Deceive Inc. Characters Tier List: Best Characters in the Game

Decieve Inc. is a first-person shooter with a twist. You are tasked to blend in the crowd, grab the objective and get out. You will not be alone in this hunt though. Other players will take the form of rival spies trying to one-up you while going after the same objectives.

With a starting roster of eight different playable Agents, you will have a lot of options to try and find the playstyle that fits better for you. Much like any other shooter, some characters were given better abilities that distinguish them from the rest.

In the Deceive Inc. Characters tier list, I will go over the characters from best to worst so players can have an idea of who to try out when they first start the game. Keep in mind that this tier list is meant to help players get into the game, and have fun.

If you find yourself drawn to an Agent placed lower on the list don’t let that dissuade you from using them. If you are good enough, and with practice, all Agents can be great to use.

Here is a quick overview of the tier list for those of you who don’t want to go over the explanations.
