Five-SeveN | Nightshade

Origin Story

The Five-SeveN | Nightshade, released on December 18, 2013, as part of the Winter Offensive update and the eSports 2013 Winter Collection, features a hydrographic floral pattern. This design, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, covers the pistol in shades of blue. It emerged during the early eSports era as a common Mil-Spec option, offering a decorative sidearm choice. The skin is generally considered an older, budget-friendly blue pistol skin rather than a premium collector's item.

Drop Chance

Five-SeveN | Nightshade is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the eSports 2013 Winter Case: approximately 13.32% per opening (roughly 1 in 8). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 6 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.33% from the eSports 2013 Winter Case (about 1 in 75). 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 0.5. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Field-Tested ($3.40): Visible scratches and dulling occur on the slide edges and muzzle, though the floral pattern is still clearly recognizable.
• Well-Worn ($3.94): Significant fading and chipping are present along the front and top of the slide, exposing more of the darker underlying surface.
• Battle-Scarred ($4.02): The hydrographic appears heavily worn with extensive exposed base and dulled colors, leaving the floral motif fragmented.
