Core Mechanics
Deadeye is a very simple character at first glance but actually has a great depth. He also boasts huge damage output. Here are his core skills and mechanics that you will want to use.
Active Abilities
- Ravager: An assault rifle that can be fired full-auto. Aim down the sights to increase its accuracy.
- Rifle Grenade: A grenade round that explodes on impact.
- Dive Dodge: Performs an evasive roll. Use [W][A][S][D] to change direction.
- Thrust Attack: A powerful strike that knocks back enemies. Charge to increase impact and range.
- OD: Cluster Salvo: Deploys multiple heavy weapons built into your armor that unleash overwhelming firepower straight ahead
Mechanics
Most players charge the Thrust Attack for 2 seconds to fully maximize its damage. However, this attack can be fully charged with only 1 second, indicated with your arms lighting up.
Moreover, this attack deals two forms of damage. You will hit Shockwave damage when enemies are relatively close but not in direct hit of your first. Direct damage on the other hand is as its name implies, when they are directly hit with your fist. This attack also deals bonus damage.
Modules
Modules are collectable items that are used to upgrade Exosuits. Each Exosuit has a total of 3 slots for modules, each slot allowing a different type. Slot 1 allows Suit type modules; Slot 2 allows Action (α), and Slot 3 allows Action (β). Base modules can be used in any slot.
Suit Module
Damage Chain – landing consecutive hits with Ravager increases base damage by 25%
Recharger – slightly reduces cooldown time for Rifle Grenade and Thrust Attack when landing hits with the ravager. Time reduced varies according to the enemy type.
Action (α) – Blue
Shot Grenade – increases projectile speed and makes it fly on a straighter path. Increases base direct hit damage by 20%.
Piercing Thrust – increases base Thrust Attack damage by 40% and increases knockback distance of nearby enemies hit by a charged Thrust Attack.
Action (β) – Yellow
Reload Dodge – modifies Dive Dodge performance. Automatically reloads weapon upon use.
Dive Dodge+ – modifies Dive Dodge performance. Reduces flinching upon use. Temporarily increases defense upon use. Increases dodge distance.
Builds
Here are our recommended builds for Deadeye. Whether you’re looking forward to killing dinosaurs, big or small in the PvE or shooting other players in the PvP. Let’s jump right into it!
Player vs Player (PvP)
For PvP, the recommended Modules are Damage Chain, Shot Grenade and Dive Dodge+.
Damage Chain on the first slot as you’d spend more time shooting than using your grenades or thrust attack against other players. This is also very helpful against tank shields. Shot Grenade for long, precise poking abilities, and interrupt revives and objectives. Finally, Dive Dodge gives longer dodge distance and 50% damage reduction is very useful when against other players.
Player vs Environment (PvE)
Our recommended Modules for PvE are Recharger, Piercing Thrust and Reload Dodge.
This combination of modules deals as much damage as possible thru constant use of grenade launcher and thrust attacks. The Piercing Thrust module is very helpful against the dinosaurs because you will have higher chance of staggering them and exposing their weak points. Furthermore, the cooldown reduction will be very helpful as there will be overwhelming hordes in the later stages of the game.
Overall, Deadeye is a beginner friendly and strong Exosuit that is capable of doing a variety of skills that can be used in every type of situation. And this wraps everything you need to know if you want to master Deadeye in Exoprimal. If you have questions or concerns, make sure to leave them in the comments section below.
