MAC-10 | Calf Skin

Origin Story

The MAC-10 Calf Skin, released in 2018 with the FACEIT 2018, is part of The 2018 Inferno Collection. This skin features a hand-painted brown checkerboard pattern with white accents, giving it a muted, almost fabric-like appearance. Its design, classified as Gunsmith, integrates custom paint with the weapon's underlying model details. The skin functions as a budget-friendly option for collectors completing 2018 Inferno sets or players seeking a neutral-colored MAC-10.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Calf Skin is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 11 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Inferno Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Inferno Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Inferno Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2018 Inferno Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Calf Skin are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1.18): The checkerboard pattern is sharp and clean with maximum color contrast between the brown squares and white accents, showing uniform and intact surfaces.
• Minimal Wear ($0.27): The overall appearance remains very clean, with the checkerboard pattern fully readable and white accents remaining bright, though light wear may begin to show on front edges.
• Field-Tested ($0.14): The pattern softens noticeably, with brown checkers and white areas looking more muted, especially on corners and frequently handled surfaces like the muzzle and receiver edges.
• Well-Worn ($0.13): Significant chipping and fading occur along nearly all high-contact edges, causing checkerboard squares closest to the edges to appear partially missing or smudged.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.08): Heavy wear across the weapon results in large sections of the checkerboard losing clarity, with base material potentially dominating on edges and high-contact panels, and white accents appearing heavily dulled or patchy.

Model

Calf Skin uses the legacy MAC-10 model, introduced with FACEIT 2018 – Ways to Watch on September 1, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

How to Obtain

The MAC-10 | Calf Skin is exclusively available as a Souvenir item, originally distributed in souvenir packages like the London 2018 Inferno Souvenir Package and Berlin 2019 Inferno Souvenir Package.

Since these tournaments have concluded, new souvenir packages are no longer being distributed. Consequently, players today acquire this skin by purchasing existing copies from the Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces, or case-opening sites.

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: It has been hand painted with a brown checkerboard pattern and white accents. The dominant colors are brown, beige, and white. In first-person view, the checkerboard body and the white accent areas on the upper receiver and stock are the most visible elements. The finish visually reads as a muted, patterned, almost fabric-like check rather than a shiny or metallic surface.
