AK-47 | The Outsiders

Origin Story

The AK-47 | The Outsiders, released on October 4, 2024, as part of The Armory update, features a custom paint job with crude depictions of Terrorists in various situations. Its flavor text, "The Ts on the bus win rounds and rounds, rounds and rounds, rounds and rounds," adds a distinct, almost rhythmic character to the design. This skin is part of The Gallery Collection.

Drop Chance

AK-47 | The Outsiders is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the Gallery Case: approximately 1.07% per opening (roughly 1 in 94). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 3 Classified skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.11% from the Gallery Case (about 1 in 937). 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 (No Recent Price): The custom painted crude depictions of Ts are sharp and fully intact, with maximum color vibrancy across the weapon.
• Minimal Wear ($20.36): Minor, localized edge wear begins to appear on areas like the barrel or receiver corners, but the main Terrorist illustrations remain undisturbed.
• Field-Tested ($9.60): Noticeable chipping on sharp edges and early wear spots on the foregrip or magazine appear, with slight overall dulling of colors.
• Well-Worn ($9.16): Heavy edge wear and larger chips are present, exposing the underlying base in broader patches around key edges and potentially eating into parts of the Terrorist drawings.
• Battle-Scarred ($7.82): Extensive wear is visible, with large sections of the custom paint job missing and prominent base material showing, causing the printed artwork to appear severely fragmented.

Sticker Compatibility

For Custom Paint Job skins with character-focused artwork, cartoonish or graffiti-style stickers often complement the design, especially if their colors align with the printed characters. Collectors frequently opt for fewer or carefully selected stickers on such designs to ensure the main artwork remains visible.
