Desert Eagle | Blue Ply

Origin Story

The Desert Eagle | Blue Ply, released on March 31, 2020, as part of The Prisma 2 Collection with the "Clearing Out the Cobwebs" update, features a laminated, plywood-like blue and ash grey design. Its in-game description notes the ash-colored grip and blue slide, which are the most visible elements in first-person view. This skin is generally considered a budget, mid-tier option for the Desert Eagle, often grouped with other affordable Prisma 2 pistols. It provides a clean, tactical, or industrial aesthetic for players seeking a modern look without the cost of higher-tier Desert Eagle finishes.

Drop Chance

Desert Eagle | Blue Ply is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Prisma 2 Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Prisma 2 Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($12.00): The blue slide and ash grip are crisp and fully saturated, with the laminated texture clean and uniform.
• Minimal Wear ($0.99): The overall appearance remains very close to Factory New, with only small nicks or faint wear on sharp edges like the slide.
• Field-Tested ($0.52): Noticeable chipping and dulling appear on the slide edges and possibly parts of the grip frame, with blue tones appearing slightly less vibrant.
• Well-Worn ($0.37): Substantial edge wear and surface scratches are present, with the laminated blue looking significantly faded or chipped, especially near the muzzle.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.36): Extensive chipping, fading, and exposed base material heavily degrade the laminated blue and ash grip finish, with colors appearing notably duller.

Model

Blue Ply uses the legacy Desert Eagle model, introduced with Clearing Out the Cobwebs on March 31, 2020. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job: It has been laminated and filled with an ash-colored grip and blue slide. The dominant colors are muted blue, ash grey, and darker near-black tones, with a laminated, plywood-style pattern. In first-person view, the blue slide and ash-colored grip are the most prominent features. The skin is visually closer to technical, modern finishes than to bright or graffiti-style Desert Eagle skins.
