MAC-10 | Strats

Origin Story

The MAC-10 Strats was released on September 22, 2021, as part of Operation Riptide and is found in The 2021 Vertigo Collection. This intricate blueprint design is directly referenced in its flavor text, "All according to plan..."

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Strats is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Vertigo Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Vertigo 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 Vertigo Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Consumer Grade skins like Strats are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 4 other Consumer Grade skins 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 0.6. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($7.21): The hydrographic pattern of the 51st floor's construction, HVAC, and wiring plans is fully intact and vibrant.
• Minimal Wear ($1.40): Minor wear begins to appear on high-contact surfaces, but the intricate pattern remains largely clear.
• Field-Tested ($0.66): The hydrographic pattern shows noticeable wear and some fading, particularly on exposed areas of the weapon.
• Well-Worn ($1.20): Significant wear and degradation of the pattern are visible, with parts of the design becoming less distinct.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.70): The hydrographic pattern is heavily worn and faded across the weapon, making the underlying details difficult to discern.

Model

Strats uses the current MAC-10 model, added with Operation Riptide on September 22, 2021.

How to Obtain

The MAC-10 | Strats is exclusively available as a Souvenir item, originally distributed in souvenir packages like the Antwerp 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package and the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package. These packages were awarded to viewers during past Major tournaments when watching matches played on the Vertigo map. Since these tournaments have concluded, new souvenir packages are no longer being distributed. Consequently, players primarily acquire this skin by purchasing it directly from other players on the Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces, or through various case-opening and skin trading sites.

Sticker Compatibility

The MAC-10 | Strats features a hydrographic pattern, which can make sticker application challenging as busy backgrounds sometimes obscure sticker details. No specific sticker color recommendations or placement preferences are widely recognized for this skin.
