Deus Ex: Invisible War is Ion Storm's 2003 sequel to the original Deus Ex, set twenty years later and built around universal ammo, six biomod slots and a toolbelt. These are the default PC bindings from Eidos's own manual, which puts biomods on F1-F6, toolbelt items on 1-6 and every interaction on the right mouse button, plus the quicksave keys PCGamingWiki records.
