The gas grenade can be used for crowd control, keeping large groups of enemies unable to damage you while you decide what to do with them, or slip away quietly.
Obtaining it
Gas grenades can be found in a variety of different locations throughout Forum City.
Description
Upon detonation, the gas grenade releases a large amount of CS (a military-grade 'tear gas' agent) over its area of effect. CS will cause irritation to all exposed mucous membranes leading to temporary blindness and uncontrolled coughing. Like a LAM, gas grenades can be attached to any surface.
Usage
While the gas grenade can be used as boobytrap, it is far more efficient to throw it inside a group of opponents, rendering them unable to harm you for a small duration. Since most bosses are vulnerable to these grenades, they can be used rather well in making them easy targets, or sneaking past them (for example King Kashue when you have to go to Despot's Apartment).
Be warned that you can take damage if you step inside the area of effect of these grenades. Use a gas mask if you want to get close to an enemy inside the area of effect (for example to disable them with the riot prod).
A note of warning about the usage: In the original Deus Ex, if the player knocked out an NPC inside a gas cloud, it left them unconscious. This is unfortunately not true in TNM. A knocked out NPC left inside a gas cloud for a small duration is going to die. So best wait until the gas has vanished. NPCs continue to rub their eyes and cough for a small duration of time after the gas has vanished, giving you a time window to safely knock them out.
