5 Rarest Desert Eagle Skins in CS:GO

Desert Eagle skins, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skins in general, have been a huge part of the game’s community since its inception.

Based on the frequency of sales on the Steam CS:GO market, the rarest items can be determined by finding out which skins are selling the least, and based on this algorithm these are the five rarest Desert Eagle skins.

The golden koi found in the Operation Bravo case is the oldest covert rarity of the Desert Eagle skin. With a golden background with small fish-like scales covering it, the skin is not considered one of the prettiest, but nonetheless it is rarely found.

There are actually two different variations of the Sunset Storm, both of which appeared in the same place: The Rising Sun Collection. The Sunset Storm is a red skin with art found in older Japanese paintings depicting a blooming landscape.

The Blaze is considered the most famous Desert Eagle skin and the customization of choice for most current CS:GO pros. The Blaze’s only signature character found in the Dust Collection is a large fire on the barrel, which has made him an iconic skin.

The Pilot skin is in the Baggage Collection and is rarely traded due to the low quantity of the old skin. The Pilot is basically just a glamorous Desert Eagle with some gold plating on the gun and a brown grip.

The hand cannon is named after the weapon’s official CS:GO description, and its souvenir form is the rarest Desert Eagle skin out there. Fans can get the souvenir exclusively in the Cobblestone Collection, similar to the famous Dragon Lore AWP skin, and as such the Hand Cannon can usually only be found during CS:GO Majors.
