Desert Eagle

Overview
The Desert Eagle, or Deagle, is a powerful Magnum-like handgun found in the Canals. It can be compared to the Magnum in power, but the Desert Eagle can be fired much faster, sports a laser sight, is nearly as accurate (if not more so), reloads faster, and is more powerful. Essentially, the Desert Eagle is an upgrade to the Magnum in every way. However, unlike the Magnum, the Desert Eagle can only be found once.

Acquisition
The Desert Eagle can be found in Water Hazard, in a dumpster next to a Metrocop-controlled outpost. To get into the dumpster, the player can climb up a ladder attached to the side of the dumpster. The Desert Eagle is lying near the center of the rubbish inside, near an item crate.

If it is missed there, the Desert Eagle cannot be found again.

Advantages
-Very powerful; can kill an Ace in two shots.

-Very accurate.

-It has a bright laser sight, which can make targeting easier without iron sights.

Disadvantages
-Easy to miss for players that don't check around much.

-Uses the moderately rare magnum ammo.

-Lacks a crosshair without the laser sight.

-Mediocre reload speed.

-Small magazine size.

-It can only be found once.

Tactics
-Use the Desert Eagle carefully, as it's ammo is hard to come by.

-The Desert Eagle is very effective against heavier enemies; Augmented enemies drop quite easily from just a few headshots.

-If you're careful, the Desert Eagle can be used as a sort of pseudo-sniper rifle, due to it's remarkable accuracy and damage.

-Remember to turn on the laser sight with the secondary fire button; without it, you'll be stuck firing without a crosshair and you'll have to use iron sights for precise shots.

-Remember that the laser sight oddly turns itself off after a reload or after exiting iron sights.

-Pick your fights carefully. The Desert Eagle has a small magazine and reloads fairly slowly. Get to cover if you need to reload; you don't want to get caught with your pants down.
