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

-The Desert Eagle (commonly called the Deagle) is a high-powered [[Weapons|pistol]] available to both teams in [[Counter-Strike 2]]. It is the most iconic pistol in the franchise, capable of one-shot headshots against helmeted opponents — a feat shared only with the [[R8 Revolver]] among pistols.

+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 ==
-At $700, the Desert Eagle is the most expensive pistol in CS2. Its power justifies the cost: 53 base damage with 93.2% armor penetration means it can kill a helmeted opponent with a single headshot at virtually any range. This makes the Desert Eagle a potent option on [[Economy System|eco rounds]] and force buys, giving the wielder a chance to win duels against fully equipped opponents.
+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.
-The trade-off is extreme recoil between shots, a small 7-round magazine, and poor accuracy while moving. The Desert Eagle rewards patience and precision — miss your shots, and you are left vulnerable.

-== Usage Tips ==
+[[Category:Pistols]]
-* The Desert Eagle can one-shot headshot helmeted opponents, making it lethal on eco and force-buy rounds.
-* Stand still when shooting — the Deagle is extremely inaccurate while moving.
-* Wait for the recoil to reset between shots. Spamming shots will result in wild inaccuracy.
-* With only 7 rounds, every shot counts. Take your time and aim for the head.
-* The Deagle is strongest at medium to long range where its headshot capability can be fully leveraged.
-* At close range, consider body shots — two quick body shots can be more reliable than going for the head.
-== Competitive Meta ==
-The Desert Eagle is the most purchased pistol on eco and force-buy rounds across all levels of play. Its ability to one-shot helmeted opponents makes it the great equalizer, capable of swinging rounds that would otherwise be heavily favored for the buying team. Many highlight-reel plays in professional Counter-Strike feature the Desert Eagle.
