MAC-10 | Fade (Factory New)
Essentially a box that bullets come out of, the MAC-10 SMG boasts a high rate of fire, with poor spread accuracy and high recoil as trade-offs. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.

Description
The MAC-10 | Fade is a modern CS2 skin built on the popular “Fade” finish concept, designed to deliver a smooth, gradient-like color transition across the weapon. As part of the CS2-era catalog, it retains the classic Fade look that players associate with bold, high-contrast styling and a dynamic appearance from different viewing angles.
In terms of rarity, the MAC-10 | Fade is classified as Mil-Spec Grade. While exact drop chances aren’t publicly guaranteed and can vary depending on Valve’s current supply mechanics, Mil-Spec skins are generally considered more attainable than higher rarity tiers, making this Fade variant a common go-to for players who want an eye-catching look without stepping into rare-case premiums.
This skin does not come with StatTrak or Souvenir options. It is available in these condition states: Factory New (0.00–0.01) and Minimal Wear (0.01–0.08), with an overall float range listed as 0 – 0.08. That means most players aiming for the sharpest finish typically focus on the Factory New end of the range.
Visually, the MAC-10 | Fade features a striking color blend—hallmarked by its gradient “fade” pattern and vivid color separation. The skin’s paint index is listed as 38, and the CS2 model styling preserves the intended Fade effect across the weapon’s surfaces, giving it a clean, high-impact look that stands out in common gameplay lighting.
For acquisition, the MAC-10 | Fade can be found via The Chop Shop Collection. This collection-based availability is the primary route for players searching for the skin, as it is not listed as coming from specific cases or containers.
Overall, the MAC-10 | Fade is appreciated in the CS2 community for combining affordability (relative to higher tiers) with a signature, “flashy” aesthetic. Players who like competitive-ready skins with a more aggressive visual identity often consider it a strong pick—especially for those who enjoy Fade finishes and want the look on an SMG platform.
