MAC-10 | Carnivore

Origin Story

The MAC-10 | Carnivore, released on June 16, 2016, as part of The Gamma Collection with the Gamma Exposure update, features a red and purple hydrographic applied over a metallic base coat. Its design presents a colorful, organic pattern that covers most of the weapon's body. While not a high-tier item, it is a budget-friendly MAC-10 option often chosen for its distinctive red and purple appearance. The in-game flavor text "Prepare before serving" adds a playful touch to this aggressive-looking skin.

Drop Chance

MAC-10 | Carnivore is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Gamma Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Gamma Case (about 1 in 88). 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 ($7.71): The red and purple hydrographic pattern appears with the highest color vibrancy, showing minimal fading and a consistent metallic sheen.
• Minimal Wear ($0.87): The red and purple pattern remains very vivid, with only subtle matting or softening of the sheen on exposed edges.
• Field-Tested ($0.76): Noticeable edge wear begins to appear on the front of the gun and high-contact surfaces, with the red and purple colors appearing slightly less vibrant.
• Well-Worn ($0.60): The hydrographic looks more washed-out, with significant dulling and more of the metallic base coat showing through on edges and some flat surfaces.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.43): The red and purple hydrographic layer is heavily faded and darkened, with a large amount of the metallic base visible, especially on the front and edges, resulting in a muted, grimy look.

Model

Carnivore uses the legacy MAC-10 model, introduced with Gamma Exposure on June 16, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
