MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket

Origin Story

The MAC-10 Poplar Thicket, released on April 1, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update, belongs to The Boreal Collection. It features a green forest pattern, as described by its in-game text, "A green forest pattern has been applied." The flavor text, "In the thick of it," further alludes to its nature-inspired design. This skin utilizes a Spray-Paint finish style.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Boreal Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 4 other Mil-Spec 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 0.68. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1.18): The green forest pattern is fully intact and vibrant across the MAC-10.
• Minimal Wear ($0.41): Minor abrasions may appear on the edges of the weapon, but the forest pattern remains clear.
• Field-Tested ($0.15): Noticeable wear and scuffs begin to appear on various parts of the weapon, slightly obscuring the green pattern.
• Well-Worn ($0.13): The spray-painted finish shows significant wear, with the underlying material becoming more visible through the faded green pattern.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.12): Extensive wear covers the weapon, heavily degrading the green forest pattern and leaving large areas scuffed and discolored.
