Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert

The Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert is a CS2 weapon skin based on the CS:GO (legacy) model. It belongs to the visual “Irradiated” style theme, designed to evoke a high-energy, hazard-marked look. Like many popular Sawed-Off finishes, it’s known for standing out on a compact, close-range shotgun—especially in high-contrast gameplay lighting where decals and hazard graphics remain easy to notice.

This skin is classified as Consumer Grade, meaning it’s generally more attainable than higher-tier rarities. While exact drop chances aren’t publicly guaranteed for every account and time period, Consumer Grade items typically appear with relatively higher frequency compared to rarer categories. The float range is 0.06 – 0.8, which covers a wide spectrum of wear, from relatively clean examples to more heavily distressed finishes.

Players can find the Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert in multiple conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak™ is not available for this particular skin, so there’s no kill-counter variant. On the other hand, Souvenir versions are available, which are tied to specific event drops rather than standard case outputs.

Visually, the Irradiated Alert finish uses noticeable hazard-inspired markings and bold graphic elements to create an “alert” aesthetic. With the paint index 171, the skin keeps a consistent decal setup across wear levels, while the overall look changes depending on condition—cleaner wears emphasize sharper lines and decals, while higher wear levels add more visible texture and distress.

For acquisition, this skin is associated with The Nuke Collection. Souvenir-grade options can be found in multiple event container sets, including: ESL One Cologne 2014 Nuke Souvenir Package, DreamHack 2014 Nuke Souvenir Package, ESL One Katowice 2015 Nuke Souvenir Package, MLG Columbus 2016 Nuke Souvenir Package, Cologne 2016 Nuke Souvenir Package, Atlanta 2017 Nuke Souvenir Package, Krakow 2017 Nuke Souvenir Package, and Boston 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package.

In the CS community, the Sawed-Off is already appreciated for its distinctive silhouette and aggressive playstyle, and the Irradiated Alert theme complements that identity with a bold, industrial-hazard vibe. Because it spans many wear conditions and offers Souvenir availability, it’s a go-to pick for players who want a recognizable look without needing a higher rarity tier.
