On the kill-share radar it sits behind the P2000, the most-used weapon in the class, making it easy to see at a glance how the Desert Eagle stacks up against every other Pistol.

The DPS comparison chart rates its theoretical output at 236 damage per second, 5th of 10 Pistols and behind the Dual Berettas at 317 DPS. On the spec charts it reads as a balanced Pistol, with a 267 RPM fire rate and 93.2% armor penetration measured against the rest of the class. The cost comparison marks it the priciest Pistol at $700, a buy that demands a healthy bankroll to justify.
