Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Desert Eagle carries a red-on-red sea scene, where the storm waves and figures blend into the metallic coat instead of contrasting with it. Minimal Wear keeps that subtle layering almost intact, with only small marks that need close inspection to find. It is a sensible choice for someone who wants the clean look of the finish without paying for the very top grade.

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.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The whole pistol is coated in a red metallic base, and a darker red hydrographic of a stormy sea runs over the slide, frame and grip. The slide shows rolling wave lines and a painted figure near the rear, while the grip carries a larger figure surrounded by leaf-like shapes.

Light marks may appear on the front edge of the slide and the top ridges. The sheen of the base coat stays almost full, and the pattern remains sharp on the slide and grip. In game it is very hard to tell apart from Factory New. The grip and the sides of the frame look clean.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the front of the slide and the edges show the difference first.
• Inspect the grip figure and the slide detail, as the subtle pattern loses readability quickly with wear.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir version, because it comes with its own applied stickers.
• Look at any stickers or name tag and decide whether they fit the red colour scheme.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept tiny edge marks that are hidden in game.
• A balanced choice between appearance and cost.
