Sawed-Off | Copper

Origin Story

The Sawed-Off | Copper, released on August 14, 2013, with The Arms Deal update, features a simple copper-plated finish that gives the shotgun a distinct metallic appearance. This skin is part of The Dust Collection, one of the original map-based collections in CS2. It is generally regarded as an old-school budget skin, often sought after by players looking to complete The Dust Collection or assemble thematic, low-cost loadouts. The design focuses on a basic patina copper plate, with the in-game description simply stating, "It has been copper plated."

Drop Chance

Sawed-Off | Copper 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 Dust 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 2 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($254.53): The copper plating appears brightest and most metallic, with a clean sheen and minimal dark patina, giving it a "freshly plated" look.
• Minimal Wear ($148.43): The copper retains most of its metallic shine, but begins to show slight darkening along edges and high-touch areas, shifting toward a more "used" copper tone.
• Field-Tested ($124.09): The copper appears noticeably darker and more muted, with widespread patina discoloration and less uniform color across the body, losing its clean metal feel.
• Well-Worn ($130.55): The overall finish is quite dark and tarnished, with copper tones pushed toward brown and black in many areas, creating a "dirty" look on the receiver and barrel.
• Battle-Scarred ($114.51): The finish shows the heaviest patina, with extensive darkening and discoloration across the surface, giving the copper a heavily oxidized and weathered appearance.

Model
