MAC-10 | Sakkaku
This MAC-10 skin was released on February 10, 2023, in the Revolution Collection. Its artists are:
Anbu
4Gauder
Most of the SMG is taken up by the face of a red-eyed girl drawn in anime style. The grip carries diagonal patterns in beige, red and black, and the magazine is left unpainted. The word "SAKKAKU" is Japanese for "illusion".
The skin exists in only three wears (float 0.21 to 0.79):
Field-Tested.
Well-Worn.
Battle-Scarred.
It is the cheapest pick on this list: a Battle-Scarred MAC-10 | Sakkaku costs about 30 cents, and Field-Tested is still under a dollar.
AUG | Akihabara Accept
This Covert skin belongs to the Rising Sun Collection. Despite its age, it remains one of the most detailed and unusual skins in this style. Akihabara is a Tokyo district known as the center of anime and electronics.
The background is dominated by white and blue with Japanese lettering, and the foreground shows an anime-style girl in military uniform.
The skin has no float restrictions and comes in all five wears, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred. Its collection does not drop from cases, which keeps the AUG | Akihabara Accept expensive: about $250 in Battle-Scarred, about $1,100 in Minimal Wear and about $3,500 in Factory New.
M4A4 | Neo-Noir
This skin drops from the Clutch Case. Its artists are:
donschi
Blazer
It is one of the most recognizable M4A4 skins, liked for its striking print and a color scheme that pleases the eye without pulling too much attention. Most of the rifle shows a girl with a sword on her back, exhaling clouds of smoke. For more options on this rifle, see the best M4A4 skins.
The skin comes in all wears. An M4A4 | Neo-Noir costs from $25 in Battle-Scarred, about $45 in Minimal Wear and about $95 in Factory New; in the worn exteriors the StatTrak version costs almost the same as the regular one.
Galil AR | Kami
This skin arrived on May 1, 2014, with the Huntsman Weapon Case. Its artist is:
Thurnip
The whole rifle, except for the grip and receiver, is covered in a black and white design. The anime link becomes clear on a closer look: the finish is styled after manga pages. The skin is not especially popular, but that only makes it more distinctive.
Its float range is 0.00 to 0.60, so it is available in every wear; our guide to skin wear and float explains how the two are linked. A Galil AR | Kami costs about a dollar and a half in the worn exteriors and about $5 in Factory New.
