Bald Eagle is Kurt Hansen's revolver, and it is built to work as a pair with his knife, Fang. First, a thrown Fang has to land in an enemy's leg. A Bald Eagle shot to that same leg then tears it off and sends Fang straight back to V's hand. The two Iconics work as one set, so they are worth collecting together. Bald Eagle is a late Phantom Liberty reward, looted from Kurt Hansen during the main job Firestarter.
Combat
On its own, Bald Eagle is a Power revolver whose rounds can ricochet. It becomes much stronger with Fang equipped as the throwable. A Fang throw that hits a leg marks the limb. A Bald Eagle shot to that leg then dismembers it and returns the knife at once, ready for the next throw. Fang's cooldown therefore does not slow the fight down.
The combo works well against moving targets. Fang's thrown hits also slow and cripple the enemy, so a target that tries to run is easy to finish. Both weapons use the Cool tree, so a single build covers both.

Character Builds
Bald Eagle and Fang both use Cool perks. For the revolver, Focus and Deadeye add headshot damage. Nerves Of Tungsten-Steel guarantees crits on revolver headshots while Deadeye is active. Quick Draw speeds up the swap to the revolver after a throw. For the knife, Scorpion Sting and Juggler cut the recovery after a throw. Juggler also resets the cooldown after a headshot or crit kill with a thrown weapon. Style Over Substance guarantees crits on throws made while sliding, dodging or Dashing.
Handle Wrap raises crit chance with throwables after a throw. Shock Absorber reduces recoil, which helps aim the follow-up shot at a moving leg.

Lore
Bald Eagle is the Iconic variant of the Techtronika Metel. It belongs to Kurt Hansen, the commander of BARGHEST and the man who rules Dogtown. Its effect is built around Fang, the hunting knife Hansen carries with it.
Firestarter is the job where V finally stands in front of Hansen. V and Alex enter the EBM Petrochem Stadium disguised as the Cassel twins and face Hansen in person. Songbird then leads V to the Neural Matrix. There V must choose between helping her escape and helping Reed capture her. Hansen dies on either path. His revolver can be taken from his body.
Notes
- Siding with Reed leads to a fight with Hansen. His body then holds both Bald Eagle and Fang.
