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/GOTY (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. We also support Revision, GMDX, HX, and Vanilla? Madder.

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:
Here are trailers for our Halloween modes, WaltonWare, and Vanilla Fixer/Zero Rando:
Normal Randomizer no longer includes randomized goal locations or start locations. Also disables randomized auto turrets, and reduces some randomization rates.
Full Randomizer includes everything Normal used to.
Balance changes are now controlled by options in the Rando menu, disabled by default in Zero Rando modes (see the Wiki page)
Zero Rando should now be almost identical gameplay to vanilla, with bug fixes and optional QoL features. Great for first-time Deus Ex players and purist veterans alike.
If you want the balance changes or more QoL features, play Zero Rando Plus, or check the Rando ➜ Gameplay menu.
New menu to change current game settings (but some won't take effect until you go to a new map)
Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
Fixed Attacking orders for many enemies that break stealth/camo
Example: Mission 8 Hell's Kitchen UNATCO Troops that spawn when a Riot Cop is killed run to the location of the killed cop, instead of directly targeting the player.
A different sound is played when taking 0 fall damage
Slowed down WaltonWare difficulty increases
Fixed riot prod accuracy
Some loadouts now have banned skills, such as By the Book banning computers, lockpicking, and electronics.
New loadouts
Random Starting Aug (instead of Speed Enhancement)
Reduced Aug Set
Straight Edge
No Overused Weapons renamed to Hipster JC, now also starts with EMP Shield, and bans a few augs and laser mods as well
Tweaks to The Merchant items and pricing, now selling more relevant items with more appropriate prices

Fixed some issues with Ford Schick alliances
Slightly more biocells for Extreme and Impossible difficulties
Slightly tweaked melee weapon rates (made swords slightly more common)
Fixed Plasma/PS20/PS40 damage descriptions
Zero Rando PS20 does 25 damage as the vanilla description suggests
