Identity & Gameplay

Enhanced Weapon Deadeye uses all three of his stances, but most of his damage comes from Shotgun skills. In exchange, Handgun and Rifle skills provide exceptional mobility and utility, as well as back-up damage skills.

Swapping stances grants you the following effects:

  • +23% Crit Rate
  • +14% Crit Damage

It's important to note that your Shotgun skills must be used in close proximity to the enemy, otherwise they lose a significant portion of their damage potential.

All attacks with a Back Attack affix receive +10% Crit Rate and +5% Damage when they land on the target's back-side indicator. It is important to position yourself accordingly as much as possible to take advantage of this.

Deadeye Identity

Gunslinger Deadeye 682 X 506
Arsenal

This build focuses on maneuvering around the target in order to consistently find yourself behind them, in close range, to take advantage of your Shotgun skills' close shot attribute. When forced to disengage, you can shift to Handgun and Rifle skills to keep attacking.

Rotation

Priority Order

  • While this build does not have a specific rotation, using skills in the order presented above is recommended when you first engage the enemy. Due to the chaotic nature of encounters, you may have to improvise and adapt as the fight goes on.
  • Try your best to maintain your Synergy using AT02 Grenade and Spiral Tracker, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.

Stagger Check

  • Using skills in this specific order is recommended for short stagger checks. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!

Gems

Gems are another significant aspect of your build, as they directly impact the damage and cooldowns of your skills. You can equip up to 11 gems at a time. Here are the ones you should focus on to maximize this build's potential, listed according to their priority.
