Desert Eagle | Cobalt Disruption (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The skin's float range ends early, so Field-Tested here means only the cleanest part of that grade. The blue digital pattern stays complete, while the first bare metal appears along the sharp edges of the slide and the muzzle. Combined with the painted weathered spots, the gun takes on a used, field look without losing its colour.

Item type: pistol. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The slide, frame and grip are wrapped in one continuous digital camouflage of navy, cobalt and light blue squares with a metallic anodized sheen. Along the slide the pixels run in horizontal bands, and the engraved lettering stays visible through the pattern.

Small patches of bare metal show on the muzzle, along the top edges of the slide and at its rear, and the lower edge of the grip starts to wear. The scuffs that were barely visible in Minimal Wear become more defined, but they stay on the edges and raised parts. The flat sides of the slide and the main area of the grip keep the full blue pattern. In game the pistol still reads clearly blue, with a slightly worn outline.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested looks much closer to Minimal Wear.
• Look at the muzzle and the top edges of the slide, because these lose the finish first.
• Remember that the teal rust spots are part of the artwork and not damage.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the busy pattern reads.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Budget buyers who want the cobalt camo for everyday play.
• Players who like a slightly used look that fits the painted rust.
• The entry point to this skin, and still a clearly blue, intact pattern.
