The Eagle .50 (or Desert Eagle) is a pistol in Far Cry 2. It can be purchased at the beginning of Act 2. Additionally, enemies will begin to wield the Desert Eagle after players finish the first faction mission in Act 2. It is also the only sidearm of Buddies, even in Act 1. If Buddies die in battle, they will drop a used and rusty Eagle. Also, if players fall and a buddy revives them, he or she may hand the player their Desert Eagle in excellent condition.
