AK-47 | Fire Serpent

Origin Story

The AK-47 | Fire Serpent, a classic high-tier skin, stands out with its vibrant green body and contrasting orange and red fire serpent motif. This distinctive design, painted as a memento from Ruins, was introduced on September 19, 2013, as part of The Bravo Collection during Operation Bravo. It is widely regarded as a collector's piece and a status symbol, often mentioned in discussions of "dream inventories" and "OG skins." The Fire Serpent's unique visual identity, featuring an almost hand-painted, mural-like serpent, sets it apart from more modern, futuristic designs. Its legacy as an early CS:GO operation skin and its appeal as a prestige craft base for rare stickers contribute to its enduring desirability.

Drop Chance

AK-47 | Fire Serpent is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Bravo Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Covert drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There is 1 other Covert skin in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.76. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.
