Best CS2 MAC-10 Skins: Every Price Tier Ranked (2026)

By Ryxens · Published · Updated

Four MAC-10 submachine gun skins in a row

Short answer: MAC-10 is one of the few CS2 weapons with two separate Covert-rarity skins, Neon Rider and Stalker, instead of the usual one. Neither is actually the weapon’s most expensive skin. That title belongs to Hot Snakes, only Classified rarity, which trades for roughly $172-338 in Factory New, well above either Covert grail. Rarity breaks down even further at the bottom of the lineup: MAC-10 Indigo, the weapon’s lowest possible Consumer-grade rarity, still sells for around $30 in Factory New on nostalgia and pro-player history alone, pricier than most of the weapon’s Restricted-tier skins.

Tier Price range Examples
Budget Under $10 Silver, Calf Skin, Acid Hex, Sakkaku
Mid-range $10-50 Indigo, Curse, Disco Tech
Premium $50-150+ Toybox, Propaganda, Case Hardened, Graven, Hot Snakes
Grail (2 Covert skins) $34-127 Neon Rider, Stalker

The best budget MAC-10 skins under $10

Answer: Silver, Calf Skin, Acid Hex, and Sakkaku all sell for a few dollars or less, and each comes from a genuinely different source despite the similar price tag.

Silver, Industrial grade, runs $0.24-0.90 and never came from a case at all, it’s collection-only through the 2014 Bank Collection. Calf Skin, also Industrial, sits at $0.03-1.42 in normal quality but its souvenir version, tied to the London 2018 Faceit Major, climbs to roughly $11.50 in Factory New. Acid Hex is the newest of the four, added April 2025 as part of the Boreal Collection, and stays cheap at $0.02-0.60. Sakkaku is the one Restricted-rarity skin in this bracket, from the February 2023 Revolution Case, and despite its higher rarity tier it still trades for just $0.30-1.15 in normal quality, though its souvenir copies jump to $17-67. See our CS2 cases guide for how that same rarity-tier drop structure applies across every case on this list.

The best mid-range MAC-10 skins ($10-50)

Answer: Indigo, Curse, and Disco Tech all cross into double-digit pricing in their better conditions, even though two of the three are cheap in most other conditions.

Indigo is the odd one out here: it’s Consumer grade, the lowest rarity a CS2 skin can have, from the 2014 Cobblestone Collection, and its Minimal Wear through Battle-Scarred copies stay under $4. Factory New is a different story entirely, roughly $30, driven almost entirely by nostalgia and its history in pro play rather than anything mechanical about the skin itself. Curse, Restricted rarity from the Huntsman Collection, released the same day in 2014 as the Huntsman Weapon Case, runs $6.64-31.52 across most conditions, though Battle-Scarred copies have actually traded above Factory New recently, a thin-supply quirk rather than a sign worn copies are more desirable. Disco Tech, Classified rarity from the March 2020 Prisma 2 Case, follows the more familiar pattern, $4.68-6.96 across Minimal Wear through Battle-Scarred, then a jump to roughly $25 in Factory New.

The best premium MAC-10 skins ($50-150+)

Answer: Toybox, Propaganda, Case Hardened, and Graven all clear $50 at the top of their range, and Case Hardened in particular is worth knowing about since it carries its own pattern-seed system separate from condition, similar in concept to AK-47’s far more famous version.

Toybox, Classified from the September 2021 Operation Riptide Case, runs $15.30-77.69 depending on wear. Propaganda, also Classified and from the same 2021 Riptide update via the Train Collection, covers a similar $26.30-97.91 range. Case Hardened, only Restricted rarity, comes from six different Dust II souvenir packages spanning 2021 through 2025 and runs $26.30-52.62, with its own Blue Gem-style pattern variants that can push specific seeds well above typical pricing, see our best CS2 AK-47 skins guide for how that same pattern-seed mechanic works at a much larger scale on a different weapon. Graven, Restricted from the 2013 Operation Bravo Case, one of the game’s oldest, runs $17.14-166.41, among the widest spreads on the weapon outside the actual grails.

Two Covert grails, and the Classified skin that outprices both

Answer: Neon Rider, from the April 2015 Chroma 2 Case, runs $102-113 across most conditions. Stalker, from the November 2019 Shattered Web Case, covers a wider $34-127 range. Both are Covert rarity, the weapon’s highest tier, and both are still cheaper than Hot Snakes, a Classified skin that trades for roughly $172-338.

Most weapons on this site have exactly one Covert grail and everything else sits below it in price too. MAC-10 breaks that pattern twice over: it has two Covert skins instead of one, and neither is actually the priciest skin on the weapon. Hot Snakes, released December 2020 through the Havoc Collection with no case attached at all, outprices both Neon Rider and Stalker by a wide margin, driven by an estimated drop rate of roughly 1 in 52,000 for Factory New copies rather than anything about its rarity label. Stalker’s own case, the Shattered Web Case, is worth knowing separately, it’s the same case that produced Tec-9 Decimator, AK-47 Rat Rod, and MP7 Neon Ply, see our best CS2 Tec-9 skins guide, our best CS2 AK-47 skins guide, and our best CS2 MP7 skins guide for how that same November 2019 case plays out on a pistol, a rifle, and another SMG. MAC-10 is one of only two weapons on this site with two Covert-rarity skins instead of one, the other is Five-SeveN, see our best CS2 Five-SeveN skins guide for how that weapon’s two Coverts, unlike these two, actually stay the priciest skins on their weapon.

FAQ

What’s the best CS2 MAC-10 skin overall?

Hot Snakes if you want the single priciest and most recognized MAC-10 skin, roughly $172-338, even though it’s only Classified rarity. Neon Rider or Stalker are the better picks if you specifically want the weapon’s highest available rarity tier, Covert.

Does MAC-10 have more than one Covert-rarity skin?

Yes, MAC-10 has two, Neon Rider from the Chroma 2 Case and Stalker from the Shattered Web Case. That’s unusual, most CS2 weapons have exactly one Covert-tier skin.

Why is Hot Snakes so expensive if it’s not even Covert rarity?

Its price comes down to an extremely thin drop rate, estimated at roughly 1 in 52,000 for Factory New copies, and no case ever offered it, it’s collection-only through the Havoc Collection. That scarcity pushes it above both of the weapon’s actual Covert skins.

Why is MAC-10 Indigo worth $30 if it’s Consumer grade?

Consumer is the lowest rarity a CS2 skin can have, but Indigo’s Factory New price still reaches roughly $30 thanks to its history with early pro players and tournament souvenir packages going back to 2014, demand that has nothing to do with its rarity tier.

Does MAC-10 have a pattern-based skin like AK-47 Case Hardened?

Yes, MAC-10 Case Hardened uses the same kind of pattern-seed system, just at a much smaller scale, typical copies run $26-53 rather than the six and seven-figure sums the rarest AK-47 Case Hardened patterns have reached.
