Ghosts In Depth - Deadeye Perk Review (Damage & Probability)

[@FreedomExperiment]

Shotgun Deadeye test: If you see the red hit markers nearly every time you hit someone with most of a shots pellets, you can pretty much be sure that the game regards each pellet as an individual for the perk. Otherwise, you would see the Deadeye hit markers significantly less..., unless the game doesn't show them for some unknown reason.

[@sXeGod]

Minor error: You meant CBJ not DBJ. Not a big deal.

[@katsup_07]

The vector is great with it. It does 45 max damage and has the longest range for SMGs so your 3 shot kills turn into 2 shots kills. It also has one of the fastest fire rates in the game so when I use it almost every kill it shows up whether I'm on a kill streak or not. Of course 5 perk points is a lot. However, if you're playing aggressive, which you should be with an SMG, you can still use ready up, focus, and sit rep which are the most useful when rushing.

[@jh3496]

What happens if I use deadeye as my specialist 4th killstreak? Will I get 50% of the time increase or will it be 0?

[@jh3496]

By 0 I mean 12.5%

[@thedoc6413]

That’s my question.

[@gaaraofthefunk265]

[@GermanDudeEU]

[@Whendawnnevercomes]

Since I've started watching these in depths my skills in FPS have increased so much. I know how to make very solid classes now. Thanks Drift0r

[@Dragoonsoul7878]

For those of you who don't understand why this perk is so controversial I'll explain it quickly. This is complete random chance, which can reduce the number of hits required occasionally. This means that a noob who normally only gets 2 out of his 3 hits on a gun fight will now be able to occasionally kill people, and if he is lucky, get deadeye hits almost all the time. Meanwhile a pro player could have deadeye never hit. Think about losing a match because a lucky player got two deadeye hits in a row using the exact same weapon you were using and you got 3/4 with your weapon.

[@lordmew5]

so what you are saying is they should just bring back stopping power?

[@Dragoonsoul7878]

Or they could just not have deadeye/stopping power... Though if they had to have one or the other stopping power would technically be more balanced (at 5 points like deadeye) Honestly though, where do you get me saying stopping power should come back from? I was just showing and explaining why it is so controversial.

[@hiddenfog180]

Dragoonsoul7878 Really, there is nothing wrong with Deadeye. I personally think the perk is pretty much useless, and for what you have to do to earn it, it's not even worth the reward. I think you're overeacting a bit.

[@XierdanTV]

hiddenfog180 I would say it is not too overpowered or crazy. I think it not quite as useful as others are making it out to be.

[@nexus1g]

***** pRNG, which makes it worse.

[@MrCrushus]

Just as a tip, you should use dead eye in the specialist bonus, or as your second or third unlocked perk because you are already on a +4 kill streak and therefore recieve the 50% bonus' straight away, and can spawn in with a couple extra perks.

[@Baythoven851]

Not true. It's only as soon as you receive it. I have deadeye as my first specialist perk (6 kills) and it takes 1 to 2 kills for the deadeye shots to start rolling in. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to but uh... my gaming channel Convolution Gaming I have a few KEM gameplays where this exact problem takes place. I would suggest you going and checking it out. Again, you don't have to believe me if you don't want to... just from my experience, it's proven that it doesn't work that way.

[@Baythoven851]

***** I know I know... that's pretty much what it looks like. All I was trying to do was show him what I was talking about.

[@brainwasher9876]

it might be worth noting that deadeye is still somewhat useful to consider it as part of a specialist package because then you're getting kills for it rather than taking up your valuable perk slots...good luck getting that six kill requirement consistently in public matches though.

[@SuperChalkster]

Andrew Wang Hardline its 5 with 2 assists counting as a kill, skip perk 2 and 3. and receive specialist bonus at 7. Dropped a few Kems with it. Although I do mainly use assault.

[@Gr1zz3r]

the CBJ might actually be the worst gun to use deadeye on, for close range you will never need less than 3 shots to kill regardless of how many deadeye procs you get and at long range instead of the 6 shot kill (17 damage) you will only get a 5 shot kill with a minimum of 3 deadeye procs which is statistically unrealistic even at the full 50% probability (dont wanna be a douchebag here) its actually more useful on the high damage ARs since it bumps the AK or R5 damage up just high enough to go over 50 so you will 2 shot kill with only 1 deadeye proc, the single most usefull weapon to use it on though, is the m27-iar since no matter what range, as long as you get a single deadeye proc you will always kill with 1 shot less than usual

[@waynewaldron3145]

Agreed

[@benniebees]

if you assume that for 3 shot kill weapons (most weapons in cod games) 1 of the hits is a deadeye hit.(which is most likely in a 50% deadeye chance) then dmg+dmg+1.4*dmg > 100 3.4*dmg>100 dmg>100/3.4= 29.4117647059 all 3 shot weapons dealing more damage then this number (all 3 shot weapons obviously as they have to be > 33.34 dry)will have 1 shot less to kill

[@S1eth]

You choose 3 perks that unlock one by one. You then select 8 poiunts worth of perks that unlock once you get specialist bonus. When you get that depends on the 3 perks you selected. If the first perk costs X points, you need X + 1 kill for it, then Y + 1 additional for the 2nd perk which costs Y points, Z + 1 for the 3rd perk and then 2 more for specialist bonus.

[@RotoGluOn]

Hi Drift0R, I have a technical question for you about deadeye : If you use it as your first specialist streak, will it already be fully triggered (because you will have already done like 5 kills to get it) or do you have to get the kills AFTER getting it to make it fully working ? Regards.

[@Drainion2]

the cjb-ms. WE NEED THIS GUN

[@Drainion2]

and dbj

[@RogueGhost24]

I'm usually more inclined to agree with Driftor. I find this very useful for sniping as it increases 1 shot kill probability, and increases your odds of dealing a one shot through cover. It helps any sniper with a silencer achieve greater number of one shots, and the bolt action rif les become both more accurate and more damaging with every kill. It is very helpful when dealing with juggernauts and ballistic vests. This perk works great in conjunction with anything that increases damage, range, and/or penetration. Because of the power increase, deadeye will essentially increase your gun's range which means that deadeye's effectiveness IS NOT solely dependent on the whole 42-49 damage argument. It is also very good at negating the silencer's negative effect on range. I'm about 90% sure that using hardline bumps you up to the 1 kill level of increased damage chance at your spawn. This is a very good video though I intend for this info to be supplemental. Happy hunting! >:-) Edit: There are some guns where you will receive far less of a bonus for using this perk. The SVU is a prime example. The damage is as follows: 68-52, 1.56x for head and neck. Since the min damage is so high, all it does is increase damage done through cover and that deadeye headshots will kill instantly at any range. Deadeye might not be coded correctly with snipers as well. I've received exactly two deadeye hit markers with the L115 which should not be possible. They're exceedingly rare.

[@RookyHValley]

I respect and appreciate people who post videos like this and give the time to help other players if there bad or good. I did not know about Deadeye. I've seen stopping power way back on WatW. Loved it. Though Now I understand why 2-3 shots from guns that are unlikely to kill you that fast even with Ballistic vest on. Maybe its lag or its the deadeye.. Thanks Drift0r! For the video of course.

[@conormcdaddyofficialdickri2383]

This perk earned me my first & only KEM Strike.

[@grantkincaid4568]

The app was showing that I was typing you're with 3 and 6 and &....whatever-you're the man, and keep doing what you do.

[@DayWarrior6]

There should be a perk for one shot kill headshots. (or as an add-on to FMJ to make it worth using on SMGs and pistols)

[@firebrightinferno1018]

It affects Shotgun damage per pellet. Although the red hit indicator may not show up sometimes when using a shotgun with Deadeye, it is still likely that the shot was affected by the perk. Using deadeye with a shotgun will increase one-shot kill range, so long as slugs aren't used, due to the higher damage in some pellets

[@FozzieOzbourne]

ghosts actually seems like a halfway balanced game, the only thing im worried about is danger close. kinda scary to see they brought that back and cant wait to see the in depth for danger close

[@BlackStarKamehama]

When he mentions the effect of it on shotguns, it makes me think of The Bee/Conference Call shotgun combo on Borderlands 2 about how the amp damage is divided among the pellets.

[@WoRMaSTeR64]

Dead Eye is actually very usefull on the Honey Badger since it has a base damage of 42. 42 x 1,4 = 58,80 which makes it a 2 shot kill whenever the Dead Eye perk kicks in within the first 2 bullets you hit.

[@engineerskalinera]

deadeye = random critical hits

[@dominicgrimes2075]

Can't tell you how happy I am to see a new series from you on my home feed. Great video, drift.

[@MrCadfish]

Holy crap never seen such a high like per view ratio before, well done Drift0r

[@jckulewsky]

Just a hint for some people about when to use deadeye: DO NOT start with deadeye! Instead, start with hardline, and a 3 point perk. Then, make deadeye your first killstreak. This is important because the specialist pack's initial 3 killsttreaks are NOT POINT DEPENDENT. This setup gives you the most economical setup by far and only sacrifices 1 kill.

[@TheCreatorClub149]

Thing is, in previous CoD's, whenever there was stopping power, everyone would run it so making it pointless because it would be no class points. So unless you were doing challenges, Perk 2 was useless

[@hecticj93]

[@thelolzyone6582]

7:28 Best used with Specialist and lots of other persk! just lettin ya know about a little misspell....

[@Treblaine]

I'd say it's most equivalent to getting a headshot. That is also a 1.4x multiplier and we're used to the idea of only 1 out of so many shots being one. It's easiest to calculate the significance for weapons that do 42-49 damage, those are 3 hit kill, but if either the first or second shot gets the deadeye-bonus then it's a 2 hit kill. If both the 1st and 2nd shot are without DEB (DeadEye Bonus) then it doesn't matter if the third shot does get it, they'd die anyway. So, what's the probability? Well it's the null probability for BOTH of the first two shots being WITHOUT the DEB. Remember, need the probability of either being DEB, or even both, to get the benefit. The results, probability of it being 2 hit kill for weapons that do 49-42hp damage: 0 kills = 23.4% 1 kill = 30.56% 2 kills = 55.55% 3 kills = 64% 4 kills = 75% However you have to balance this with how if you simply get good at headshots you'd get the same. This may be most viable with the Specialist Strike Package as the bonuses jsut aren't worth having till a higher killstreak. But then you'd need 6 kills or kill equivalents to unlock Deadeye. Frankly this perk is just not worth it, you can already get that 2 hit kill (or for magnum, 1-hit machine) just getting good and aiming for the head.

[@RenAI98]

think a huge deciding factor for deadeyes power is its effect on shotguns, so plz get it to us as soon as you find out

[@MrGolferguy22]

1 deadeye bullet will... Reduce the number of bullets to kill from 3 to 2 for the following damage range (49-42) Reduce the number of bullets to kill from 5 to 4 for the following damage range (24-23) Reduce the number of bullets to kill from 6 to 5 for the following damage range (only 19) All other ranges will need more than 1 blindeye bullet to reduce the number of bullets to kill. Guns that have maximum and minimum damages within these ranges will easily be the most effective.

[@kirkjohnson1034]

I was shot in the knee today playing ghosts. I was shot by a 44.magnum in hunted. I saw the red pop up as it does when the perk works. This just shows how good it is.

[@SevenScootering]

its amazing if you use deadeye and the vector, it makes the vector do 108 damage in 2 shots if 1 of them is a deadeye shot. So basically, if you're on a killstreak with the vector you can murder people instantly in 2 shots at close range. (most of the time) And since it's a 50% chance, math says that most of the time 1 of your 2 shots will be a dead eye shot.

[@SouBU95]

In my opinion, if they're going to have a randomized stopping power there should be a randomized juggernaut of the same point value. You can't have one without the other. Putting it in the same tier with the same point value and probability rates would balance it out for sure.

[@gretamaromba2627]

On shotguns, the critical chance and increased damage is applied to each pellet *individually.*

[@Drift0r]

I know. But I didn't want to delve into probabilistic analysis for this video. The other way gets the message across and on average (over a whole crapload of shots fired) it will be true.

[@TheGXDivider]

[@DmitryElizarov]

After that simplistic yet balanced structure of separating attachments and perks functions in BO2 I sort of thought we've stepped into an era of easily understandable and transparent CoD games mechanics. And here comes back the bored IW with their black magic, making us believe that damage of the bullets should be defined by a god damn perk like if it's Fallout. Also the post war theme dos not mean you can't have color and at least one solid wall with no human size holes in it, per map =/

anyone else notce that at 7:33 it says persk instead of perks

[@FabianR87321]

I like your videos and find them to be very informative. I just noticed a slightly confusing thing when you were going through the charts that you corrected later on. When you were at 0 kills you said there was a 12% chance of 1 of your bullets to be a dead eye bullet. Thats when I thought that this was meant per clip, which would be crazy low. But at 2 kills when you said that every 3rd bullet would be a dead eye bullet, it became clear.

[@XQuantumzXGaming]

Cant wait for the Magnum and Shotguns in Depths.

I stopped watching your videos at about that time because I was completely packed with University, but I would love to know how you are doing :) As I said, great video, I'm sure I can use a lot of these to improve my gameplay!

[@ltcolrayquaza]

+Darude- Sandstorm The M27 is a beast with this making kills 2-3 shots granted you get a single DEB on the first two or three shots at range. The Ameli is debateable as it won't bump you into a one hit kill even with a headshot but it will cut out one bullet at any range beyond it's two hit kill range. The Lsat is more or less good with the chances as you need two DEB bonuses at close range and long range to cut a bullet out not recommended. And lastly the Chain Saw only good at long range as you will never get a two shot kill even with two DEB unless you get a headshot or two in there however at rang one DEB will cut out a bullet.

[@Ninjapls]

They should just add stopping power back but as a weapon attachment. Lets say you get hollow tip ammo and it does more damage but the weapon loses its penetration so you cant shoot enemies behind thin cover, get collaterals, or damage armor. it would be a good way to balance it.

[@MadTwitchGaming]

Man Drift0r, I love all your tip videos :)

[@soullessphoenix]

What if you placed 2 people at a distance from the shotgun, if you can test while watching damage done on their screen, with positioning relatively equal. Shoot so they both take damage, and repeat this test, then you can see if they take roughly the same damage from deadeye hits, which would mean the entire spread gets bonus. If you shoot and they have different damage received consistantly on dead eye shots, then its a random pellet bonus. Just a thought on possible effects.

[@ShadowBaofu]

So the best way to describe is Stopping Power, but with a critical hit rate which increases the more kills you get?

[@rex101898]

Hey Drift0r, really loving the Ghost vids so far! I would really appreciate it if you would make a video about the stats pertaining to shotgun spreads when you are ADS and compare it to the spreads when not ADS.

[@isaiahling9716]

This perk is the best with specialist not a good perk to use primarily but trust me this perk combined with the ripper is pretty op nearly got a kem using this perk at a 18 kill streak

[@OhBlivEUn]

@Driftor I don't think the Vepr is useful with Deadeye as 35*1.4=49 whereas the Bizon, which has similar statistics, will benefit greatly with it's max 42 damage. It also kills in 5 shots instead of 6 at long range. The only benefit the Vepr will have is that it will be a 4hk at range instead of a 5hk. Since the Bizon needs more bullets at range, there is a higher probability of getting the Deadeye bonus while also giving the chance to have a 2hk with the fastest firerate in the game. I'm curious what you think, please reply back!

[@NIKLASSOLVBERGOVERBY]

Oh god, PLEASE try to get this right Drift0r: It is CBJ-MS! In the video you said CJB-MS and wrote DBJ-MS!

Hey Drift0r, do a quick video explaining how Under-mounted projectile weapons (Grenade Launcher/Shotgun attachments) work differently now.

[@alex111683]

You're totally wrong. This perk will turn the Vector into a two shot kill! And the Ak-12 and especially the Remington R5 a two shot kill at insane ranges! It turns the Remington R5 with muzzle break into an almost automatic marksman rifle.

@Moray Deadeye in a specialist slot isn't a great idea. It will take 6 kills to get, and at least another 4 to get all the bonus perks. You'd be better off taking Deadeye at the start, and then adding other perks you like with specialist.

[@taranmissan8427]

Is this per pellet on shotguns, or per shell chance?

I would say you get a 20% damage increase over all at a giher streak then 4, because you get 50% shots at 40% more damage. It actually sound pretty usefull, too bad it takes up so many perk slots.

[@InfiniteDarkMass]

Wouldn't it be better to take as many useful perks as possible, and achieve the dead eye by specialist because it doesn't matter how much it costs then, and you will already receive it in a more effective form?
