Souvenir Desert Eagle | Midnight Storm (Factory New)

Skin overview

Desert Eagle | Midnight Storm covers the pistol in a hydrographic of a stormy sea laid over a blue metallic base coat. The look is built on teal and cyan waves curling over dark grey. In Factory New the metallic sheen is at its strongest, and the fine lines of the waves stay sharp across the slide and grip.

Item type: pistol. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide is covered in dark grey and black wave patterns with cyan highlights on the crests, and swirling cloud-like shapes run along its sides. The barrel tip and the front of the slide pick up the brightest teal tones from the metallic base.

The whole hydrographic is intact, from the wave lines on the slide to the pattern on the grip. The metallic base gives an even teal sheen with no exposed metal. In game the pistol looks crisp and saturated at any distance. Every edge, including the muzzle and hammer, stays fully painted.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Desert Eagle | Midnight Storm is 0–0.75; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (9% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in teal, cyan, silver or dark blue blend with the stormy-sea palette. Holographic or foil stickers with cold tones work well on the dark slide, while a single bright accent near the front can stand out against the waves.

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 marks on the slide.
• Look at the top edge of the slide and the muzzle first, because these parts lose paint before anything else.
• Inspect the edges of the grip and the hammer on mid and lower grades to see how much bare metal shows.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and decide whether they fit your plans for the pistol.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest version of the stormy-sea hydrographic.
• Sticker crafters who need an untouched base for cold-toned designs.
• Conclusion: the pick for anyone who wants the finish exactly as intended.
