COD4 Desert Eagle
How do you unlock the Desert Eagle?
The Desert Eagle unlocks at Level 43 in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is COD4's hardest-hitting pistol, dealing 50 damage up close and 30 at its minimum range. It can secure a close two-shot body kill without Stopping Power and has strong hip-fire accuracy. Heavy recoil, seven rounds and no Silencer make paced shot placement essential. It does not take camo.
