AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge

Origin Story

The AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge, released on April 1, 2025, as part of The Radiant Collection with the Spring Forward update, features a sophisticated design. It is custom painted with a wine and white-colored base, elegantly finished with gold accents. The flavor text, ""Don't look at it that way, it's an art piece, not a tool for violence,"" suggests a focus on the skin's aesthetic appeal over its in-game function. This skin presents a refined visual for players.

Drop Chance

AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Radiant Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Classified drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. It is the only Classified skin in the collection. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.
