Origin Story

The MP5-SD | Lab Rats, released in December 2018 with the Welcome to the Danger Zone update, features a hydrographic pattern depicting a mischief of rats. This quirky skin is part of The Blacksite Collection, which is tied to the Danger Zone map. It is generally regarded as a niche, novelty pick from an older, now-locked collection. The design's dark gray and black body is accented with yellowish rats, giving it a distinctive visual identity.

Drop Chance

MP5-SD | Lab Rats is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Blacksite Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Restricted drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. It is the only Restricted skin in the collection. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.35. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

  • Factory New (No Recent Price): The hydrographic rat pattern is crisp and fully saturated, with no visible scratches on the main body or silencer.
  • Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The pattern remains very close to Factory New, showing only light edge wear and minor scratches on high-contact points, with the central rat pattern still vibrant.
  • Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable fading and edge wear appear, particularly on the front body and silencer, making the rat pattern look more scuffed and dulled as the float approaches 0.35.

Model

Lab Rats uses the legacy MP5-SD model, introduced with Welcome to the Danger Zone on December 6, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

How to Obtain

The MP5-SD | Lab Rats originates from The Blacksite Collection, which was historically obtainable as a map drop from the Danger Zone / Blacksite map. This collection is no longer part of the active drop pool, meaning new copies do not regularly enter the market. Players can acquire this Restricted skin through trade-up contracts using ten lower-rarity skins from The Blacksite Collection. Additionally, it is available for purchase on the Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces, and various case-opening or skin-trading sites.

Price Range

MP5-SD | Lab Rats ranges from No Recent Price (Field-Tested) to No Recent Price (Factory New). Field-Tested copies sit at No Recent Price.


The current 7-day median is No Recent Price. The 90-day median is No Recent Price. The all-time median is No Recent Price. Volume averages 0 trades per day.

Visual Theme
