Looking to hit the mark every time with Deadshot in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? Here’s the best build for the character in the game.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is quite the departure from the Arkham series, as players are thrown into the roles of the notorious squad composed of villains. King Shark, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and Captain Boomerang form the Suicide Squad to save the world from Brainiac and the brainwashed Justice League.
Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot, is the team’s sharpshooter, who excels in weaponry at long-range. He plays as the conventional soldier in-game, but don’t let that fool you into thinking he can’t take over a fight. Build him up a certain way, and you’ll demolish the opposition.
With that said, let’s dive into the details of the best Deadshot build in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Best Deadshot Build
Much like Overwatch’s Soldier 76, Deadshot is Suicide Squad’s gunhead who’s pretty well-rounded. He’s given an assault rifle and a sniper rifle, while he has a melee-packed set of pistols that can do damage from close range. He also has a jetpack that allows him to hover around the battlefield once he gets over his fear of heights.
Deadshot has three unique playstyles recommended when building him up — Sharpshooter, Tactician, and Bomber. For the best build, we’re following the Sharpshooter playstyle, although the Bomber build is just as good, if not a bit more fun, due to its chaotic nature.
Playstyles and Talents
Below, you’ll find the Sharpshooter build, which focuses on prioritizing Deadshot’s long-range capabilities and increasing critical hit damage.

Also, keep in mind that you’ll need to hit level 30 to have access to all the item slots in-game.
