A large-framed, gas-operated pistol chambered in .44 Magnum. Popularized by late 20th century action movies, this respectable weapon has earned a reputation for firepower and an enduring popularity.[1] The fact that it can load high powered cartridges due to it being gas operated certainly helped.
A veritable relic, the Desert Eagle in .44 still features its original nickel finish. It's one of the earlier models, easily distinguished by its distinctive teardrop shape.
Gameplay attributes[]
Excellent pistol that's only outclassed by the 14mm pistol and even then, only because of the bugged ammunition modifiers. The fact that it holds a few more bullets gives it just enough edge to make it competitive. For a pistol-based gunman, it will likely last until the .223 pistol.
