PP-Bizon | Photic Zone

Origin Story

The PP-Bizon | Photic Zone features a custom camouflage pattern accented with fluorescent paint, evoking a sense of submerged depths. This distinctive look is part of The Wildfire Collection, which was released with Operation Wildfire on February 18, 2016. Its thematic camo style makes it a notable option for players seeking a unique SMG skin from this collection.

Drop Chance

PP-Bizon | Photic Zone is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Operation Wildfire Case: approximately 13.32% per opening (roughly 1 in 8). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 6 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.33% from the Operation Wildfire Case (about 1 in 75). 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($7.04): The dark teal/blue-green camouflage and fluorescent accents appear crisp and fully opaque, with minimal to no visible edge wear.
• Minimal Wear ($2.89): The camo coverage and fluorescent accents remain bright, with only minor scuffing appearing along the sharpest edges of the barrel shroud and magazine drum.
• Field-Tested ($1.28): Moderate wear is visible, with edge chipping and some muted sections in the camo and fluorescent accents, particularly near the front and along the magazine drum and receiver edges.
• Well-Worn ($0.75): Heavier chipping and dulling are present, with a greater portion of the underlayer becoming visible and fluorescent accents appearing less continuous.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.58): Substantial parts of the camouflage and neon accents are scraped away on high-traffic surfaces, leaving more exposed darker base material and a clearly distressed appearance.

Model
