Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League features Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang as the four playable characters. Every character has their own strengths and weaknesses which can be properly used only with the right build. Rocksteady allows players to play with all four characters with their individual fighting styles and characteristics.

Deadshot, the de facto marksman of the group, is primed for damage, sniping, and whittling down enemy defenses and armor. But to deal serious damage, you must build him up properly. As he does not have the agility of Harley Quinn or the brute strength of King Shark, he will need to finish off enemies quickly

So, you can build Deadshot so that you land critical hits with every shot. Your enemies won’t know what hit them.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Talent Tree for Max Critical Chance

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Deadshot

Deadshot has to rely heavily on his damage output to stay in the fight. So we customized the Talent Tree accordingly to maximize his chances of landing critical hits. Moreover, this build focuses on increasing his air time and improving his aerial stats.

Deadshot Talent Tree

This Talent Tree build focuses on four important aspects of Deadshot’s character and gameplay. Firstly, it maximizes Deadshot’s critical chance and critical damage which pairs well with sniper rifles. Secondly, his backpack’s heat-up is reduced with an increase in his aerial stats. Thirdly with the increased Shield Harvest chance, Deadshot will be able to harvest every fallen enemy for shield and health. And lastly, his Traversal Attack recharge rate will be increased significantly to make him the standout shooter of the squad.

Weapons, Afflictions, and Mods

Deadshot

The obvious first-choice weapon for Deadshot is the Black Mask’s Bulletstorm which is the best sniper rifle in the game. However, the burning perk of this weapon will not be activated with this set and build. The two Augments that can make up for the perk are sniper rifle damage boost and damage boosts when the weapon has a full magazine.

For his secondary weapon, players need to focus on his group combat abilities. So, the Free Refills Submachine gun is the perfect choice for you to fire waves of bullets into the enemy. It refills after every four critical hits and comes with a 50% critical chance by default. So, nearly every shot will land critical hits which will obliterate enemies at close range.

As for melee weapons, we chose the Uppercut. It launches enemies in the air in slow motion and gives you plenty of time to snipe them. You can add the Livewire Bolt Affliction to increase the damage.

As for mods, the Paint Bomb Grenade will increase Deadshot’s critical damage for enemies it has hit. Hack’s Infamy set will be a good fit with its Newtonian Mechanics Traversal Mod and Modern Application Neck Bomb Mod. Along with the set bonus, you will deal 50% less damage from Traversal attacks but will have a 100% Shield Harvest chance from enemies hit. As Deadshot’s buffs and stat boosts activate mostly after he Shield Harvests, this is a good Mod to consider.

For the cherry on top, use the Hit-and-Run Lucky Charm. It will recharge your traversal attacks by 2% every time you land a critical hit. With the Livewire Bolt Affliction, you will have insane critical chance making almost every shot a critical hit which in turn will lead to unlimited Traversal attacks.

While Deadshot is mostly a sharpshooter, with this build and the Free Refills SMG, he can be a particularly troublesome character, even at close range. With his virtually unlimited traversal attacks, and higher air time, make sure to use all your skills and powers wisely.

Which is your favorite character in the game? What build do you use for Deadshot? Did we miss out on anything?

I travel. I game. I write. In no strict order.

The single biggest lie told all around is, "It isn't that simple." It is simple, everything is. And that is what I emulate in my writing. No unnecessary jargons and no flamboyant flourish. Just what's needed to get your imagination going. After all mind has no limit, unlike the written word.
