Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐

Origin Story

The Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐, released on May 26, 2015, as part of The Rising Sun Collection with Operation Bloodhound, features a hydrographic of a stormy sea. Its flavor text, "You think it's the same, but look again... subtlety makes all the difference," hints at the nuanced details within its appearance. The stormy sea pattern suggests a powerful and unpredictable nature, contrasting with the weapon's inherent precision.

Drop Chance

Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm 弐 is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Rising Sun Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Restricted drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 3 other Restricted 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.
