Desert Eagle

From CSWiki

Alternate name: Night Hawk .50C

The IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX .50 AE, nicknamed the Deagle, is one of the pistols in the Counter-Strike series. It has the most raw power of any pistol in the game, making it a very useful sidearm, no matter the playing style. It costs $650.

[edit] Tactics

The Deagle is widely considered to be the most powerful pistol in the game, especially in competitive gameplay in which the deagle is the only pistol used other than the default pistols. The main attraction of the Desert Eagle is its high damage per shot, which is even higher than that of the AK-47, allowing the deagle to kill in a single headshot except in very long ranges. The Desert Eagle is the only pistol in the game able to shoot through walls. The price of $650 is very lenient for a weapon that is arguably better than many weapons that are two or even three times the cost.

The main disadvantages is its small ammo capacity (7 rounds with 35 in reserve) which means that good accuracy is necessary to conserve ammo.

[edit] Trivia

  • The Deagle in CS, CSCZ and CSS is somehow small and compact looking. In real life, the Deagle is chunky and heavy. It is most likely to take up less of the screen so you can see more around you.
  • The Mark XIX comes in 3 colours: Chrome Silver, Black Finish(used in Deleted Scenes) and Golden(in Counter Strike Online)
