MP5-SD | Kitbash

Origin Story

The MP5-SD | Kitbash, released on August 7, 2020, as part of The Fracture Collection during the On the Case update, embodies a distinctive "kit-built" aesthetic. Its design features visible duct tape, zip ties, and mismatched mechanical parts, creating a cobbled-together appearance. The in-game description notes that "20 years of MP5 designs have contributed to this custom paint job, held together by duct tape, zip ties, and glue," a sentiment reinforced by its flavor text, "If at first (and second and third) you don't succeed…" This skin is generally regarded as a mid-tier, flavor-rich craft base and a budget-friendly option.

Drop Chance

MP5-SD | Kitbash is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Fracture 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 Fracture 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 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($3.71): The custom paint job, duct tape, and zip ties appear crisp and clean with sharp detailing and vibrant colors, showing no visible scratches on edges.
• Minimal Wear ($1.11): The Gunsmith finish remains very clean, with only very light scratches or dulling beginning to appear on extreme edges like the muzzle or magazine well.
• Field-Tested ($0.51): Noticeable wear appears on main metal surfaces, including scuffs on the barrel shroud and receiver edges, though the core DIY identity remains clear.
• Well-Worn ($0.54): Heavier wear is present on most exposed metal surfaces, with more muted colors and extensive scratching and fade on the barrel and receiver.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): The weapon shows strong overall wear with substantial fading and scratching across most metal sections, giving it a significantly more used and battered appearance.

Model

Kitbash uses the legacy MP5-SD model, introduced with On the Case on August 7, 2020. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: 20 years of MP5 designs have contributed to this custom paint job, held together by duct tape, zip ties, and glue. The skin features muted industrial tones of grays, blacks, and metallics, accented by colored tapes and zip ties. In first-person view, the front receiver, handguard, and tape-wrapped sections near the barrel are most prominent. Players sometimes describe its aesthetic as "cobbled together" or "junkyard-style," fitting a DIY theme.

Sticker Compatibility

The MP5-SD | Kitbash is considered a mid-tier craft base, appealing to those who appreciate its "cobbled together" or "DIY" aesthetic. Its Gunsmith finish, featuring industrial parts and accents like duct tape and zip ties, pairs well with neutral, industrial-themed stickers or bright accent colors such as yellow, orange, blue, or red. These choices can either blend with the mechanical base or highlight the skin's unique, makeshift identity.
