Origin Story
The UMP-45 | Fade was released on September 22, 2021, as part of The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, coinciding with Operation Riptide. This skin features a vibrant gradient of transparent paints airbrushed over a chrome base coat, creating a metallic fade effect. It is considered a high-end collector's item, valued for its premium finish and rarity within the souvenir market. The skin's visual appeal and limited availability contribute to its status as a distinctive piece for discerning collectors.
Drop Chance
UMP-45 | Fade is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Dust II Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Dust II Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package.
Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Classified skins like Fade are a small fraction of total package contents. There is 1 other Classified skin in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New ($272.46): This tier showcases the UMP-45 | Fade with maximum color vibrancy and a bright, reflective chrome base coat, exhibiting no visible edge wear. Minimal Wear ($329.51): The overall Fade gradient remains nearly identical to Factory New, with only a slight softening of the metallic sheen and potentially minor, localized edge wear on high-contact points, though differences are often subtle.
Model
Fade uses the current UMP-45 model, added with Operation Riptide on September 22, 2021. The Anodized Multicolored finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.
