Does the Deagle worth it?

[Capitão Salame]

Hey, thank you for coming here, can you answer me some questions? Does the Deagle worth it? Deagle vs Bronco, which is better? Should i buy one of them?

[Brovah]

Deagle by far. Bronco is 6 rounds with 70-80 damage fully modded. Deagle is only a few DP below it but has more rounds and if you have the tech skill you can have something like 31 rounds in the magazine. Plus with the slide and monolith supressor it falls just short of the Thanatos Sniper rifle.

Deagle is for stealth. Silence it and it will one shot guards every time. You'll avoid issues with the Loco hitting glass behind guards

Any gun one shot guards.

Go with the bronco, more powerful. Anyway if you wanna be really efficient only use pistols with the mastermind skills for it.

I have a Deagle with a long barrel, flash hider and Acough scope on it, it's my pocket sniper, it's better imo.

The bronco is a real handcannon,and thanks to its slower rate of fire you won't end emptying your ammo pool in few seconds.

But personally i'd go for the deagle,stylish and powerfull.

With headshots, sure. I'm not talking about that, obviously.

In stealth,every guard dies after 1 shot.BUT,if he spotted you,you'll need more shots

2 broncos:
-1st: maximum dmg n stuff (still lower than 12 acc sux. dont know "best" stats atm)
-2nd: maximum concealment: in case of heavy mm (pistol messiah) stealth (that might ♥♥♥♥ up)
(quite likely that even as heavy mm going stealth a decent modded dmg+stealth-non-silencer car4 + maximum conceal-silencer-swedish-k is better (personally, dont like pistols that much))

3 deagles:
-1st: maximum dmg with decent acc
-2nd: maximum conceal + silencer (rolls well with the above mentioned car4-non-silenced-good-concealed (use of that: in case of stealth ♥♥♥♥ up, u can switch to a 45dmg 12-16acc assault rifle, so the "real" use of the secondary is the silencer) (depends on your car4 but u should roll out with 9-19 detection rate without armor, without ghost-stuff (too lazy to check my stats))
-3rd: maximum dmg with silencer: in case of: u only need the silencer for "some time" but it will go loud anyway/quite likely


still with those +5-6 locos, 3-4 kobus + 3 para´s + 2 swedish k + 2 mp5´s u can buy every other secondary available (most of them suck atm (in comparison (or u like weird fire ratios))) at least one time, so when u get bored during overkill stuff u can play with some lesser used stuff.


oh ya going by ammo, both (30 bullets (unskilled) is MORE than enough for any stealth-mission. also: when a guard spots u, during stealth there is no need of saving ammo, so just nail his face to the wall... also his body, feet, arms and be sure to bounce his helmet/hat around cause... why not.

also: if stealth ♥♥♥♥♥ up and your crew didnt bring ammo, use both your guns. mostly your non-silenced car4 but dont waste (kinda) 50% of the ammo-pickups if your secondary if a heavy hitter like a deagle or bronco (speaking non-dw).

oh yeah car4: have at least 3. since... a long time ago i have 6. 1 or 2 are mostly "just" for one mission (rats d3 covering) but ya... enough slots available so whatever

The Bronco is more efficient as it out performs the deagle in damage per shot and each gun only has thirty rounds overall. But the deagle is not without its merits. The deagle can be silenced and one-shot guards in stealth and serves as a decent backup if things go loud. Additionally, it's higher magazine capacity is more forgiving if you miss a shot or two. Personally, I only use the deagle when attempting stealth but that's jus one heister's opinion.

[Scythe]

just preferences
Celestrian said most of them

[Internet_Hero]

Bronco, hands down.

[dx5231]

If it had more rounds, I'd say deagle was better. Higher magazine? Pfffff you'll probably empty that in a few seconds as soon as you're surrounded and you start panicking. Able to attach a laser sight? Why even bother, you shouldn't even be hip firing this weapon because of the absurdly low amount of ammo it has.

Bronco outperforms the deagle in almost every single aspect. The only good thing about the deagle is that you can attach a silencer to it, but IMO you're better off with a different weapon, depending on your skills.

[Capitão Salame]

Ok, thanks everybody for the opinios, but you think i should buy the Deagle? (not even asking for the bronco, it is so cheap)

For straight up combat, you'll get a lot more total damage and ammo efficiency from the Bronco. However, the Desert Eagle is better for short-term damage output with no long-term efficieny at all.

Neither of these two should be used as tools to kill normal units all the time due to their poor ammo efficieny, but rather as more special circumstance weapons. Namely for taking out special units or to take out that one cop for Pistol Messiah.

For stealth, a Desert Eagle is a good weapon due to its high damage, suppressor attachment and high concealment, as illogical as that is. Though a Swedish-K can be made far superior as a concealment boosting secondary to take a suppressed primary weapon.

The Bernetti is a great all-round pistol there is, and most versatile. Offering great accuracy, good damage, a large magazine and a huge ammo pool, when upgraded. Gruber Kurz is the same, only trading mag capacity for slightly better damage.

The Stryk and Chimano Custom are good close range weapons for high DPS with low accuracy.

The Interceptor trades some of Bernetti's damage for accuracy, if modded correctly.

The Crosskill and Signature.40 is a good mix for special killing and cop killing. but comes at a reduced ammo efficiency.

If you don't possess the 50% damage/reload improvements from the Mastermind tree, neither the Deagle or Bronco are really worth it for loud missions (which I assume you are talking about, since the Bronco is useless for stealth missions).
They aren't bad guns without the Mastermind skills, but SMGs/Loco will simply serve you better.

If you do own the Mastermind skills, I personally recommend the Bronco. The Deagle may have a much larger magazine size, but the 6 shots per reload from the Bronco aren't really a problem with the 50% faster reload speed.
More importantly, the Bronco manages to hit 100 damage, which is an important number for OVK jobs.
Doing 100 damage per shot allows you to one-shot Cloakers on OVK and if there is one thing in this game you want to get rid of as fast as possible, it's (charging) Cloakers.
