Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle (commonly called the Deagle) is the most powerful pistol in CS2. It can one-shot headshot enemies at any range, even through helmets.
Overview
The Desert Eagle is a semi-automatic heavy pistol dealing 63 base damage. A headshot against a helmeted opponent is lethal at close-to-medium range. Its high recoil and slow fire rate demand precise aim.
Strategy
- Go for headshots — body shots require 3+ hits against armored opponents
- Wait for recoil to reset between shots
- Excellent eco-round weapon for its one-shot headshot potential
- Do not spam — accuracy drops dramatically with rapid fire
- Common force-buy choice due to its high skill ceiling
