It's later suggested that this sniper is ''Miller himself'', who was shown wielding a Longsword Sniper Rifle in the introductory cutscene onboard the VTOL -- and is later stated to have been a former sniper in Australia's Tactical Assault Group (revealed later in an email you find in his secret computer at his apartment).
* DiscOneNuke: It's possible to find a Longsword Sniper Rifle (and ammo) in the very first mission by dropping down the right-most elevator shaft from the top of the atrium (facing outwards), then picking it up from the ledge the [=TF29=] troopers first appear at. (It's also possible to knock out a [=TF29=] soldier carrying a sniper rifle with a laser sight attached.) Doing either[=/=]both of these options gives you a very powerful weapon from the get-go; it's otherwise teaser gear that is either sold for high prices by one of the local merchants, Mikael, locked away in a high-level cabinet at [=TF29=] Headquarters or found much later on at Jim Miller's apartment.
* DynamicEntry: The easiest and simplest solution to make it down to the ground quickly during the final battle with the Gold Masks at the helicopter is to leap out of the elevator and use the Stun function of the Icarus Landing System to take out several nearby enemies.

'''Mission 1:'''
!Prologue
[[{{Interquel}} The year is 2029]]. In a voiceover, [[TheHero Adam Jensen]] muses that he once thought he could save the world, before lamenting how bad things have become since then.
Various scenes of civil unrest are seen, along with Eliza Cassan delivering a news report talking about how it has been [[TimeSkip two years]] since the "[[Recap/DeusExHumanRevolutionMission11Panchaea Aug Incident]]" that resulted in millions of casualties after Hugh Darrow's signal made augments go crazy and attack others.
Onboard a VTOL aircraft, Adam sits with [[Recap/DeusExChildrensCrusade the rest of Task Force 29]], an anti-terrorist unit funded by Interpol. One of the members on the team, [=MacCready=], playfully goads Adam about not turning evil, causing the latter to stick out his armblade and mention that if they ever have a problem, they won't see him coming.
[=TF29=]'s commander, Jim Miller, tells Adam to knock it off and outlines the group's next mission -- they are being ordered to infiltrate an abandoned high-rise building in Dubai to apprehend an ex-Belltower operative named Sheppard, who went off the grid during the Aug Incident and has recently resurfaced to oversee an arms deal (and sell military-grade augments) with a group of terrorists. Miller also tells the group that there's [[TheMole a mole]] named Arun Singh inside the terrorist group involved in the arms deal, and he is feeding information back to Interpol.
Miller orders the team to stop the arms deal, and tells [=MacCready=] to lead a group in through the atrium to arrest Sheppard. Adam is ordered to airdrop onto the roof and take out the terrorists looking to buy the augs from Sheppard. [[ContinuityNod After giving Adam his choice of loadout and weapons to take along]], Miller cautions that there's also a sandstorm moving in and that the team should hurry.
As the VTOL passes over the hotel, Adam airdrops out and uses his Icarus Landing System to land safely. He looks around at the destruction and debris before moving inside the building.
After sneaking past several guards and making his way past locked doors and environmental obstacles, Miller radios the team to inform them that the sandstorm is moving closer and they have to pick up the pace. Adam continues through several penthouses and disables the terrorist's communications system on the way.
Soon after, a [=TF29=] operative named Chang broadcasts Singh's orders to his men for the benefit of the team, and [=MacCready=] tells Adam to hurry up. Adam secures the route behind him and reaches the atrium just as the arms deal begins. He watches Sheppard's helo land as Singh and the terrorists watch, while the strike teams announce that they're in position and holding.
Sheppard disembarks and chides Singh for performing a transaction while a sandstorm is imminent. He shows off several arm augmentations and mentions that the rest of the guns are onboard the chopper, but the conversation is cut short when an aug extremist wearing a gold-plated mask and hood decloaks from behind him and [[NeckSnap snaps his neck]]. The rest of Sheppard's men are cut down in quick unison by similarly-dressed people and Singh flees behind cover. Miller asks what's happening, and Adam watches in shock as other extremists jump down to the atrium and land using the Icarus system. Singh radios and says that the operation is compromised and the assailants are trying to go after the weapons.
As [=TF29=] opens fire and the sandstorm begins to pass through the hotel, Miller tells Adam to hurry and disable Sheppard's aircraft by any means necessary. Gunfire is exchanged while Adam leaps off the atrium balcony and makes his way with his thermal vision. He eventually reaches the chopper and pulls out a key component to disable it, while [=MacCready=] snipes an extremist who tries to sneak up on Adam.
With the assailants all dead, Adam breathes a sigh of relief. However, the atrium windows break and sand begins to blow in, obscuring his visibility. Adam sees a vision of himself [[RuleOfSymbolism as Icarus, wielding a pair of wings and screaming as he falls into darkness]]...
!!Tropes:
* ActionPrologue: The mission sets up Adam's association with Task Force 29 and sets up the aug extremist threat with an explosive confrontation.
* AsYouKnow: The opening broadcast by Eliza Cassan mentions the events in Panchaea two years earlier for the benefit of those who haven't played [[VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution the previous game]].
* BusCrash: It is mentioned offhandedly in dialogue that Sarif Industries ceased operations sometime during the two-year interim between the "Aug Incident" and the beginning of the game.
* TheCavalry: [=MacCready=] saves Adam from being shot by an aug extremist during the attack in the atrium.

!Prologue
[[{{Interquel}} The year is 2029]]. In a voiceover, [[TheHero Adam Jensen]] muses that he once thought he could save the world, before lamenting how bad things have become since then.
Various scenes of civil unrest are seen, along with Eliza Cassan delivering a news report talking about how it has been [[TimeSkip two years]] since the "[[Recap/DeusExHumanRevolutionMission11Panchaea Aug Incident]]" that resulted in millions of casualties after Hugh Darrow's signal made augments go crazy and attack others.
Onboard a VTOL aircraft, Adam sits with [[Recap/DeusExChildrensCrusade the rest of Task Force 29]], an anti-terrorist unit funded by Interpol. One of the members on the team, [=MacCready=], playfully goads Adam about not turning evil, causing the latter to stick out his armblade and mention that if they ever have a problem, they won't see him coming.
[=TF29=]'s commander, Jim Miller, tells Adam to knock it off and outlines the group's next mission -- they are being ordered to infiltrate an abandoned high-rise building in Dubai to apprehend an ex-Belltower operative named Sheppard, who went off the grid during the Aug Incident and has recently resurfaced to oversee an arms deal (and sell military-grade augments) with a group of terrorists. Miller also tells the group that there's [[TheMole a mole]] named Arun Singh inside the terrorist group involved in the arms deal, and he is feeding information back to Interpol.
Miller orders the team to stop the arms deal, and tells [=MacCready=] to lead a group in through the atrium to arrest Sheppard. Adam is ordered to airdrop onto the roof and take out the terrorists looking to buy the augs from Sheppard. [[ContinuityNod After giving Adam his choice of loadout and weapons to take along]], Miller cautions that there's also a sandstorm moving in and that the team should hurry.
As the VTOL passes over the hotel, Adam airdrops out and uses his Icarus Landing System to land safely. He looks around at the destruction and debris before moving inside the building.
After sneaking past several guards and making his way past locked doors and environmental obstacles, Miller radios the team to inform them that the sandstorm is moving closer and they have to pick up the pace. Adam continues through several penthouses and disables the terrorist's communications system on the way.
Soon after, a [=TF29=] operative named Chang broadcasts Singh's orders to his men for the benefit of the team, and [=MacCready=] tells Adam to hurry up. Adam secures the route behind him and reaches the atrium just as the arms deal begins. He watches Sheppard's helo land as Singh and the terrorists watch, while the strike teams announce that they're in position and holding.
Sheppard disembarks and chides Singh for performing a transaction while a sandstorm is imminent. He shows off several arm augmentations and mentions that the rest of the guns are onboard the chopper, but the conversation is cut short when an aug extremist wearing a gold-plated mask and hood decloaks from behind him and [[NeckSnap snaps his neck]]. The rest of Sheppard's men are cut down in quick unison by similarly-dressed people and Singh flees behind cover. Miller asks what's happening, and Adam watches in shock as other extremists jump down to the atrium and land using the Icarus system. Singh radios and says that the operation is compromised and the assailants are trying to go after the weapons.
As [=TF29=] opens fire and the sandstorm begins to pass through the hotel, Miller tells Adam to hurry and disable Sheppard's aircraft by any means necessary. Gunfire is exchanged while Adam leaps off the atrium balcony and makes his way with his thermal vision. He eventually reaches the chopper and pulls out a key component to disable it, while [=MacCready=] snipes an extremist who tries to sneak up on Adam.
With the assailants all dead, Adam breathes a sigh of relief. However, the atrium windows break and sand begins to blow in, obscuring his visibility. Adam sees a vision of himself [[RuleOfSymbolism as Icarus, wielding a pair of wings and screaming as he falls into darkness]]...
