10 Video Game Sections You Didn't Know You Could Skip

10. Liberty Island - Deus Ex

Deus Ex opens with a memorable mission set on Liberty Island, and while you probably shouldn't skip it on your first playthrough, you can employ a sneaky trick to breeze through the vast majority of the hour-long mission on subsequent runs.

This skip is achieved by retrieving a gas grenade near the pier's exit, and then heading over to UNATCO HQ.

Throw the grenade at the HQ's front door, and doing so should cause some of the gas to leak into the building, in turn alerting the AI inside and causing a guard to open the door in a panic.

You're then able to run inside past the guard, triggering the end of the Liberty Island level without really doing much of anything.

Hilariously, Eidos clearly realised the potential for players to do this, and so the guard inside will say, "I heard you just slipped by a lot of the terrorists. Pretty smart."
