CS2’s $1 Million AK-47 Skin Unveiled After 10 Years

In the virtual world of Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), an extraordinary discovery has sent shockwaves through the gaming community.

A decade after its addition to CS:GO in 2013, an incredibly rare AK-47 Case Hardened skin has surfaced, astonishing enthusiasts and collectors alike. This isn’t just any skin; it’s a one-of-a-kind treasure, valued at an astounding one million dollars.

The AK-47 Case Hardened skin, identified as the elusive Blue Gem, was first spotted on January 15th by OhnePixel, a renowned skin expert and owner of SkinBid.

It originally appeared on Buff, a Chinese skin trading website, on January 4th. What sets this skin apart is a perfect storm of rarity factors: its weapon type, a pristine factory new condition, a unique #661 design pattern, a highly desirable float value of 0.04827452823519707, and the coveted StatTrak feature.

Case Hardened skins in CS2, known for their distinctive metallic finishes, are already a sought-after commodity. Within this category, the Blue Gems and Gold Gems stand out for their maximum concentration of blue or gold in the design, making them exceptionally rare and valuable.

The AK-47 Case Hardened Blue Gem’s emergence is nothing short of a historical event in the CS2 world.

It is a singular entity due to its specific attributes, particularly its Factory New condition combined with the #661 design pattern. As Dexerto reports, while there are other similar AK-47 Case Hardened skins in the StatTrak 661 pattern, they are in a lesser Minimal Wear condition.

Skin expert OhnePixel values this mythical rarity between $800,000 and $1,000,000 USD, making it potentially the second most expensive CS2 skin in the world.

It’s surpassed only by the legendary Karambit Case Hardened Factory New 387 Pattern, a singular Blue Gem valued at over $1.5 million. Interestingly, an offer of $1.4 million for this knife skin was famously declined a few years back.

The identity of the owner of this extraordinary AK-47 Case Hardened StatTrak Factory New 661 Pattern remains shrouded in mystery. But one thing is clear: its sale, if it ever happens, is set to be a landmark event in the world of CS2 skin trading.

This discovery is a testament to the enduring allure and value of virtual items in the gaming world.

It highlights not just the economic aspect of in-game skins but also their status as collectible art forms, coveted by enthusiasts who see beyond the pixels to the rarity and history each item carries.
