Sawed-Off | Bamboo Shadow

Origin Story

The Sawed-Off | Bamboo Shadow features a hydrographic of brush-painted bamboo, giving the shotgun a subtle, nature-themed appearance. This Consumer Grade skin was released on May 26, 2015, as part of The Rising Sun Collection during Operation Bloodhound. It serves as an accessible entry point into the Japan-themed collection, which also includes more prominent skins like the AK-47 | Hydroponic and AUG | Akihabara Accept. While not a status symbol, its appeal lies in its distinct aesthetic and its role in completing the legacy Rising Sun Collection. The skin's flavor text, "Kotaro lost his son to this gun... and one day he'll use it to stop the man responsible," adds a layer of somber narrative to its visual design.

Drop Chance

Sawed-Off | Bamboo Shadow is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Rising Sun Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Consumer Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 4 other Consumer Grade 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.
