MP5-SD | Phosphor

Origin Story

The MP5-SD | Phosphor features a dark base custom painted with dripping neon pink, green, and teal. This vivid application of color gives the SMG a distinctive appearance, making it easily recognizable in-game. It was released on December 6, 2018, as part of The Danger Zone Collection, accompanying the Welcome to the Danger Zone update.

Drop Chance

MP5-SD | Phosphor is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the Danger Zone Case: approximately 1.07% per opening (roughly 1 in 94). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 3 Classified skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.11% from the Danger Zone Case (about 1 in 937). 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 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($16.95): The vibrant pink, green, and teal paint pattern is fully intact.
• Minimal Wear ($8.62): Minor abrasions appear on the edges of the weapon, but the paint pattern remains bright.
• Field-Tested ($6.16): Noticeable wear begins to dull the paint effect in some areas, particularly on the stock and grip.
• Well-Worn ($6.47): The painted elements show significant degradation and scuffing, making the pattern less distinct.
• Battle-Scarred ($5.70): The paint finish is heavily abraded across the weapon, with much of its vibrant effect lost.

Model

Phosphor 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.
