Negev | Sour Grapes

Origin Story

The Negev | Sour Grapes, released on April 1, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update and The Ascent Collection, features a vibrant purple color scheme. The flavor text, "Purple people deleter," adds a playful and memorable touch to the weapon skin.

Drop Chance

Negev | Sour Grapes is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Ascent Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Industrial Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 8 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.
