Sawed-Off | Limelight

Origin Story

The Sawed-Off Limelight features a custom paint job with swooping curves in lime green and white, making it instantly recognizable. Its vibrant design ensures all eyes are on the wielder, as suggested by its flavor text. This shotgun skin was introduced on June 16, 2016, as part of the Gamma Exposure Update, which also brought The Gamma Collection into the game.

Drop Chance

Sawed-Off | Limelight is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Gamma Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Gamma Case (about 1 in 313). 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 ($11.38): The custom paint job is pristine, showcasing the vibrant green and yellow pattern without any blemishes.
• Minimal Wear ($3.52): Minor wear begins to appear on the edges, but the overall pattern remains largely intact and bright.
• Field-Tested ($1.65): Noticeable scuffs and abrasions are present on the weapon's body, particularly on the stock and barrel, dulling some of the color.
• Well-Worn ($1.70): Significant paint loss and scratching are visible across the entire surface, making the pattern appear faded and worn.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.61): The custom paint job is heavily damaged, with large areas of the original pattern obscured by extensive wear and discoloration.

Model
