MAC-10 | Light Box

Origin Story

The MAC-10 | Light Box, released on February 7, 2024, as part of The Kilowatt Collection with the A Call To Arms update, presents a unique visual concept. Its custom paint job creates the illusion of looking directly into the MAC-10's internal mechanics, showcasing an x-ray or cutaway motif. This Gunsmith finish highlights the weapon's inner workings with dark greys, blacks, and metallic tones, accented by lighter mechanical detailing and subtle colored components. As a Mil-Spec skin, it offers an accessible yet visually distinct option for players seeking a modern, gunsmith-style MAC-10.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Light Box is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Kilowatt 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 Kilowatt 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($1.70): The internal mechanical elements and subtle accent colors are fully visible and crisp, showcasing the "inside the gun" concept.
• Minimal Wear ($0.28): Minor wear begins to appear on the edges and high-contact areas, but the primary mechanical details remain clear.
• Field-Tested ($0.11): Noticeable wear and scuffs develop on the receiver and other exposed parts, slightly obscuring some of the finer internal details.
• Well-Worn ($0.08): Significant wear is present across the weapon, with the dark grey and black tones showing substantial degradation and the mechanical parts appearing heavily used.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.10): The finish is heavily worn, with much of the original "light box" effect obscured by extensive scratching and discoloration, making the internal components less distinct.

Model

Light Box uses the current MAC-10 model, added with A Call To Arms on February 7, 2024. The Gunsmith finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.

Sticker Compatibility

The MAC-10 | Light Box, with its dark grey and black mechanical theme, pairs well with monochrome or grayscale stickers, or those with electric and neon accent colors to mimic technical highlights. On MAC-10 skins, stickers are typically applied to the main body and the magazine, with the left-side body slot often being most visible during gameplay. This skin is considered a potential craft base due to its general-use status.
