Desert Eagle | Heirloom (Minimal Wear)

The Desert Eagle | Heirloom in Minimal Wear (MW) has a float from 0.07 to 0.15, 10% of a finish scale that runs to 0.80. It is a Restricted skin from The Arms Deal 3 Collection and drops from CS:GO Weapon Case 3.

What the Desert Eagle | Heirloom looks like in Minimal Wear

The slide is steel, dark, with a silvery sheen toward the muzzle. Gold scrolls of engraving lie along the ends of the slide and behind it, at the base of the hammer. The grip is black, and the pistol has no other paint.

Light marks on the edges are typical of Minimal Wear, and the engraving still reads in full. The wear is written into the float at the moment of the drop: a copy at 0.08 and a copy at 0.14 stay as they fell.

Where the Desert Eagle | Heirloom came from

The Arms Deal 3 Collection was added to the game in February 2014, and the skin arrived in the same update. Valve's release note describes the case as a set of pistol finishes, including a new CZ75-Auto.

What to check before buying

It makes sense to verify the following on a Desert Eagle | Heirloom:

• float: the 0.07 to 0.15 band is short;


• a previous owner's stickers, and a rename on the Desert Eagle | Heirloom;


• version: a regular copy or StatTrak.

There is almost nothing to choose between by float on the Desert Eagle | Heirloom, since the 0.07 to 0.15 stretch is short.

What the Desert Eagle | Heirloom costs in Minimal Wear

This is the middle of the price ladder. Factory New comes to almost eight times the price. Field-Tested is one and a half times cheaper, Well-Worn is 12% cheaper, and Battle-Scarred is again one and a half times cheaper.

Of fifteen Restricted Deagles in this wear, seven cost less and seven cost more. Closest in price are the Desert Eagle | Mulberry and Desert Eagle | Directive, each a third cheaper. The Desert Eagle | Naga is three times cheaper, and the Desert Eagle | Light Rail more than four times. The Desert Eagle | Blaze and both Sunset Storm finishes cost almost two orders of magnitude more.

Getting the Desert Eagle | Heirloom

It can drop from CS:GO Weapon Case 3. A trade-up is also possible: ten skins one rank down from the set give one of the four Restricted skins of The Arms Deal 3 Collection. From there the Heirloom leads on to CZ75-Auto | The Fuschia Is Now or P250 | Undertow.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Desert Eagle | Heirloom has a StatTrak version, and there are no Souvenir packages.

Stickers and craft on the Desert Eagle | Heirloom

The dark slide leaves plenty of room: white, light gray and red stickers read clearly on it. Stickers are better kept away from the gold scrolls, because the engraving overpowers their color.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is the one to buy for the Desert Eagle | Heirloom if at least one of these fits:

• you want an engraved Deagle for CS2 with light wear, but without the Factory New price;


• you want sounder metal than Field-Tested offers, at one and a half times the price;


• the difference within the 0.07 to 0.15 band does not matter to you.
