AK-47 | Crane Flight

Origin Story

The AK-47 | Crane Flight, released on March 11, 2026, as part of The Dead Hand Collection, features a hand-painted design of a crane with gold accents over a black and white base. Its Gunsmith finish allows for detailed artwork that combines painted elements with material masks. The skin's flavor text, "Preceding the blood moon," adds a thematic layer to its visual identity. This Classified rarity skin has a full float range, allowing for diverse appearances across all wear tiers.

Drop Chance

AK-47 | Crane Flight is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal: approximately 1.07% per opening (roughly 1 in 94). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 3 Classified skins in the case. 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($107.88): The black and white base, gold accents, and crane artwork are fully intact and crisp, showing maximum contrast.
• Minimal Wear ($39.00): Very light wear may appear on extreme edges like the front sight, but the main crane and gold accents remain nearly identical to Factory New.
• Field-Tested ($21.10): More noticeable edge chipping and faint surface wear begin to appear on the handguard and receiver edges, with the black and white base potentially showing slight dulling.
• Well-Worn ($14.73): Broader wear patches develop on the body, and the base colors dull further, with larger areas of underlying material showing through.
• Battle-Scarred ($13.68): Heavy wear exposes substantial base material on edges and large contact areas, causing the surface to appear significantly faded, though the crane motif typically remains visible.
