MAC-10 | Malachite (Battle-Scarred)
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 using metallic effect paints and given a wavy pattern using a rubber comb tool.

Description
The MAC-10 | Malachite is a CS2 weapon skin that follows the CS:GO (legacy) model lineage, bringing the classic aesthetic of the MAC-10 into the current Counter-Strike ecosystem. As part of the broader skin ecosystem tied to older content, it has remained a recognizable choice for players who prefer sharp, high-contrast finishes over subtle, muted designs.
Rarity-wise, the Malachite finish is classified as Restricted. Skins in this rarity typically appear less frequently than common categories, but more often than higher-tier rarities. While exact drop rates aren’t publicly guaranteed per item, Restricted skins like this one are generally considered attainable through case openings—especially compared to rare knife and covert-tier items.
This MAC-10 skin is available across all standard wear levels within the 0.0 to 0.5 float range: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available, allowing players to track kills with the weapon. Souvenir variants are not available for this skin, keeping it focused on the core MAC-10 appearance without special event packaging.
Visually, the Malachite finish stands out with its bold, ornamental patterning inspired by malachite stone tones. With Paint index 402, the skin presents a distinctive look that varies subtly as wear increases—factory-clean versions tend to show sharper pattern definition, while higher-wear examples can look slightly more faded or textured due to surface condition.
To obtain the MAC-10 | Malachite, players typically look through its associated sources: it’s found in The Chroma Collection and available via the Chroma Case. That case-based availability makes it a popular target for players who want a strong visual identity without committing to the top-end rarities.
In the CS2 community, the MAC-10 is already known for its close-range versatility and fast gameplay, and Malachite adds a memorable aesthetic that feels both modern and grounded in classic CS skin design. The combination of Restricted rarity, StatTrak availability, and a striking pattern keeps this skin appealing to collectors and everyday users alike.
