M4A1-S | Basilisk

Origin Story

Operation Vanguard went tactical with mythic attitude. Basilisk lasers an etched serpent across matte plates for a clean, menacing silhouette that reads instantly in CS2 highlights.

Drop Chance

Restricted tier split across four items:

Any Basilisk – ≈ 4.00% (≈ 1 in 25)
StatTrak – ≈ 0.40% (≈ 1 in 250)
Non-StatTrak – ≈ 3.60% (≈ 1 in 28)

Skin Condition

Factory New (0.00–0.07) – sharp etching, rich dark finish, tidy edges.

• Minimal Wear (0.07–0.15) – faint contact rub; serpent detail stays crisp.
• Field-Tested (0.15–0.38) – visible scuffs on receiver and handguard; motif still reads in motion.
• Well-Worn (0.38–0.45) – dulled highlights and broader rub.
• Battle-Scarred (0.45–0.68) – heavy wear for a relic-grade look some buyers chase.

Model

CS:GO legacy asset – CS2’s contrast makes micro-wear show sooner. Lower floats look meaningfully cleaner on broadcast.

How to Obtain

Open an Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, or set a Market buy and let a seller meet it. Third-party trades cover you when case supply dips.

Price Range

Live listings trend $9.33–$56.18. Low-float FN/MW with crisp serpent lines and a clean upper receiver commands the premium. Heavier wear mutes the patina and compresses toward the floor.

Visual Theme

Patina over dark plates with a laser-etched basilisk. Source 2 lighting throws hard edge highlights so the serpent and crest pop mid-peek. Uninterrupted etch on the upper receiver and a clean handguard list faster and usually at stronger bids.
