StatTrak™ Desert Eagle | Crimson Web (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skin is built on red paint and a black web overlay, so wear shows mostly as lost colour rather than a faded pattern. At Well-Worn the edges and raised areas show clear bare-metal patches, while the flat sides of the slide and grip still carry plenty of red and web. The result is a rougher, darker version of the same design.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The slide, frame and grip are coated in a solid red base, with black spider web lines laid over them by hydrographic print and sealed with a semi-gloss topcoat. On the slide the web runs along the sides and around the factory markings, and darker shading gathers near the top edge and the rear sight.

Well-Worn copies have larger bare-metal patches on the muzzle, the slide edges and the grip, and the trigger guard is noticeably scraped. Wear starts creeping onto the flat sides of the slide, breaking up parts of the web. The central areas of the slide and grip still hold red. In game the gun looks darker and patchier, though the red scheme is still recognisable.

Stickers and crafts

Black, white and gold stickers sit well on the red slide and do not clash with the web. Red holo or foil stickers blend into the base for a uniform look, while a single sticker near the middle of the slide keeps the web visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at the web placement on the slide and grip, since a neat, centred web is valued over a scattered one.
• Check the float position within the wear grade, because low floats keep the slide edges and muzzle noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle, slide edges, grip corners and trigger guard, which lose paint first.
• On Souvenir copies, note which stickers are applied, since they are fixed and change the overall look.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Buyers looking for a cheaper way into the skin who accept visible wear.
• Players who prefer a darker, rougher take on the red scheme.
• In short, a budget option that still keeps the design recognisable.
