Desert Eagle-Born Beast

Desert Eagle-Born Beast is a VVIP pistol variant of Desert Eagle.

Overview

This is the first secondary VVIP weapon released, a unique Desert Eagle variant with the same Born Beast skin as the M4A1-S Born Beast and comes with a tactical dagger. As a VVIP gun, it features benefits for both wielder and other players in the same room. The Born Beast variant has greater power, a faster rate of fire, a faster drawing speed and a faster reloading time than the regular Desert Eagle. The magazine capacity is 11 rounds per magazine (10 if traded to another player).

The secondary attack swings the dagger upward for a quick stab. It is as powerful and fast as the M4A1-VIP's buttstock attack but possesses a very short range (needs to be practically next to the target). The gun's drawing animation consists of the soldier swinging the dagger and gun at the same time across the screen, slaying any foe that is in the way. It has the same range as the secondary attack as well.

Trivia

This is the first weapon and VVIP pistol that comes in two different pieces, thus it comes with two different killmarks as well.
D.E-Born Beast is one of the cheapest Victor VVIP weapons available comparing to other VVIP weapons, mostly owing to its low VVIP perks and the fact that it's a secondary weapon. However, because of its Born Beast skin, it is classified as Victor weapon instead of Noble.
Like other Born Beast weapons, this gun releases a dragon breath sound when reloading.
Originally when first released, among all VVIP weapons, D.E-Born Beast has the least improvement over its original counterpart, only slightly faster and with drawing/secondary attack perks. It also reloads much slower than D.E-Camo (China and West).
- This was fixed in a very next update patch, boosting D.E-Born Beast's reload speed to the same level as its Camo counterpart.
Again, this gun was overpriced in CF Vietnam, having the same price as AWM Infernal Dragon and well above Thompson-ID / RPK-ID and M4A1-S Jewelry. The only reason VTC could charge such a high price is that D.E Born Beast was the only Secondary VVIP available, allowing players to stuff 7 of them into their bag for maximum EXP bonus (Much like the Kukri Beast). It still doesn't fit for its price as now it's heavily competed by Raging Bull-Gun Knife (and more pistols in the future).
In CF Vietnam, DE Born Beast appears to have a serious glitch during the update test process, that it adds 20 rounds to all pistols instead of just 1. This is because a coding error applies the ammo bonus counter from RPK-Infernal Dragon to DE Born Beast - the same thing happened with Thompson-ID before (Adding only +2 instead of +7, albeit the glitch was overlooked for almost 3 months).
The gun's stab is one of the shortest ranged melee attacks in the game.
In real life, accurately shooting with a Desert Eagle .50AE in one hand while holding a knife in the other is very difficult, due to the D.E's great recoil that needs two hands to stabilize.
The way characters hold the knife is somewhat similar to the Harries technique, one of the modern shooting techniques invented by the ex-Marine Michael Harries.
Weapon skin seems to affect the color of VFX. When replaced with CFS 2017 skin, the blue VFX will become light blue, and when replaced with Prime skin, the color will become dark blue.
