Pudge's most famous hook. A copy with an extra Ethereal socket holding Trail of Burning Doom («BUG龙钩» in China) is one of the rarest bugged items: it was listed with a $37,000 buyout in 2021, and a trader valued it at about 200,000 yuan.

Por qué los coleccionistas pagan más
Tirada limitada
Cuando Valve corrige el bug, no aparecen ejemplares nuevos. Los que ya existen se convierten en una edición limitada, como un sello con error de impresión.
Prueba visible
Un efecto, engarce o estilo imposible se ve en cada partida y en la vista de inspección, así que el dueño puede demostrar que su ejemplar es especial.
Un pedazo de historia
La mayoría de estos ejemplares proviene de un evento, un tesoro o un periodo concreto entre parches. Los coleccionistas pagan por ese origen, no solo por el aspecto.
Las más caras a la venta
Los ejemplares bugueados y los normales comparten nombre en el mercado, así que los precios de abajo son del ejemplar más barato a la venta, normalmente uno normal. Un ejemplar bugueado cuesta más: pide al vendedor la vista de inspección o una captura.
Engarces de gemas bugueados
32Engarces que la skin no debería tener: ranuras extra, tipos de gema que normalmente no admite o gemas que quedaron de una versión antigua de la skin.
Chinese guides describe Unusual couriers that survived having their gems taken out and kept two empty sockets. Normally extracting an Ethereal gem destroys the courier, so such a copy has no effect at all and can be re-customised cheaply.

Unusual couriers that rolled Crystal Rift between November and December 2013 got a stray Prismatic colour (26, 6, 133) instead of Crystalline Blue. Valve fixed the roll by early 2014 but left existing copies, which traders sell as "legacy Crystal Rift"; this badger is a common example.

Tusk's Stinger should carry the Kinetic: Dizzying Punch! gem. A Valve developer explained that 478 copies had all five sockets taken, so they never got the gem and its effect; their owners received an extra Stinger instead.

Awarded for the fastest Roshan kills in Diretide 2012. Teams damaged Roshan before the timer started to post impossible times; Valve made him invulnerable until the last phase but did not revoke the couriers, so exploit-won copies cannot be told apart.
This gem normally comes only from destroying a Platinum Baby Roshan, yet bundles of 43 appeared in June 2025 and 28 sold in two weeks of March after 11 sales in eight years. One gem fell from about $25,000 to $4,000. In 2025 an item duplication exploit hit rare items; Valve stopped market listings of items on trade cooldown on 9 October 2025, while reports of the exploit continued into 2026.
A rare courier named among the duplicated items in 2025 reports. Valve reportedly deleted some duplicates, but in January 2026 the exploit was still described as open. In 2025 an item duplication exploit hit rare items; Valve stopped market listings of items on trade cooldown on 9 October 2025, while reports of the exploit continued into 2026.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué se considera una skin bugueada de Dota 2?
Un ejemplar con una propiedad que Valve no previó: un engarce que no debería tener, un efecto inusual de otro mensajero o evento, un estilo desbloqueado sin cumplir su requisito o una recompensa obtenida mediante un exploit. La skin base es normal; el bug solo afecta a ejemplares concretos.
¿Por qué las skins bugueadas cuestan más?
La tirada es limitada: tras la corrección no aparecen ejemplares nuevos y los coleccionistas pagan por una rareza que se puede ver y demostrar. Los precios varían mucho; ahora 79 de 84 skins de esta lista tienen una oferta activa.
¿Puede Valve quitar el bug de mi skin?
Sí. Valve suele corregir la causa sin tocar los ejemplares existentes, pero algunas correcciones cambian la definición de la skin y el efecto desaparece para todos. Trata la propiedad bugueada como un extra, no como un valor garantizado.
¿Cómo compruebo una skin bugueada antes de comprarla?
Los ejemplares normales y los bugueados comparten nombre en el mercado, así que el título del anuncio no prueba nada. Abre la vista de inspección o el inventario del vendedor, compara gemas, efecto y estilo con las fuentes de cada skin y elige mercados con protección al comprador.
Las descripciones se recopilan de fuentes públicas de la comunidad enlazadas en cada skin; la lista se actualiza cuando Valve corrige un bug. Los nombres e imágenes de las skins de Dota 2 pertenecen a Valve.
