How to Get Desert Eagle Heat Treated in CS2
Oh, the good old Deagle. This deadly toy has been scoring kills since the earliest version of CS, and as befits the deadliest pistol in the game, received more than a few skins along the way. For example, in the recent Armory update, Valve had introduced the single prettiest finish our team has seen so far: Deagle Heat Treated. Today, we’re going to share what made us so excited about this cosmetic, why we think it is special, and answer all your questions about how to get Deagle Heat Treated skin in CS2.
What is Special About Deagle Heat Treated?
The Heat Treated skin for the Desert Eagle is a visually stunning masterpiece, but you probably already noticed that by looking at the item. The skin imitates a metallic heat-treated effect, giving the Desert Eagle a rugged appearance while also making it shine. Despite the stunning looks, the design is also surprisingly realistic (just google what actual heat treated weapons look like).
And, of course, Heat Treated has a high pattern variation. These variations vary from subtle to intense, with some patterns exhibiting more vibrant hues while others have a more subdued look. Naturally, certain visual features are rarer than others, making them more valuable. Players lucky enough to obtain these rarer Desert Eagle Heat Treated skins are usually unwilling to part with them, and so getting one on the market is next to impossible right now.
There are three distinct pattern groups for the Heat Treated skin for Desert Eagle, differentiated by the color intensity and the placement of heat marks on the skin. Thus, we have Blue Gems, where almost the whole weapon is, well, blue; Purple patterns, with one side of the weapon having no heat marks at all on the violet base; and Gold patterns, that are similar to the previous group, but have yellow scorch marks all over the place.
Blue Gem
Patterns: 490, 148, 69, 704, 567, 308
Purple Patterns
Patterns: 172, 599, 156, 293, 29, 944, 133
Gold Patterns
Patterns: 103, 182, 74, 37, 87, 325, 124, 144
How to Get Desert Eagle Heat Treated in CS2?
So, how do you actually get one of these toys? Well, it’s certainly difficult, but not impossible. Here’s what you can do.
The Armory Pass Method
One way to get the Deagle Heat Treated skin is through the Armory Pass. Players can spend $15.99 to access the Pass and earn credits that they can later spend on various skins. However, while you need only 4 credits for collections or 2 for a Gallery case, you’ll need to spend 25 to get a single Heat Treated skin. Considering that there are 40 credits in total that you can earn from the Armory Pass, this means you’re limited to just one Heat Treated item. The good news is that you can buy up to 5 Armory Passes at once, and farm those points much faster.
Buying on Trading Platforms
Another way to obtain the Deagle Heat Treated skin is by purchasing it from other players. This method can be faster than earning skins through gameplay, and is your only option if you are looking for a specific pattern. Platforms such as the Steam Market and third-party trading sites offer a wide range of skins, including the new Heat Treated ones.
Which is More Profitable: Armory Pass or Buying on Platform?
Whether you should go for the battle pass or just buy the skin depends on whether other pass rewards are worth it for you. As we’ve mentioned, the Armory Pass costs $15.99, but you get more than just this skin from there. Spending 25 of the 40 earnable points, you can still buy something else for the rest. On the other hand, buying the skin directly from a platform will cost you as much as $25 for a Factory New, whereas a Minimal Wear goes for as low as $5.
Overall, it’s up to you to decide. The Armory Pass requires players to spend considerable time playing the game. It also involves some risk, as there’s no guarantee that spending those 25 points will give you a Factory New skin or a rare pattern. Therefore, buying the Deagle Heat Treated skin on a trading platform is quicker and might even be cheaper.
Is It Possible to Sell Deagle Heat Treated?
Yes, it is possible to sell the Deagle Heat Treated skin once you have obtained it. If you decide you no longer want the skin or wish to profit from your hard work, you can sell it on various trading platforms. The value of the skin depends on several factors, including its rarity, demand, and pattern. However, it’s important to note that Valve has specific rules regarding the sale of skins, and players should ensure they comply with all guidelines to avoid penalties.
