Here’s What You Need to Know About Desert Eagle | Heat Treated
It’s a Limited Edition skin for Deagle, one of the most popular weapons in the game. Heat Treated was released within the massive Armory Update in October 2024. When you’re reading this Hellcase overview, it might be out of store already. Still, it’s surely available on the market, so understanding how its patterns work is a good idea. After all, it’s one of the best Deagle skins!
So, here are a few facts about Desert Eagle | Heat Treated for you:
- The “process” behind creating the Heat Treated pattern is basically the same as it was with the Case Hardened skins. It involves the application of wood charcoal to the metal at high temperatures, which results in a cool patina layer.
- Moreover, Heat Treated is like Case Hardened’s rebranding. It has the same description, flavor text, and float value ranges but different designs.
- It’s available in all conditions from Battle-Scared to Factory New, so there’s always something to fit your budget.
- Its “Blue Gem” is more common and, therefore, less expensive than Case Hardened ones.
- Heat Treated Deagle is a Classified skin, so it’s pretty valuable.
Desert Eagle | Heat Treated Blue Gem is undoubtedly stunning, but there’s more to discover about the skin’s patterns. Let’s take a look at them!
Desert Eagle | Heat Treated Patterns Explained
As you know, a lot of CS2 weapon skins have hundreds of variants with slightly different patterns because of varying pattern indexes. Some of the most expensive CS2 skins, like AK-47 | Case Hardened and the Gamma Doppler knife series, are perfect examples. Naturally, some patterns are rarer than others just because not many of them were randomly unboxed from CS2 cases. And that’s what makes them valuable and expensive.
Desert Eagle | Heat Treated has a bunch of variants, too. There’s Desert Eagle Blue Gem, Gold Gem, and Purple Gem. Also, there are two tiers of Blue Gems with patterns having different amounts of blue on the pistol’s slide. Time to discover Heat Treated’s best patterns!

Gold Gems are just as unique as the Purple Gems. They’re not entirely golden, though. Unlike Blue Gems, the Gold Gems have a few golden areas scattered around the pistol. Looks cool anyway!
Pattern Difference
Desert Eagle | Heat Treated CS2 skin patterns are almost like fingerprints, as no two are exactly alike. The exceptional patina-like finish comes from treating the metal with heat and chemicals. Some patterns turn out primarily blue, and these are the ones collectors go crazy for. Some of the purple ones look like galaxy swirls on your Desert Eagle. And the gold patterns are for players who love that luxury look.
It’s also worth noting that wear makes a big difference. A Factory New Heat Treated will pop with color, while Battle-Scarred versions look more weathered and aged. Some players prefer this worn look because it gives the gun more character.
Understanding Float and Wear Values of Desert Eagle | Heat Treated
We’ll use the Heat Treated Desert Eagle Blue Gem (#490) as an example to show how wear level affects the pistol’s appearance.
Factory New
Minimal Wear
Field-Tested
Well-Worn
Battle-Scarred
How to Get Desert Eagle | Heat Treated?

How Much Does Desert Eagle | Heat Treated Cost?
As this is a somewhat new release, market prices haven’t completely settled yet. Trading restrictions are still in place. But, we should expect high demand for top patterns once the trade lock lifts. We’ve explored the market, and here’s what we found.
There are many Heat Treated Deagles on sale now. Most offers are from the CS2 community, so every owner sets their preferred price. Heat Treated’s best patterns in decent condition easily go for $200 and more.
If you’re wondering how much Blue Gem Deagle is worth, offers vary from $1,000 to $5,000 and a little above.
Common Deagle | Heat Treated patterns sell for $3 to $100 based on their condition. Most cheap variants are kind of bland and boring, so they’re not really worth your attention. If you want a cool-looking Deagle | Heat Treated, that starting point is at least $30.
Future Market Value of Desert Eagle | Heat Treated
The creator of the Heat Treated Steam guide predicts that these “Blue Gems” will not be as expensive as the Case Hardened ones for a simple reason: there are just too many of them. One main factor that makes a particular pattern or skin valuable is its rarity. So, don’t expect to make thousands of dollars on Desert Eagle’s “Blue Gem”.
But what if we don’t compare prices of Heat Treated’s “Blue Gems” and Case Hardened ones? In that case, it’s safe to say that Heat Treated’s “Blue Gems” are still valuable and have their fans.
