Deadeye Lost Ark Builds

Looking for the best Lost Ark Deadeye builds? Here are all of the skills you’ll need to dominate PvE and PvP battles as the lethal Gunner.

When it comes to DPS classes in Lost Ark, it’s safe to say players are spoiled for choice with each of the specializations offering completely different playstyles.

However, for those who prefer to dish out damage with a selection of deadly guns instead of just one type of weapon, there’s no better option than the Deadeye.

Equipped with double handguns, a shotgun, and a rifle, the class is prepared for every possible scenario and is always primed to wipe out a group of enemies in seconds.

Of course, in order to get the most out of the Deadeye, you’ll need to be familiar with the best PVE and PVP builds, and luckily, we’ve got you covered.

Deadeye class Lost Ark
The Deadeye can switch between three different weapons.

Sharpshooter, Artillerist, Deadeye, or Gunslinger

While the Sharpshooter, Artillerist, Deadeye, and Gunslinger all fall under the banner of the Gunner class, they each offer different playstyles that you need to be familiar with.

For starters, the Artillerist is the tankiest of the Gunner classes, offering lots of AoE damage that can wipe out huge groups of enemies. Despite this, the class does lack mobility, so positioning is important, especially in dangerous boss fights.

When it comes to the Sharpshooter, it’s the only class in the category that uses a bow instead of a gun or rocket launcher, so it provides players with a completely different style of play. Cycling through a variety of custom arrows to exploit their enemy’s weaknesses, it’s perfect for those who want a DPS class with a lot of survivability and mobility.

Finally, the Gunslinger and Deadeye classes are masters of guns with a weapon for every occasion. Capable of wielding double handguns, a shotgun, and a rifle, these classes are perfect for anyone who loves to switch weapons on the fly and dish out damage while dodging any lethal attacks that come their way.
