Origin Story
The MAC-10 | Fade was released on May 26, 2015, as part of The Chop Shop Collection during Operation Bloodhound. It features the classic Fade gradient, airbrushed with transparent paints that transition through yellow, orange, pink, and purple tones over a chrome base coat. This design gives the MAC-10 a bright, flashy, and luxurious appearance, distinguishing it from more rugged or themed MAC-10 skins. The skin is generally considered a high-end, collector-focused item due to its premium finish and origin from a discontinued Operation collection. Its visual identity aligns with other Fade weapons, known for their smooth, glossy gradients rather than pattern-based variations.
Drop Chance
MAC-10 | Fade is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Chop Shop Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 4 other Mil-Spec skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New ($94.80): The multicolor Fade gradient is vibrant and glossy with strong chrome reflectivity and minimal visible scratches; edges appear clean and sharp. Collectors often favor very low floats in this tier for maximum shine and minimal wear. Minimal Wear ($126.09): The Fade gradient remains fully intact and colorful, but very light edge wear or faint dulling may appear on high-contact surfaces like the front and receiver edges when closely inspected. This is often considered a value pick due to minimal visual degradation.
Model
Fade uses the legacy MAC-10 model, introduced with Operation Bloodhound on May 26, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
How to Obtain
The MAC-10 | Fade originates from The Chop Shop Collection, which was introduced during Operation Bloodhound.

Players can also acquire this skin through trade-up contracts, using ten lower-rarity skins from The Chop Shop Collection. Additionally, the skin is available for purchase on the Steam Community Market, various third-party marketplaces, and specialized case-opening or skin-trading sites.

Sticker Compatibility
The MAC-10 | Fade's multicolor gradient and chrome base pair well with bright holo or prismatic stickers, pink/purple and warm-tone stickers, or minimal black/white stickers for contrast. The most visible sticker slots are typically on the side of the receiver and near the magazine. Given its status as a collector-focused item, it is often treated as a desirable craft base.
