For the Desert Eagle | Heirloom, Well-Worn (WW) is a float stretch of 0.38 to 0.45, 9% of a scale that runs to 0.80. It is a Restricted skin from Arms Deal 3, and WW costs more than Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

What the Desert Eagle | Heirloom looks like in Well-Worn

The steel slide is dark, with a silvery sheen at the muzzle. Gold scroll engraving is gathered at the ends of the slide and on the rear of the frame. The grip is black. Valve describes the finish as hand engraving with inlay.

Well-Worn is the fourth wear of five: the metal is visibly scuffed, but the engraving stays in view. Wear is determined by the float, which is fixed at drop and does not grow.

Where the Desert Eagle | Heirloom came from

The Arms Deal 3 Collection opened in February 2014, and the skin was there from day one. Valve described CS:GO Weapon Case 3 as a set of pistol finishes.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn on the Desert Eagle | Heirloom makes sense in three cases:

• you want an engraved Deagle for CS2 without paying extra for the upper wears;


• you want softer wear on the metal than in Battle-Scarred, even though the price here is 22% higher;


• you choose by the 0.38 to 0.45 band, where listings barely differ.
