MAC-10 | Pipe Down

Origin Story

The MAC-10 | Pipe Down, released on December 6, 2018, with the Welcome to the Danger Zone update, is part of The Danger Zone Collection. Its custom paint job gives the weapon the appearance of being filled with red tubes. This design element makes the MAC-10 | Pipe Down visually distinctive. The skin's flavor text, "Peek behind the curtain," hints at its unique visual identity.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Pipe Down is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Danger Zone Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Danger Zone Case (about 1 in 313). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.9. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($10.02): The red tubes appear vibrant and distinct against the darker base, with the Gunsmith finish responding cleanly to light.
• Minimal Wear ($1.70): Minor wear begins to appear on the edges of the weapon, though the red tubes maintain their clear appearance.
• Field-Tested ($0.81): Noticeable wear and scuffs develop across the body, with the red tube design still prominent but showing signs of use.
• Well-Worn ($0.70): Significant wear is present, causing the red tubes to appear faded and the underlying base to show more distress.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.70): Extensive wear covers the weapon, heavily obscuring the red tube design and giving the MAC-10 a very worn appearance.

Model

Pipe Down uses the legacy MAC-10 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.
