Deadshot, Harley, King Shark, and Boomerang each have three unique skill trees where you unlock active and passive abilities. Here, we’re looking at Deadshot, who’s mainly focused on Sniper and Assault Rifles. Here are all of Deadshot’s skills listed in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League.
Every Deadshot Skill, Talent, and Ability in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League
I played Deadshot second after King Shark, and they’re polar opposites in terms of playstyle. Deadshot is all about taking enemies out from medium to long range. He’s the sniper class for all you long-rangers out there since many of his talents focus on boosting your effectiveness with Sniper and Assault Rifles.
You know those helicopters and tanks? I can take them out with just a few well-placed sniper shots with Deadshot, whereas it takes me a minute with King Shark to maneuver around and get close to their weak points. Additionally, Deadshot is the fastest character in the air. His jetpack can boost twice in a row, not including a boost you unlock, letting us cover a decent distance incredibly quickly.
This sniper-focused hit-and-run (or hit-and-fly) playstyle is further boosted by his three Talent skill trees. Tools of the Trade Telents enhance damage and critical hits with guns. Locked and Loaded skills mostly boost melee attacks and grant extra melee effects. Fly Like a Bullet is an ability tree all about traversal and offering bonuses for staying in the air. For each level-up, you get 1 Talent Point to assign in each row and Tier, going left-to-right column by column.
