PP-Bizon | Embargo

Origin Story

The PP-Bizon | Embargo was released on November 19, 2019, as part of The Shattered Web Collection, accompanying the launch of Operation Shattered Web. This Custom Paint Job finish gives the weapon a collage-like appearance, pieced together from found items. As a mid-tier skin from a discontinued operation, it holds appeal for collectors interested in the Shattered Web collection. The skin's unique visual theme sets it apart, offering a flavorful option for loadouts.

Drop Chance

PP-Bizon | Embargo is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Shattered Web 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 Shattered Web 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.

• Factory New ($25.70): The teal base is fully saturated with sharp, legible 1950s Havana advertisement graphics and minimal visible scratches.
• Minimal Wear ($7.60): Light edge scuffing appears on high-contact parts like the muzzle and magazine edges, but the core teal tone and ad panels remain bright.
• Field-Tested ($2.53): Noticeable wear on exposed edges and the front portion of the weapon, with small to moderate chips in the teal base and along advertisement borders.
• Well-Worn ($2.39): Heavy wear on most high-contact edges, with significant portions of teal paint and ad graphics chipped off near the front and along the magazine.
• Battle-Scarred ($2.36): Large sections of the teal paint and graphics are worn down or missing, leaving the weapon with a very distressed, patchy look.

Sticker Compatibility

The PP-Bizon | Embargo's teal base and retro Havana advertisements pair well with stickers in teal, aqua, or pastel schemes, as well as white, cream, or gold to complement its vintage aesthetic. Minimal black or monochrome logos can also provide strong contrast against the teal panels. The side sticker slots on the receiver offer the most visibility for showcasing preferred decals.
