Desert Eagle | Firebreathing

Origin Story

The Desert Eagle | Firebreathing, released on March 11, 2026, as part of The Dead Hand Collection, features a custom paint job with purple and blue flames. These flames are applied using pearlescent paint, giving them an iridescent quality. The design emphasizes a dynamic visual, with the fiery motif covering the pistol.

Drop Chance

Desert Eagle | Firebreathing is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. 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 not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($7.45): The purple and blue flames are at maximum vibrancy with sharp edges and the pearlescent paint effect is fully consistent.
• Minimal Wear ($3.00): Subtle edge wear begins to appear on the front slide and high-contact corners; the flame artwork remains nearly complete.
• Field-Tested ($1.31): Noticeable wear appears on the front edges and along the slide, with some flame tips looking scuffed and reduced pearlescent pop.
• Well-Worn ($1.15): Larger, continuous wear patches are visible along the slide and muzzle, causing parts of the flame pattern to soften or appear partially missing.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.10): Extensive wear covers most high-contact surfaces, with large portions of the purple and blue flame artwork significantly faded or interrupted.

Model

Firebreathing uses the current Desert Eagle model, released on March 11, 2026. The Gunsmith finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.
