Desert Eagle | Starcade was added to the game on October 2, 2024, as part of The Graphic Design Collection, released with The Armory update. The skin was created by Valve.
The pistol's body is decorated with an abstract geometric design in purple, turquoise, and red shades. The design consists of colored stripes, geometric elements, and thin lines. Most of the painted areas are coated with metallic flake paint, giving them a pronounced shimmering effect.
The skin's Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 0.75, which makes Desert Eagle | Starcade available in all exterior conditions. The first minor abrasions appear on various parts of the body in Minimal Wear condition. They become clearly noticeable at approximately 0.27. As the Float Value grows, abrasions increase in number and size. At the highest wear levels, a significant part of the paint layer is worn away.
The pattern index does not affect the skin's appearance.
The quality of Desert Eagle | Starcade is Classified. The skin is not available with a StatTrak counter. The name Starcade is formed from the words “star” and “arcade”.
