Desert Eagle | Night Heist

Origin Story

The Desert Eagle | Night Heist, released on December 3, 2020, as part of Operation Broken Fang, is a distinctive sidearm from The Havoc Collection. Its design features a purple anodized map pattern that appears to have additional markings drawn on top, giving it a tactical, blueprint-like aesthetic. This skin is recognized within the community as a thematic, mid-tier Desert Eagle, offering an engaging visual alternative to more expensive options. It is a popular choice for players building "heist" or "urban" themed loadouts. As part of a fixed-supply collection, its availability is limited to existing market stock and unopened operation content.

Drop Chance

Desert Eagle | Night Heist is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Havoc Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 3 other Mil-Spec skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.65. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($197.16): The dark purple map pattern is pristine with strong color saturation, showing no visible edge wear on the slide or muzzle.
• Minimal Wear ($36.48): This tier retains a very clean appearance, with only minor edge softening or extremely light scratches on high-contact areas like the slide and muzzle.
• Field-Tested ($28.58): The purple map pattern remains clear, but the overall metal appears slightly more dulled, with noticeable edge wear on the slide, muzzle, and frame edges.
• Well-Worn ($33.85): The anodized purple loses more vibrancy, especially around exposed edges, and the dark base shows more uneven wear, particularly on the front and top edges.
• Battle-Scarred ($34.80): Significant edge wear and visible fading are present, with more extensive exposed metal and duller purple, especially on the front half of the gun and sharp edges.

Sticker Compatibility

The Desert Eagle | Night Heist's dark purple and map pattern design pairs well with stickers in purple, violet, or magenta hues, as well as black, dark grey, or metallic options that blend with its base. Neon or cyberpunk-style stickers in bright pinks or blues can also create a contrasting "heist/urban" aesthetic. On the Desert Eagle, the upper slide and side sticker slots are generally the most visible in gameplay.
