UMP-45 | Primal Saber

Origin Story

The UMP-45 Primal Saber was released on April 28, 2016, as part of The Chroma 3 Collection, coinciding with the Trichromacy update. This SMG features a decal of a sabertooth tiger skull, reflecting its in-game description. The design is further underscored by its flavor text, "Every predator eventually meets their end."

Drop Chance

UMP-45 | Primal Saber is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the Chroma 3 Case: approximately 1.07% per opening (roughly 1 in 94). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 3 Classified skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.11% from the Chroma 3 Case (about 1 in 937). 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 0.77. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($34.50): The sabertooth tiger skull decal and surrounding pattern are fully intact and vibrant on the weapon body.
• Minimal Wear ($19.60): Minor abrasions begin to appear on the edges of the UMP-45, but the main decal remains clear.
• Field-Tested ($15.75): Noticeable wear and scuffs develop across the weapon's surface, particularly on exposed areas, though the decal is still largely visible.
• Well-Worn ($14.95): Significant paint loss and scratching are present, degrading the overall appearance and making parts of the decal less distinct.
• Battle-Scarred ($14.55): Extensive wear and tear cover the weapon, with much of the original finish and decal heavily damaged or faded.

Model

Primal Saber uses the legacy UMP-45 model, introduced with Trichromacy on April 28, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
