Get Desert Eagle Early

I've snagged me a Desert Eagle earlier than it's unlocked in the game for purchase. There's probably an earlier time to do it as well but this is the first time I've seen it. I was doing the Police Vigilante missions on Alonquin or whatever it's called, where you respond to crimes in your cruiser (not the Most Wanted) and one of the Criminal on Foot missions sent me to an alleyway. I went in with the cruiser and saw the guy, I was about to run him down and he shot my windscreen with a strange sounding pistol, so I immediately floored it and rammed him into the wall, then got out and collected my Desert Eagle.

re: Get Desert Eagle Early

Do the Vigilante missions just come up randomly? Or do you need to use the police computer like the Most Wanted missions?

I want that Desert Eagle.

re: Get Desert Eagle Early

It's the first option on the police cruiser, something like "View Current Crimes", then just pick one and the cruiser's siren and lights will come on and a red waypoint to the crime in progress. Just keep responding to them til you get it. I didn't know you could even get one during them, I was just trying to get the XBOX achievement for 20 crimes solved.

Nice.

Once you get the DE, is it unlocked in the gun-stores?

re: Get Desert Eagle Early

No, but it'll convert all your pistol rounds into DE ammo. I had about 1500 so I'm not running out any time soon and it punches like a pump action shotgun at close range, so unless you're a cock eyed *bleep*, you should be good to go.

That's true but as you can get the Desert Eagle before you do The Holland Play by doing View Current Crimes callouts until it drops from a criminal kill, this method allows you to obtain it earlier than that.

Playboy drops it when you kill him, otherwise you'll have to do police vigilantes.

re: Get Desert Eagle Early

if you rob the gun store in broker they will attack with desert eagles and MP5s so if you don't get arrested just killed you can keep them

I got it...

...during the botched museum deal mission. Once again, some guy was firing a pistol that sounded different. It's odd, it didn't ask to exchange. I had to press LB without the message telling me.

no. thats so stupid. when you get a weapon, it should unlock it in gun stores. in fact, having guns locked at all is really gay. they should just be progressively more expensive the better they are, not where you have to unlock them. i want to buy a damn Desert Eagle and an M4 dammit!

It's all about the difficulty gradient. If you get the powerful guns earlier than intended, missions that were intended to be "hard" are substantially easier. Anyway, you can get around the ammo problem by maxing out the gun that will be upgraded, such as the Glock 17 or whatever shitty gun that is that you have to start with, get maximum ammo for that before you get the Desert Eagle and it all converts over.

Just go to that gun shop in Broker in that alleyway, kill the shop owner, and pick up his D-Eagle.
