MAC-10 | Ultraviolet

Origin Story

The MAC-10 Ultraviolet, released on July 10, 2014, as part of The eSports 2014 Summer Collection, features a distinctive black and purple color scheme. Its design applies solid colors to individual parts, creating a clean and utilitarian appearance. This skin is recognized as a classic, simple option for players seeking a black and purple aesthetic for their loadouts. While not a prestige item, it serves as a functional and thematic choice within the broader Ultraviolet family of skins.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Ultraviolet is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the eSports 2014 Summer 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 2014 Summer 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.

• Field-Tested ($4.18): Visible edge wear begins to appear on the front body, receiver edges, and magazine, with small patches of base metal breaking the solid black and purple look.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Larger patches of exposed metal are present on high-contact edges and corners, making the solid black appear broken up and patchy, while purple areas look more washed out.
• Battle-Scarred ($3.92): Extensive chipping and exposed metal cover most edges and some flat surfaces, especially on the front body, and the purple is significantly faded, sometimes appearing close to dark grey.
