Desert Eagle | Heat Treated was added to the game on October 2, 2024, as a limited-edition Armory item, released with The Armory update. The skin was created by Valve. On January 14, 2025, it was removed from the Armory.
All metal parts of the pistol's body are covered with a pattern resembling the effects of heat treatment. The pattern has a metallic sheen and consists of spots and streaks in various shades of blue, purple, and yellow. The placement of colored areas and the balance of shades vary depending on the pattern index. The black grip panels remain unpainted.
The skin's Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 1.00, which makes Desert Eagle | Heat Treated available in all exterior conditions. No abrasions appear on the weapon's body. As the Float Value rises, a patina develops on the metal parts of the body, making the skin noticeably darker. At the highest wear levels, the patina becomes more pronounced.
The pattern index affects the distribution and proportions of colors on the metal parts of the body. The community highlights Blue Gem variants (#490, #148, #69, #704, #567, #308), dominated by blue; Gold Gem (#103, #182, #74, #37, #87, #325), featuring golden-yellow shades; and Purple Gem (#172, #599, #156, #293, #29, #944), dominated by purple shades. Pattern #490 is considered the most valuable for its almost entirely blue metal surface.
