Recommended answers & common pitfalls
What works
- Corruption spell — short cooldown, turns the Deadeye against its own faction, then deals 100 damage at spell-end (one-shots it).
- Long Ranger / Sheriff Star for clean burst kills at sniper range.
- Any single-target precision joker.
Common pitfalls
- Letting two Deadeyes share a sight line — the game caps active locks at 2, but that still chunks half your HP per cycle.
- Trying to out-DPS a locked-on Deadeye instead of breaking the lock — the shot ignores your DPS race.
- Ignoring the audio cue. The laser is the only tell on noisy maps.
Weak spot
Jetpack — counts as the weak point for concentrated fire. Any single bullet stuns the Deadeye for 1.5 s and cancels the lock-on.
