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.

Exemplaren met eigenschappen die Valve nooit zo bedoeld heeft: verkeerde sockets voor edelstenen, Unusual-effecten op koeriers die ze niet horen te hebben, kapotte stijlen en beloningen verkregen via exploits. Bij elke skin staan de uitleg van de bug, de bronnen en waar hij nu te koop is.
Waarom verzamelaars meer betalen
Beperkte oplage
Zodra Valve de bug verhelpt, komen er geen nieuwe exemplaren bij. De bestaande vormen een beperkte oplage, zoals een postzegel met een drukfout.
Zichtbaar bewijs
Een onmogelijk effect, socket of stijl is in elke match en bij het inspecteren te zien, dus de eigenaar kan bewijzen dat zijn exemplaar bijzonder is.
Een stukje geschiedenis
De meeste van deze exemplaren komen uit een bepaald event, een schat of de periode vóór een patch. Verzamelaars betalen voor die herkomst, niet alleen voor het uiterlijk.
Nu het duurst te koop
Gebugde en normale exemplaren hebben dezelfde marktnaam, dus de prijzen hieronder gelden voor het goedkoopste exemplaar, meestal een normaal. Een gebugd exemplaar kost meer: vraag de verkoper om het via Inspecteren te tonen of om een screenshot.
Gebugde sockets
32Sockets die een skin niet hoort te hebben: extra plekken, soorten edelstenen die er normaal niet in passen, of edelstenen die over zijn van een oudere versie van de 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.

Legion Commander's arcana, released in December 2013 inside the bug window. Chinese guides describe the original "lava" arcana: a copy with an extra Ethereal socket holding Trail of Burning Doom.

Faceless Void's mace (every Timebreaker is Elder quality). In 2014 socketing the Inscribed "Assists" gem and then removing it could leave an Ethereal socket behind. Chinese guides count single-digit surviving copies per item. A single bugged Timebreaker is known, with lightning and green effects.

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.
A regular, non-Unusual courier; bugged copies picked up Ethereal sockets during the 2013–2014 gem bugs and show effects without the Unusual quality. Several sellers offered copies with a Champion's Aura 2014 gem, and dual copies exist (Champion's Aura 2012 + 2014, Trail of Burning Doom + Touch of Frost).

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.
Exploits en eventfouten
9Exemplaren verkregen via een bug of exploit: per vergissing uitgedeelde beloningen, dubbele drops en zeldzame varianten die in grotere aantallen in omloop kwamen.
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.
The "lava" effect gem. About 150 sold in March 2025 against a couple per week before, which traders linked to the duplication exploit. 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.
Ursa's Alpine Stalker's set left the store about a week after its 2012 release. On 30 October 2014 it was added to the drop list by mistake and dropped about 20 times before the next day's patch removed it.

An Ethereal gem with no effect name: the game files map it to a placeholder sparkle and the localisation has no title. Traders describe it as a bugged 2014 Champion's Aura gem without a visible effect.
Veelgestelde vragen
Wat telt als een gebugde Dota 2-skin?
Een exemplaar met een eigenschap die Valve niet bedoelde: een socket die het niet hoort te hebben, een Unusual-effect van een andere koerier of een ander event, een stijl zonder vervulde voorwaarde of een beloning uit een exploit. De skin zelf is gewoon; de bug zit in specifieke exemplaren.
Waarom kosten gebugde skins meer?
De oplage is beperkt: nadat de bug is verholpen, komen er geen nieuwe exemplaren bij, en verzamelaars betalen voor een zeldzaamheid die je kunt zien en bewijzen. Prijzen lopen sterk uiteen; nu hebben 79 van de 84 skins in deze lijst een actuele aanbieding.
Kan Valve de bug van mijn skin verwijderen?
Ja. Meestal verhelpt Valve de oorzaak en laat het bestaande exemplaren met rust, maar sommige fixes veranderen de definitie van de skin en dan verdwijnt het effect voor iedereen. Zie de gebugde eigenschap als bonus, niet als gegarandeerde waarde.
Hoe controleer ik een gebugde skin vóór aankoop?
Normale en gebugde exemplaren hebben dezelfde marktnaam, dus de titel van de aanbieding bewijst niets. Inspecteer het exemplaar of bekijk de inventaris van de verkoper, vergelijk edelstenen, effect en stijl met de bronnen bij de skin en kies marktplaatsen met kopersbescherming.
