Desert Eagle | Crimson Web (Minimal Wear)

The Desert Eagle | Crimson Web in Minimal Wear (MW) is a red Deagle with its webs and lacquer kept almost whole, though the edges are already touched. Restricted rank, the eSports 2014 Summer Collection. It comes out of the eSports 2014 Summer Case.

What the Desert Eagle | Crimson Web looks like in Minimal Wear

The whole surface of the pistol is red, with dark strands of web running across it. They reach the slide, frame and grip, and a semi-gloss lacquer covers the top of the slide. The black parts are the sight bars, the hammer and the guard.

Minimal Wear is the first step down from the factory look. The most exposed spots lighten: the top edge of the slide and the ribs of the frame. The webs on the flat surfaces are untouched, and the pattern reads just as it does on an unworn copy.

Where the Desert Eagle | Crimson Web came from

The author of the Desert Eagle | Crimson Web is Valve itself; the skin has no outside artist. The eSports 2014 Summer Collection was released in July 2014, and the skin has been part of the set since its release. Valve's catalog lists it as 232.

The web pattern and how it varies

On the red field red stickers get lost, while white, gold and black ones read cleanly. The webs are fine, and a large sticker will land right on them. The frame above the guard and the bottom of the grip suit a craft.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is a reasonable choice for the Desert Eagle | Crimson Web in these cases:

• you want a Deagle with vivid red and intact webs, without paying extra for Factory New;


• the lower wears cost about a third as much, but the paint on the edges is worn deeper there;


• pattern matters to you: it tells apart listings with nearly the same float;


• you want a Deagle for a CS2 loadout, where wear does not affect shooting.
