P2000 | Fire Elemental

Origin Story

The P2000 Fire Elemental features a custom paint job depicting a creature made of fire, rendered in a graphic style with vibrant orange and yellow flames against a deep blue and teal background. Released on November 11, 2014, as part of The Vanguard Collection during Operation Vanguard, it quickly became recognized as a premium and iconic P2000 skin. Its distinctive visual sets it apart, making it a desirable collectible for its aesthetic and rarity. The in-game flavor text, "Sometimes playing with fire is a good thing," further emphasizes its fiery theme.

Drop Chance

P2000 | Fire Elemental is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. From the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case: approximately 0.32% per opening (roughly 1 in 312). The 0.64% Covert tier rate is split across 2 Covert skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.03% from the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case (about 1 in 3,125). 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 0.6. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($152.33): The orange and yellow flames are maximally vibrant over the deep blue/teal body, with crisp details and no visible scratches on the slide.
• Minimal Wear ($113.82): Colors remain strong and the fire creature artwork is intact, with only small wear specks appearing along hard edges like the slide lip and front.
• Field-Tested ($103.50): Noticeable edge wear and scattered scratches appear, particularly at the front of the slide and near the muzzle, dulling some of the finer flame details.
• Well-Worn ($120.72): Significant wear is present, with larger portions of the flame artwork showing fading or missing edges, especially on frequently handled surfaces and the grip.
• Battle-Scarred ($116.99): Heavy wear covers large parts of the painted surface, with extensive chipping and darkening that makes the flames appear muted and fragmented, though the main motif remains distinguishable.

Model

Fire Elemental uses the legacy P2000 model, introduced with Operation Vanguard on November 11, 2014. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job: It has been custom painted with the image of a creature made of fire in a graphic style. The design features bright orange and yellow flames over a deep blue and teal body, with darker outlines and black details. In first person, the fiery creature's head and upper flames on the slide are highly visible. Community and catalog sites often group it visually with other high-contrast, comic-style custom paint jobs due to the illustrated character art and bold outlines.

Sticker Compatibility

The P2000 | Fire Elemental's vibrant orange and yellow flames against a deep blue/teal base make it suitable for stickers in complementary colors. Orange, red, or yellow holographic stickers can echo the fiery motif, while blue or teal stickers can blend with the background. White or light-colored stickers also offer a strong contrast against the darker blue sections.
