Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 (Field-Tested)

The Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 (Field-Tested) is a Restricted pistol skin with a red metallic base under a stormy-sea hydrographic, here in a moderately worn state. Field-Tested is the most common way to own the finish — some honest wear on the frame for a friendlier price than the top grades.

Design

Valve designed this finish as a hydrographic of a stormy sea over a red metallic base coat, so a dark, turbulent wave pattern sits atop a warm undertone. The item carries a fitting line: "You think it's the same, but look again... subtlety makes all the difference."

Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

On the 0.00–0.75 range, Field-Tested lands in the middle, where light-to-moderate wear starts to show on the slide and along the edges. The red base loses a little of its glow and the wave pattern picks up some scuffing, though the design stays clearly readable. This is the grade most players settle on for the balance of looks and cost.

Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, positioned above Mil-Spec and a step beneath Classified in the standard weapon grades. It's an uncommon grade to unbox.

Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 Case and Collection

This finish is one of The Rising Sun Collection, brought in with Operation Bloodhound in May 2015. As a group the Restricted tier drops around 16% of the time (the rate is shared across the tier's skins), and since the collection is no longer in active rotation, supply stays fixed — nearly all copies are traded on the market rather than freshly dropped.

Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 Patterns

There's no random pattern variation to track on this skin — the stormy hydrographic and its red base are placed the same on each copy, meaning no paint seed or "blue gem" to seek out. Copies are separated purely by wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this finish doesn't exist — kill-counter variants are unboxed from weapon cases, and this is a collection drop rather than a case skin, so none was ever produced. There's no Souvenir edition to look for either, since Souvenir weapons come solely from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never a Major drop.

Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 Price

Field-Tested is the value sweet spot of the ladder — cheaper than the top two grades while keeping the finish easily recognizable, and it's the grade most widely available on the market. Even so, this remains a high-end Deagle finish overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested version look worn?

A little. Expect light-to-moderate wear on the slide and edges, with the red base slightly dulled from its Factory New glow. The stormy hydrographic still comes through clearly, so the skin holds its identity in-game while costing noticeably less than the higher grades.

Is Field-Tested the best value?

For most buyers, yes. It sells for less than Minimal Wear and Factory New yet keeps the design readable, and it's the easiest grade to find on the market. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred are cheaper still if you're chasing the lowest entry price and don't mind heavier wear.

Which loadout suits the Sunset Storm?

Lean into the red base. Warm-toned gloves such as a crimson or red pair tie into the metallic undercoat, while darker gear echoes the stormy overlay. It slots naturally into a red-and-black loadout with matching agents and knife finishes.
