Desert Eagle | Serpent Strike was added to the game on March 31, 2025, as part of The Fever Collection, released with the Spring Forward update. The skin was created by nikto. According to available information, this is the first weapon skin by the creator to be accepted into the game.
The slide and grip inserts are covered with an embossed texture that imitates snake skin. Its color scheme is dominated by red, orange, and dark shades. The grip features an image of a coiled red snake, while the upper part of the slide is decorated with an image of a crawling snake. The frame and some parts of the weapon are finished in dark purple. Some small parts of the body are painted solid red.
The skin's Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 0.57, which makes Desert Eagle | Serpent Strike available in all exterior conditions. The first minor abrasions are already present on various parts of the body in Factory New condition. They become clearly noticeable at approximately 0.24. As the Float Value grows, abrasions increase in number and size, revealing shiny silver metal underneath. At the highest wear levels, the paint layer is worn away from most of the slide, while the embossed snake-skin texture remains on the metal surface.
The pattern index affects the placement of colored areas of the snake-skin texture. The gaming community identifies a number of patterns dominated by bright orange shades. The most pronounced include pattern indexes #425, #698, and #363. Variants dominated by dark shades are known as Max Black. These include, for example, pattern indexes #649, #341, and #328.
The quality of Desert Eagle | Serpent Strike is Restricted. The skin is available in a StatTrak version.
