The most expensive regular Desert Eagle skin in CS2 right now is the Desert Eagle | Blaze: about $610 in Factory New and about $690 in Minimal Wear. It is followed by Sunset Storm (about $470 to $500), Hand Cannon (about $330 to $430) and Fennec Fox (from $160 to about $360). Below we cover each skin: how it looks, which wears it comes in and what it costs. All prices are approximate LIS-SKINS figures and exclude Souvenir versions.
The Desert Eagle is one of the most popular pistols in CS2, so its skins are in steady demand. Many of these finishes have held their value for years, which makes them worth a look if you treat skins as an investment.
Desert Eagle Blaze
Desert Eagle Blaze is not only the most expensive skin for the Deagle but also one of the best. Most of the body is black, while the barrel is covered in bright yellow and orange flames. Their placement depends on the pattern index, but that does not change the price. Because of its narrow float range, the Blaze exists in only two wears, Factory New and Minimal Wear, so there is no cheap worn copy. It was added back in 2013, and demand is still high enough to support its price: Factory New costs about $610, the rarer Minimal Wear about $690, and the Souvenir version from the Dust Collection about $1,150.
Desert Eagle Sunset Storm 壱
No list of the most expensive Deagle skins is complete without the Desert Eagle Sunset Storm from The Rising Sun Collection. Its designers drew on traditional Japanese painting but combined it with modern metallic paint. The whole pistol is covered with red-orange waves whose placement depends on the pattern index. Interestingly, the skin has a second version, Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐, which differs only by a portrait that shows through the waves on the grip. Both versions cost about the same, roughly $470 to $500 depending on wear, and the gap between wears is small.

Desert Eagle Hand Cannon
The most expensive Desert Eagle finishes also include more realistic styles. The Desert Eagle Hand Cannon, for example, reproduces metal stained with patina after exposure to acid. The barrel is painted light yellow, blue and brown. Hand Cannon comes in all five wears, and some players argue that the worn versions have their own appeal because the patina looks more contrasting. The copies you will see most often are Field-Tested (about $330), Minimal Wear (about $380) and Factory New (about $430).
Desert Eagle Fennec Fox
Another skin that costs several hundred dollars in good condition is the Desert Eagle Fennec Fox. Unlike the many monster-inspired designs, it features a more peaceful animal, the fennec fox. The skin uses light shades of red and orange, and the grip is decorated with geometric patterns. The focused look of the clever little fox clearly appealed to players, and the skin remains popular. Price depends heavily on wear: Battle-Scarred and Well-Worn cost about $160, Field-Tested about $170, Minimal Wear about $210 and Factory New about $360.
Desert Eagle Printstream
We close the list with a newer skin from the recognizable JTPNZ series, the Desert Eagle Printstream from the Fracture Case. Its minimalist black-and-white design is detailed, and the body is covered with various symbols and lettering. The Desert Eagle Printstream is the most affordable skin in that series, especially in good condition. Float matters a lot here, since any scratches are clearly visible on the white base. The regular version starts at about $30, Factory New is about $70 and StatTrak Factory New about $150, which makes it the cheapest skin on this list. If you want a pricier alternative in the same range as Hand Cannon, the Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr from the Norse Collection costs about $390 to $470.
