The Desert
Eagle, or Night Hawk .50C, as it was previously known, is one of the pistols featured in the Counter-Strike series.
It can be replaced with the R8 Revolver in Global Offensive.
Overview
The Desert Eagle, commonly nicknamed "Deagle" or "Hand
Cannon", is a powerful semi-automatic pistol for highly skilled players.
It is available to both teams. It is loaded with 7 rounds of .50 Action Express which
makes it able to inflict high amounts of damage.
The Desert Eagle is usually one of the most popular and widely used sidearms in
the Counter-Strike games. Currently
in Counter-Strike: Global
Offensive, it costs $700 as opposed to $650 for the previous
versions. Until Global Offensive, this pistol was the only one capable of
killing an opponent with one headshot, regardless if he is equipped with a helmet
or not.
The Desert Eagle is the only weapon in the pistol class with high penetration,
making it possible to score double kills in one shot if opponents are lined
up.The movement speed of this weapon is 250 units per second, meaning users
will not suffer any speed reduction. However, in Global Offensive, it has
a movement speed of 230 units per second, which is a moderate speed reduction.
As such, the Desert Eagle has the second slowest movement speed of all pistols,
with a faster movement speed over the R8 Revolver.
