FAMAS | Byproduct

Origin Story

The FAMAS | Byproduct, released on January 22, 2026, as part of The Harlequin Collection, features a gold-colored burst pattern applied with a spray-paint finish. Its in-game description succinctly notes the "gold-colored burst pattern" that defines its appearance. The skin's aesthetic is further complemented by its flavor text, ""Cool guys don't look at explosions"" offering a touch of character. This Consumer Grade skin provides a distinct visual for players seeking a gold-themed FAMAS.

Drop Chance

FAMAS | Byproduct is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Harlequin Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Consumer Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 6 other Consumer 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.
