Overview

The Desert Eagle is one of the most iconic sidearms in CS2, known for its unmatched stopping power and its ability to deliver one-shot kills with well-placed headshots. Boasting a large caliber and a semi-automatic firing mode, this pistol is a force to be reckoned with at both close and medium ranges. However, its considerable recoil and slower rate of fire make it less forgiving than other pistols. For players who can master its unique handling and pacing, the Desert Eagle serves as a lethal tool capable of changing the course of a game single-handedly.
