Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr (Factory New)

Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr in Factory New (FN): a green weave of Norse ornament without a single scuff. The float for this wear runs from 0.00 to 0.07, under a finish ceiling of 0.50. The rank is Restricted, and the Desert Eagle belongs to the Norse Collection.

What the Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr looks like in Factory New

The body is wrapped in interlacing bands of Norse knotwork: a dark green base, turquoise veins running across it, and bright lime highlights on the facets. A single ornament covers the slide, the frame and the grip, so there are almost no empty surfaces. Valve describes the artwork as a depiction of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent.

In Factory New the lines of the knot are unbroken and the highlights on the facets of the slide are not rubbed away. Wear is fixed at drop, so the float of a copy stays what it was.

Where the Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr came from

Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr is part of the Norse Collection. Valve's note of November 19, 2019, about Operation Shattered Web names that collection among the new weapon sets.

What to check before buying

Before paying for a Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr, check these:

• the float: in Factory New it does not rise above 0.07;


• the facets of the slide, where the lime highlights stand out most;


• the name tag and stickers, which remain on the listing.

The stretch from 0.00 to 0.07 is short on this Desert Eagle, so differences between listings get lost in the noise.

Getting the Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr

No CS2 case contains Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr. You can get it through a trade-up: ten skins of the rank below, all from the same collection. The Norse Collection has three Restricted finishes, so the odds are one in three. The skin itself goes into the input for the finish one rank higher, Negev | Mjölnir.

StatTrak and Souvenir

No StatTrak version of Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr was ever released. Souvenir copies do exist, but there were no packages for this finish, since those were made only for the tournament map collections. Such copies are built through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr

The dense ornament leaves no empty places, so stickers land right on the knot. White, gold and red ones read on the green at once, while green and turquoise ones get lost. For a CS2 loadout with green as the main color, this ornament works as an anchor skin.

Who this wear suits

A Desert Eagle | Emerald Jörmungandr in this wear is worth buying if:

• you want an unbroken ornament with no scuffs;


• the Desert Eagle in your CS2 loadout calls for a green finish with a Norse theme;


• the surcharge for a clean look should be minimal, since the gap to Minimal Wear and Field-Tested is a few percent.

The finish comes in all five wears, down to Battle-Scarred, because its scale reaches 0.50.
