No matter your choice on the matter, you cannot deny that the Deagle has been one of the top weapons to use in the game. Its power is unmatched by any other pistol and has become synonymous with some of the most iconic moments in the game’s history. It also happens to have an incredible line of skins that only add to the weapon’s popularity.
10Mecha Industries
Colors and patterns can really make a weapon pop and that statement stands true with the Mecha Industries. This black and white skin really draws your eyes to the design and makes the Deagle stand out.
Designed by “coyote37”, the Mecha Industries skin was added to the game in 2018 in the Danger Zone case. It might be one of the cheaper pink rarity skins, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. The two main colors really highlight the weapon and the subtle red lines give this weapon a retro look.
9Ocean Drive
The Ocean Drive immediately stands out from other skins with its bright and vibrant multicolored shapes. Added to the game in 2021, this skin was created by community designer “kiku” and can be obtained in the Operation Riptide case.
This covert skin can be found on the Steam market for around $127 for a Factory New but can be as low as $10 for a Battle-Scarred one. The lesser the wear, the more you will see the colors start to fade which takes away from the beauty of the bright skin.
8Midnight Storm
The Midnight Storm may only be a light blue rarity in the game, but that doesn’t mean it’s a low-grade skin. This skin was added to the game in 2015 as part of The Rising Sun Collection.

The beautiful blue and green colors really add to the weapon along with the painting of the stormy sea. This artwork makes it a great addition to your collection and since you cannot obtain it from cases, it makes this weapon all the more popular within the community.
7Kumicho Dragon
When you think of pistols with a dragon skin one of the first that comes to mind is the Dual Berettas. However, a very similar design is etched on the Desert Eagle Kumicho Dragon and looks incredibly stunning.
This skin was added to the game in 2016 as part of the Operation Wildfire update and can be obtained from the case of the same name. Designed by community designer “The Honey Badger”, who also created the Dueling Dragons skin, really made the Deagle stand out with the white lines of the dragon and purple grip.
6Sunset Storm弐
There are two versions of the Sunset Storm but the one we are focusing on is the Sunset Storm弐. It was added to the game in 2015 and cannot be obtained from cases since it is part of The Rising Sun Collection.
The metallic red color showcases a stormy sea design much like the Midnight Storm. What makes this Sunset Storm stand apart from its twin skin is the face you can find on the grip. This purple rarity skin is also highly sought after and can cost you over $300 for just a Battle-Scarred on the Steam market with a Factory New going for around $380.
5Conspiracy
The Conspiracy is probably one of the most well-known Deagle skins in the game. Created by “Hybra”, this skin was added to CS:GO in 2014 as part of the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. Its dark metallic skin with yellow accents makes this a very sleek-looking cosmetic.

It is one of the cheaper pinks on the list, but again don’t let that fool you. Just because it’s not as expensive as other skins doesn’t mean it’s not a highly rated or coveted skin. You can find a Factory New version of the skin for around $10 on the Steam market.
4Code Red
The Code Red was added to the game in 2018 and created by community designer “DasDas”. The weapon is part of the Horizon Collection and can be obtained from a Horizon Case. The bright red and black color combination really pops especially with the white detailing.
This covert skin looks incredible in both Factory New and Minimal Wear if you may find the right float to keep the colors from fading too much. There is a big price difference though. Minimal Wear can start around $42 while a Factory New will be around $87 on the Steam market.
3Printstream
The Printstream might just be one of the cleanest-looking skins out there for the Deagle. This black and white skin really showcases the weapon in all of its glory with some pearlescent highlights.

Introduced in 2020 as part of the Fracture Case and Collection, this covert skin just jumps off the screen with its notable double x on the barrel of the gun. Community designer “JTPNZ” really outdid themself with this skin because the popularity of it goes for around $130 on the Steam market.
2Fennec Fox
Weapon skins with animals on them are no strangers to CS:GO. The Fennec Fox not only showcases the weapon with stunning colors and a fox on the barrel of the gun but shows off true artwork.
Added to the game in 2021 during the Operation Riptide update and players could obtain this skin from the Paris 2023 Mirage Souvenir Package. So not only could you get this skin in its standard covert rarity, but you could unbox it as a Souvenir. Be prepared to spend a bit of money though as a standard Factory New costs $555 while a Factory New Souvenir can run you around $1.2k.
1Blaze
One of the most iconic skins in CS:GO is the Desert Eagle Blaze. What makes this weapon so famous you might be wondering? One of the most notable plays in CS:GO Esports history is when Happy happened to get an insane ace on Inferno with this specific skin against TSM at DreamHack Open London 2015.
The Blaze was already a fan-favorite skin because of its pure black skins and flames on the barrel of the gun. It also has been in the game since the Arms Deal update in 2013. However, after that iconic moment, fans were trying their best to get this skin either from trades or buying since it’s part of the Dust Collection and not in any weapon cases. It is one of the most expensive skins for the Deagle as a Factory New one will cost you around $900 or more.
