Does anybody actually take Eagle Eyes?

[Lo-fi Longcat]

I don't think I've seriously ever picked Eagle Eyes in my times of playing nuclear throne. Is there something I'm missing?

[Shyyni]

I sometimes pick it up, only if i get a minigun or a strong-low accuracy weapon early on, Also helps with negating steroids accuracy penalty

[Momoplsnono]

I take it when I'm playing as steroids or when I use weapons like triple machine gun. It decreases the spread of the weapon you use which makes it useful for some runs.

[Victor Ray A.K.A The Rain]

Only If I'm doing a minigun run, and even then I usually want the heavy spread...I think the only mutations I pick less are Long Arms and Extra Feet.

Eagle Eyes + Wave Gun = Normal shotgun. It sucks

[xoxogrim]

I usually take it in Steroids runs, and my random button seems to random Steroids 60% of the time.

If I get a triple machinegun or an SMG early on I'll sometimes pick eagle eyes, but not if it appears in later levels. I also value eagle eyes a lot more if I'm playing steroids, but it's a pretty low pick for me overall.

[Trichter Alexander Hold]

Honestly, it's good with most late game weapons, makes auto crossbow accurate, great with miniguns, makes shotguns way better, etc.

I take it when playing as Steroids. Worst mutation in the game otherwise, as far as I'm concerned. Useless.

Gamma guts is even more poop.

Nah man. Gamma guts + Fish's throne butt is fun

It's been long since I decided that it doesn't justify mutation point. Switching to a proper gun fixes it all, instead wasting point for EEyes. Even with Steroids, a minigun at close range is great.

I wish EEyes changed, my suggestion was that it also made deflectable projectiles not deflect from Shielders/Vault Guardians.

Eagle Eyes + Back Muscle + Recycle Gland + Triple Machine Gun = Unstoppable mutant of death

[GreenOne]

Yes, that is very effective, I had doublte TMG and all that with Steroids and it was incredible.
But it's still very limited, way too occasional mutation, I think it's lacking something.

[PantSingular]

I never take it because I consider it a nerf for crowd controlling spread weapons.
Super crossbow for instance is then better for high value targets but there's not enough of them to really justify that strength.

Yes, agree about that, though when I used the argument people told that side strafing can fix it, but still I think I'd rather keep spread. Really only SMG needs the mutation much and TMG turns into a beast, but SMG is something you drop soon and TMG is good as is.
