Short answer: MP7 mostly plays it straight compared to several other weapons covered on this site. Bloodsport, its only Covert-rarity skin, really is one of the priciest at $27-72 depending on wear. But two of the weapon’s lowest-rarity skins complicate that story anyway: Groundwater, Consumer grade, the lowest tier in the game, and Orange Peel, only Industrial, both reach Factory New prices that meet or exceed Bloodsport’s, despite sitting two and three rarity tiers below it.
| Tier | Price range | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | Under $10 | Forest DDPAT, Motherboard, Special Delivery |
| Mid-range | $10-50 | Nemesis, Abyssal Apparition, Impire, Neon Ply, Smoking Kills |
| Premium | $50-150+ | Groundwater (Consumer), Orange Peel (Industrial) |
| Grail (1 Covert skin) | $27-72 | Bloodsport |
The best budget MP7 skins under $10
Answer: Forest DDPAT, Motherboard, and Special Delivery all sell for a few dollars or less, and none of them are the two low-rarity outliers that drive this weapon’s real story.
Forest DDPAT, Consumer grade from the 2014 Bank Collection, never came from a case at all and stays cheap at $0.01-2.42 in normal quality. Motherboard, Industrial from the 2018 Nuke Collection souvenir packages, is even cheaper, $0.02-0.32. Special Delivery, Restricted rarity from the September 2015 Shadow Case, the same case that produced USP-S Kill Confirmed, see our best CS2 USP-S skins guide for how that same case plays out on a pistol with a Covert-tier grail instead, runs $0.94-8.52.
The best mid-range MP7 skins ($10-50)
Answer: Nemesis, Abyssal Apparition, Impire, Neon Ply, and Smoking Kills all sit in the $10-50 band in their better conditions.
Nemesis, Classified from the May 2015 Falchion Case, runs $6.35-21.05. Abyssal Apparition, also Classified, comes from the January 2022 Dreams & Nightmares Case and covers $5.37-15.95. Impire, Restricted from the February 2016 Operation Wildfire Case, currently one of the highest-ROI cases still worth checking on our CS2 cases guide, runs $2.33-15.13. Neon Ply, also Restricted, comes from the November 2019 Shattered Web Case, see our best CS2 MAC-10 skins guide for how that same case has now produced pieces of four different weapons’ rankings on this site, and runs $2-26.93. Smoking Kills, Classified, is the newest of the group, released September 2025 through the Genesis Collection, and covers $3.93-27.81.
The best premium MP7 skins ($50-150+), and neither one is Covert
Answer: Groundwater and Orange Peel both clear $50 in Factory New, and that’s the real surprise here, Groundwater is Consumer grade, the lowest rarity a CS2 skin can have, and Orange Peel is only Industrial, one tier above it.
Groundwater, from the September 2013 Alpha Collection, stays under $4 through Minimal Wear and worse but reaches roughly $51-92 in Factory New depending on the marketplace. Orange Peel, from the November 2013 Mirage Collection, tells a similar story, cheap through most conditions but running $38-176 in Factory New. Both are old enough to predate most of the case system as it exists today, and both carry souvenir versions tied to 2013-2015 Major packages that push even higher, Orange Peel’s souvenir Factory New copies have been listed as high as $1,278. Age and tournament-souvenir history, not rarity tier, are doing all the work on these two, the same mechanism behind MP9 Bulldozer and Five-SeveN Candy Apple from the same 2013 era, see our CS2 skin rarity guide for the full cross-weapon breakdown of why this keeps happening.
Bloodsport: the Covert grail that’s actually the priciest skin, for once
Answer: Bloodsport, from the February 2018 Clutch Case, is MP7’s only Covert-rarity skin and runs $27.40-71.52 depending on wear, genuinely among the weapon’s priciest options even with Groundwater and Orange Peel in the picture.
Bloodsport shares its red-and-white finish family with the much more famous AK-47 Bloodsport, see our best CS2 AK-47 skins guide for the rifle version of the same design from a different case entirely, the Spectrum Case. Whether MP7’s Covert grail is genuinely the weapon’s most expensive skin depends on which marketplace you check for Orange Peel’s Factory New price, on some listings Bloodsport still wins outright, on others Orange Peel edges ahead. Either way it’s a much closer race than the usual case on this site, where a weapon’s actual Covert skin either dominates comfortably or gets embarrassed by a much lower rarity tier. MP7 sits right on the line between those two outcomes.
FAQ
What’s the best CS2 MP7 skin overall?
Bloodsport for most buyers, $27-72 depending on wear, and it’s the weapon’s only Covert-rarity skin. Groundwater and Orange Peel are worth knowing about too since their Factory New prices get close to or past Bloodsport’s despite much lower rarity.
Is MP7 Bloodsport the same skin as AK-47 Bloodsport?
No, they share the same red-and-white finish family and design language but are separate skins from separate cases, MP7’s from the Clutch Case and AK-47’s from the Spectrum Case.
Why is MP7 Groundwater expensive if it’s Consumer grade?
Age and tournament history. Groundwater dates back to September 2013’s Alpha Collection and has souvenir versions tied to early Majors, both of which push its Factory New price well above what Consumer-grade skins usually command.
What case does MP7 Neon Ply come from?
The November 2019 Shattered Web Case, the same case that has also produced notable skins for AK-47, Tec-9, and MAC-10 on this site, all covered across their respective weapon rankings.
What’s the cheapest MP7 skin actually worth buying?
Motherboard, $0.02-0.32 across most conditions. Forest DDPAT is a close second, both well under $3 in any normal condition.
