The Deagle in SkillWarz is a high-damage, semi-automatic secondary handgun unlocked immediately at Rank 0. It delivers a devastating 140 damage at close range, giving players reliable one-shot kill potential against standard 100 HP opponents before tapering down to 60 damage at extreme distances.
Because of its heavy stopping power, the weapon functions as a finishing tool or a viable standalone sidearm when paired with recoil-mitigating perks.
SkillWarz Deagle Base Stats and Damage Profile
The Deagle fires in semi-automatic mode at approximately 300 rounds per minute (RPM). It ships with a default magazine size of 7 rounds and 21 rounds held in reserve.
In developer discussions and gameplay testing documented by player impossybull, the pistol features an aggressive damage curve that favors close-quarters duels:
| Metric | In-Game Value | Details / Source Context |
|---|---|---|
| Unlock Requirement | Rank 0 | Available immediately to all players |
| Default Loadouts | Assault, Specialist, Commando | Secondary weapon slot |
| Firing Mode | Semi-Automatic | Tested at ~300 RPM |
| Magazine Capacity | 7 rounds | 10 rounds with Extended Mags perk |
| Starting Reserve Ammo | 21 rounds | 3x reserve when using Extra Ammo perk |
| Close-Range Damage | 140 damage | Out to 25 meters |
| Long-Range Damage | 60 damage | Begins at 60 meters |
| Damage Falloff | Linear drop | Scales evenly from 140 down to 60 between 25m and 60m |
| 1-Shot Kill Range (Torso) | ~43m vs 100 HP / ~32m vs 125 HP | Forum analysis confirmed by game admin impossybull |
| Full Reload Time | 2.4 seconds | Time until firing can resume normally |
| Reload Cancel Window | 1.8 seconds | Ammo counter updates; can cancel via melee or vaulting |
At distances under 25 meters, the Deagle can eliminate an unarmored player with a single shot to the torso or upper legs. Beyond 60 meters, the base damage drops to 60, meaning the Deagle cannot secure a one-shot kill at extreme ranges even with a headshot against a full-health target.
Reload Timings and Cancel Mechanics
The standard reload duration for the Deagle is 2.4 seconds from the moment the reload animation begins until the weapon is ready to fire again.
However, the weapon features an advantageous reload cancel window at roughly 1.8 seconds. At this timestamp, the HUD magazine counter in the bottom-right corner refreshes to full. Once this number changes, players can cancel the remainder of the reload animation by initiating a melee strike or mantling over an obstacle. This shaves approximately 0.6 seconds off the downtime.
Optical Attachments and Camouflage Options
The Deagle possesses substantial visual kick and recoil when fired continuously. To assist with target tracking, the game offers two specific optical attachments in addition to default iron sights:
- Mini RDS: A compact micro red dot optic providing a clean target housing.
- FF Mini RDS: The Fast Fire Mini RDS variant, offering an alternative reticle frame.
- Iron Sights: Standard factory sights. Testing shows iron sights require the weapon to settle fully between shots to align the front post, whereas red dot sights allow earlier visual re-acquisition.
For cosmetics, Baltverge Games provides several built-in camos for the Deagle, including Gold, Dark Viper, Urban, and Silver Mist. Community modders and top-tier competitors can also load custom skins (such as Cobalt Disruption) into their local files, though custom skin usage in-game requires finishing in the Top 100 on the seasonal leaderboard during the preceding season.
Best Perk Synergies for the Deagle
Because the Deagle suffers from high kick and limited magazine capacity, specific perks directly counter its weaknesses:
- Strong Arms (Rank 7): Cuts weapon recoil roughly in half and removes sniper scope sway. On the Deagle, this significantly tightens rapid-fire grouping and makes landing follow-up shots far easier.
- Extended Mags: Increases magazine size by 50% (rounded down). On the Deagle's base 7-round capacity, half is 3.5, rounding down to 3 bonus bullets for a total of 10 rounds per magazine. Note that Extended Mags does not grant extra starting reserve ammo on spawn.
- Fast Hands (Rank 2): Increases reload speed and weapon swap speed by 30%. This complements players using the Deagle as a panic secondary behind an assault rifle.
- Extra Ammo (Rank 12): Multiplies reserved ammo pools by 3x, boosting starting reserves from 21 rounds to 63 rounds.
- Sprinter (Rank 32): Increases sprinting speed by 15%, synergizing well with aggressive close-quarters pistol play.
Class Availability and Dedicated Game Modes
Under standard matchmaking rules, the Deagle serves as the secondary sidearm for the Assault, Specialist, and Commando loadouts. In the standalone Steam Mode progression system, players can pair it within three customizable class layouts.
For dedicated sidearm matches, SkillWarz patch v1.29 added specific weapon presets to Gun Game and custom playlists, including a "Deagle Only" preset alongside options like Recon Only and Pistols Only.

Yes. Within 25 meters, the Deagle deals 140 damage, instantly eliminating a player at standard 100 HP even on torso or upper leg hits. Against players with the Extra Health perk (125 HP), forum testing confirms it remains a one-shot torso kill out to roughly 32 meters.

Extended Mags increases the Deagle's magazine capacity from 7 rounds to 10 rounds. The game calculates 50% of 7 (3.5) and rounds down to 3 additional rounds.
At what rank do you unlock the Deagle in SkillWarz?
The Deagle is unlocked at Rank 0 and comes readily equipped in several default classes, including Assault and Commando.
