Heat Treated blue gems: Desert Eagle and Five-SeveN pattern tiers

Heat Treated (The Armory, October 2024) is Case Hardened's younger sibling: a surface-hardening finish where the pattern seed decides how much blue lands on the body. A blue gem here means bright blue over roughly 80%+ of the body, grip excluded. Around 37 blue-gem seeds are identified per pistol; full-purple and gold rolls are collected too, at lower prices.

Desert Eagle Heat Treated

TIER 1

490, 148, 69, 704

#490 is the consensus number one - the most blue on the slide. The first FN #490 reportedly sold for $2,688 within weeks of The Armory launching.

TIER 2

16, 48, 66, 67, 96, 111, 117, 159, 259, 263, 273, 297, 308, 321, 324, 341, 347, 461, 482, 517, 530, 567, 587, 674, 695, 723, 764, 772, 781, 790, 792, 843, 880, 885, 904, 948, 990

TIER 3

109, 116, 134, 158, 168, 225, 338, 354, 356, 365, 370, 386, 406, 426, 433, 441, 483, 537, 542, 592, 607, 611, 651, 668, 673, 696, 730, 743, 820, 846, 856, 857, 870, 876, 878, 882, 898, 900, 925, 942, 946, 951, 953, 970, 998

Five-SeveN Heat Treated

The Five-SeveN's consensus best is #904 - a near-perfect blue slide, with Factory New examples reported above $2,000. Its wider tier-1 set (48, 67, 111, 148, 159, 259, 263, 273, 297, 308, 321, 341, 347, 426, 461, 482, 517, 530, 567, 704, 723, 790, 792, 843, 885, 948, 990) overlaps suspiciously with the Deagle lists - most published rankings recycle the same database for both pistols - so treat mid-tier seeds as approximate and judge the actual blue coverage in-game.

BUYING RULE

Same as Case Hardened: the seed fixes the blue, the float only adds scratches. Verify the seed against a database screenshot, then inspect in-game. Never pay a gem premium off a listing thumbnail.

OBLIGATORY PLUG
