Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Restricted Desert Eagle finish is defined by its emerald World Serpent pattern wrapped around the whole gun. A Minimal Wear copy keeps the knotwork intact and readable. Any marks are small and sit on the outer edges, so in hand it looks almost the same as a fresh one.

Item type: pistol. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The whole pistol is covered in green interlaced knotwork with serpent coils over a dark teal and navy base. On the slide the coils loop along the sides and over the top, and the barrel area repeats the same weave.

Light specks may appear at the muzzle and on the sharpest edges of the slide. The knotwork on the slide sides and grip is untouched. At normal view distance in game it is very hard to tell apart from Factory New. Colour depth is practically the same.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the clean end of a grade show fewer worn edges.
• Look at the muzzle, the top of the slide and the grip edges, as these lose the anodized colour first.
• Souvenir copies come with applied stickers, so judge whether they fit the green artwork.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag on regular copies too, as they change the overall look.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-flawless look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny edge specks under stickers do not matter.
• A sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
