- This article describes a Pixel Gun 3D weapon. If you're looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Desert Eagle (PGW).
The Desert Eagle, formerly the Black Python, is a Backup weapon that can be bought in the Armory.
Description
It is a standard black pistol that shoots regular bullets. It has average damage, high rate of fire, low capacity, and slightly low mobility.
Appearance
It is a standard pistol, with the base and the barrel being gold. The handle is a very dark shade of gold, with a thin layer of gold below it. In the 11.2.3 update, the Desert Eagle's model had a massive change, making it look almost identical to its real counterpart.
As of the 12.5.0 update, it looks identical to its final upgrade, like all weapons that are upgradable and had a different appearance for each upgrade.
Performance
This pistol, being held in the player's right hand, shoots out regular bullets with instant bullet travel time. This weapon's accuracy decreases when spraying and praying and it can be used best in close to medium range. However, this weapon does possess a 2x zoom optic sight, which allows it to fight in a longer range.
When reloading, the player takes out the magazine and replaces it with another one, then triggers the bolt. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- Try to use it in smaller maps to compensate for its high recoil and wide spread.
- Use it to finish off your weakened targets.
- Upgrade this weapon so this outclassed-looking weapon will be more usable in higher levels.
- Aim for the head to maximize the damage done to enemies.
- To benefit more, it's recommended to equip the max Backup DPS booster setup.
- This weapon is a strong backup firearm when your main weapon is out of ammo, as pulling it out is faster than reloading and allows to output more damage.
- Take cover when reloading, as this weapon does not have fast reload.
- This weapon is actually acceptable in higher levels as a budget pick. Just keep in mind its wide bullet spread when spam-fired and use it accordingly.
Counters
- Attack its users from a long-range or, when they have to reload.
- Use weapons with a superior fire rate and/or damage to counter the user.
- Avoid engaging combat on a user especially when you have low armor or health.
- Using this weapon yourself may fit the bill.

Equipment Setups
