USP-S | The Traitor

Origin Story

USP-S | The Traitor entered CS:GO during Operation Broken Fang, inspired by the dramatic aesthetic of the Hanged Man tarot card. The skin uses deep reds, gold accents, symbolic patterns, and snake-like visual elements to create a layered narrative: transformation, sacrifice, and rebirth. As one of the standout Covert-tier USP-S skins of its era, it blends mysticism and storytelling into a striking, high-contrast visual identity.

Drop Chance

Rarity Tier: Covert (Red)

Tier Base Drop Chance (Covert): 0.64%
Total Covert Skins in Snakebite Case: 2 (including The Traitor)
Individual Skin Drop Chance: ≈ 0.32% per case
StatTrak™ Variant Chance: ≈ 0.03% per case

Because the Covert-pool is small but the base chance is low, The Traitor remains one of the rarer USP-S skins obtainable from active case openings. Most trading volume comes from previously unboxed copies rather than fresh drops.

Skin Condition

The USP-S | The Traitor has a float range of 0.00 – 1.00, offering every wear state from Factory New to Battle-Scarred.

• Wear influences color depth, gold detailing brightness, and the visibility of the tarot-inspired linework. Light wear models maintain a sharp finish, while heavy-wear versions soften the details and deepen the red tones for a gritty, distressed occult appearance.

Model

USP-S | The Traitor originates from CS:GO, meaning it uses the legacy CS:GO USP-S model when viewed in CS2.
