MAC-10 | Ensnared

Origin Story

The MAC-10 | Ensnared, introduced on January 21, 2022, as part of The Dreams & Nightmares Collection, features a custom paint job depicting pixies trapped within the weapon. Its design showcases vivid green and purple pixie figures and swirling magical motifs against a dark base. The in-game description notes these pixies are "eager to escape," with flavor text adding, "They have yet to find someone they cannot fool." This Mil-Spec SMG is considered a budget-friendly option, often chosen by players seeking an affordable MAC-10 from a modern collection or those building a Dreams & Nightmares-themed inventory.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Ensnared is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Dreams & Nightmares Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Dreams & Nightmares Case (about 1 in 88). 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 0.9. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($1.34): The dark base and vibrant green and purple pixie artwork are pristine, with all details sharp and clear.
• Minimal Wear ($0.23): Minor scuffs begin to appear on the edges of the receiver and barrel shroud, but the main pixie motifs remain largely untouched.
• Field-Tested ($0.10): Noticeable wear appears on high-contact areas, with some of the green and purple accents showing fading, particularly on the magazine and front grip.
• Well-Worn ($0.09): Significant abrasion affects the dark base and the vividness of the pixie figures, which show heavier scratching and dulling.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.09): The artwork is heavily degraded across the weapon, with substantial loss of the green and purple colors, revealing much of the underlying dark surface.

Sticker Compatibility

The MAC-10 | Ensnared's dark base with vibrant green and purple pixie artwork provides a striking canvas for stickers. Green, purple, or magenta stickers can complement the existing color palette, while white, silver, or holographic options will stand out against the dark background. The main receiver sticker slots are generally the most visible in first-person gameplay.
