Souvenir MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden (Well-Worn)
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 chromed then overlayed with a semi transparent hydrographic pattern of nuclear skulls and bones.

Description
The MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden is a CS:GO (legacy) weapon skin that carries over into Counter-Strike 2, with its design anchored in the original CS:GO skin lineup. It’s categorized under the Nuclear Garden finish/pattern and uses paint index 372 on the MAC-10 model. Like many skins from the CS:GO era, it remains popular with players who want reliable, recognizable visuals on a compact SMG platform.
As a Mil-Spec Grade skin, Nuclear Garden sits in the more accessible tier of weapon finishes. While exact drop chances are not publicly guaranteed for specific skins, Mil-Spec items generally have a relatively higher likelihood than higher rarities in typical case/collection mechanics. The float range (0.0 – 0.7) also makes it flexible for players who care about appearance variation without needing ultra-low floats.
You can find the MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden in multiple wear conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak™ is not available for this skin, meaning there’s no kill-counter variant. However, Souvenir versions are available, making it a strong option for collectors who want event-linked items rather than only standard drops.
Visually, Nuclear Garden is known for its themed finish and distinctive pattern work that stands out on the MAC-10’s compact silhouette. The design is built to maintain readability across different wear levels, though the overall contrast and surface presentation will naturally shift between Factory New and Battle-Scarred. Players often choose this skin for its unique look compared to more minimal or purely geometric MAC-10 designs.
For acquisition, this skin is tied to The Cache Collection and appears in multiple official souvenir packages. It has been found in ESL One Cologne 2014 Cache Souvenir Package, DreamHack 2014 Cache Souvenir Package, ESL One Katowice 2015 Cache Souvenir Package, ESL One Cologne 2015 Cache Souvenir Package, DreamHack Cluj-Napoca 2015 Cache Souvenir Package, MLG Columbus 2016 Cache Souvenir Package, and several later Cache Souvenir packages including Cologne 2016, Atlanta 2017, Krakow 2017, Boston 2018, London 2018, and Katowice 2019.
In the community, Mil-Spec skins like Nuclear Garden often earn favor for balancing visual personality with practicality. The presence of Souvenir availability also improves its appeal for esports memorabilia collectors, while standard wear options make it easy to match the skin’s look to personal preferences and playstyle.
