This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Deadeye DMR is on the higher side when it comes to damage in the DMR category, while also firing the same projectiles as the Modular Huntress DMR, making the Deadeye DMR very powerful at range.
- Hitting headshots, or all your shots in general, is crucial with the Deadeye DMR, as it only has 10 rounds in its magazine, so every shot counts.
Counters[]
- Staying in close-to-mid range when engaged with an opponent wielding the Deadeye DMR can be beneficial, as the low fire rate and small magazine greatly reduce it's close-range effectiveness.
