In case of these weapons, the more fade is showing (more colors), the more valuable the skin could be. There are lot of different fade patterns on the steam market: Fade, Amber Fade, Acid Fade and Marble Fade I will show you some examples of their rarity. This guide is only trying to point out specific patterns, that can be worth a lot of money. So it´s not an objective factor, because some people love silverish pattern, or they are willing to pay more for some specific pattern (blue barrel, gold magazine, …), so it´s nothing you can anticipate. These were the patterns ordered by their desirability. Be careful not to mistake a silverish pattern for a golden pattern! If you´re buying FiveSeven or knife, the cheapest skins are nearly always silverish. It’s the most common and the ugliest pattern you can find. The least desired pattern of all is the silver pattern, sometimes mixed with gold and smaller blue spots. I personally love the rainbow colors with a lot of blue, purple and red the most (my weapons are on the picture) SILVER The rainbow pattern is worth more, when there are a lot of big purple, red and blue spots on gold-silverish background. Third rarest pattern is rainbow – sometimes called galaxy pattern, but there are specialities in the rainbow patterns too. And be careful – golden knife pattern are not so desired as blue or galaxy patterns, the golden color is desired most on AK-47. Sometimes the gold color of Case Hardened skins can be mistaken for silver, that belongs to the cheaepest colors. I personally don´t find this AK attractive, but there is a tradition in finishing weapons gold and people just love it.

This is the only full golden AK I´ve found and there are people willing to pay hundreds of keys for it. Second rarest pattern you can find on your AK-47 Case Hardened is a gold pattern. These blue Case Hardened skins are often called Blue Gems. There are players willing to pay a lot of money for pattern like this. The most wanted and rarest pattern you can ever wish on both AK-47 and FiveSeven (and knives) is the blue pattern. You can find these patterns on AK-47, FiveSeven and a lot of knives. The price is changing more by the rare weapons like AK-47 and knives, by other weapons like Sawed-off shotgun or Galil AR is the pattern changing the price just minimally. Let´s take a look on some examples of some of patterns I mentioned. I would like to show you some examples of the rarest patterns, of the patterns I personally find beautiful and patterns, that are somehow special or funny. By selling/buying these skins you have to include their pattern into the value of the whole weapon.


Second category influenced by patterns are the skins with irregular texture like Slaughter, Sandstorm or Hypnotic. To the most diverse skins belong rainbow skins like Case Hardened, Fade, or Doppler. Some skins tend to be more diverse than others. So this is the reason why two skins with same quality and exterior can look different from each other. What the game does is move the skin up/down/left/righ in any direction, thus making it look different. Pattern is a texture, from which are some of the skins randomly generated. I would like to write about some basic knowledge about patterns, rather show some examples on weapons i found on steam market and show you some funny patterns i found on the internet 🙂 What is a pattern? There has been written a lot about skin patterns, expecially about the knife skin patterns. This blog entry is devoted to skin patterns. I´m now writing my second guide into CS:GO skins.

Not too many people know, that there is a way you can buy a good looking weapon skin a lot cheaper than you think, and that there are some fundamental things you have to know before you buy any weapon skin on the steam market. It has been a long time since Valve started making skins for CS:GO and still there are some not publicly known facts about skins.
