* Yes, there are some useless augs. The stealth enhancers and hacking analyzers are all total crap, while the flash suppressant, gas immunity, and sprint boosters are marginal at best.

* If you plan to do a completely non-lethal takedown run of the game a) bosses don't count and b) the intro where you only have a gun, it tells you how to kill people, and gives you no non-lethal options does count.

* Though the non-lethal achievement is a bit buggy, in theory if you don't get experience for killing people, they don't count as a kill for the achiev. That means people caught in a bot explosion / people who somehow manage to kill themselves.

* Your last unit of energy automatically recharges, but only the last unit. Getting the faster recharge aug just makes that last point recharge faster.

* The bosses are bullet sponges. They are not, however, explosive sponges. A bunch of mines/ grenades / gas canisters will ruin their day.

* On the same note, the Typhoon augmentation ruins bosses in 2-3 activations. It's also instantaneous and makes Jansen invulnerable for the duration.

* The non-lethal takedown is the most xp efficient way of dealing with enemies, at 50 xp per downed bad guy (125 for two guys at once with the double takedown upgrade). The next most efficient way is a headshot from the tranquilizer rifle (30 xp for a non-lethal takedown + 10 xp for a headshot). Whether you're going for the pacifist achievement or are trying to maximize your praxis kits, these are your best options.

* You can backtrack through any mission / hostile area. So you can stealth your way through up to (and including) the boss, get all the ghost and no-alarm experience, then go all the way back to the start to knock everyone out and loot all the stuff (the exception being Sarif's manufacturing, where you can't knock people out after the boss, but can still loot stuff and get exploration xp).

* You get "Ghost" xp if you get to your goal without any human or bot enemies being sure they saw you ("Hostile" status), any cameras going red, or any enemies seeing a body. ANY bodies spotted by the enemy that send them into "alarmed mode", including bodies the player didn't cause, will void the ghost xp.

* You will visit Detroit and Hengsha twice each. Any side missions you didn't complete the first time will be gone the second time. Other than that, nothing else changes. If you didn't get a goodie cache the first time, it will be there on your second visit.

* Breaking through walls unlocks a lot of new routes in the game so its surprisngly not worthless.

* The punch-through-walls aug costs one Praxis, and there are *two* places where breaking a wall gets you a Praxis kit, so it's a no-brainer. (You can break weakened walls without the aug, but they're not highlighted, so that may or may not be considered cheating).
