Download DXRandoInstaller.exe in the Assets section under the changelog or download from Mods4Ever.com. It is safe to update in the middle of a playthrough.

Use vanilla (optionally with Lay D Denton) to get all of the Randomizer's features, best QoL improvements, and the most polished experience. Our installer has an option to install Lay D Denton for you automatically.

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

v2.0 Trailer

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!

WaltonWare Trailer

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!

v2.5 Mirrored Maps Trailer

Major Changes

  • Simplified barrels to combine multiple variants that did the same thing. Also added optional new textures to make it even clearer (look in the Rando menu).
  • Weapons that fall out of enemy hands due to damage now have ammo
  • M14 Silo: Howard radio room closer to window, and added computer in machine shop
  • Added option to automatically put away in-hand items when trying to pick up decorations
  • Nerfed automatic power recirculator slightly
  • Gas colliding with enemies is now more consistent
  • You now start with 6575 skill points, and Zero Rando defaults to Trained pistol with 5000 points remaining like vanilla does (except without the exploit/bug with untraining pistol)
  • More goal locations mutual exclusions, to reduce the difference between best seed and worst seed for each mission
    • M02 subway vents start and subway ambrosia because of easy skill points
    • M02 warehouse alley generator and sewer jock, this combo was too easy
    • M08 the 2 bar locations, bar is still the best place to check but now you can't get both Harley and Vinny in the bar at the same time
    • M12 starting front gate and exiting at front gate, because that's too much walking back and forth, also slightly moved front gate start forwards where Tong normally is
