. 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!
If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

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.

- Many bingo fixes
- Mission 5 MJ12 Lab security camera now shows where Paul is.

- In Mission 14 Silo, a couple of combinations of Howard and Jock locations were too easy so we made them mutually exclusive

- 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.

- Remember the Bingo Win option when going to New Game+
(If you missed it, the release title is a reference to Max Payne)
