Strategy Guide[]

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.

Weapon ID[]

Deadeye DMR is referred to as Cherry Smoke DMR in the files.

  • Common: WID_CherrySmoke_DMR_Athena_C
  • Uncommon: WID_CherrySmoke_DMR_Athena_UC
  • Rare: WID_CherrySmoke_DMR_Athena_R
  • Epic: WID_CherrySmoke_DMR_Athena_VR

Trivia[]

  • The description states that the Deadeye DMR is a "fast firing precision rifle". This however, is not true, as its the 4th slowest Marksman Rifle in the game, being slower than the DMR.
  • Deadeye DMR's scope is considered a Weapon Mod, likely to allow Canting.
    • The scope's internal name is Optic Cherry Smoke and is based on the P2X Optic, even reusing its icon.
    • This also means that the weapon will lose its scope when placed in interactable objects in Creative, like an Item Placer.
  • When obtaining a Deadeye DMR from a chest in Creative, it has a pre-modded weapon name tag like "Stealthy Spotter."
