Overview of the Heat Treated Skin
This skin is part of the Heat Treated series, applying a case-hardened technique that infuses vibrant colors through a heat-treatment process. It features combinations of blue, gold, and purple hues, giving each pattern a distinct appearance. Unlike traditional skins, each pattern is generated with a unique “pattern index,” leading to high variability and collectibility.
Pattern Variations and Their Rarity
Collectors are particularly interested in patterns with a higher concentration of blue—often referred to as “Blue Gem” patterns. These are the most valuable and sought-after due to their rarity and visual appeal. The patterns are ranked based on their blue coverage:
- Rank 1: The rarest and most desirable, with minimal yellow and extensive blue.
- Rank 2: Features significant blue but with some gold or yellow.
- Rank 3: More balanced between blue and gold.
- Purple Patterns: Patterns that lean heavily towards purple hues are also prized by some collectors.
