AK-47 | Aphrodite (Factory New)

The Factory New (FN) AK-47 | Aphrodite is a Covert rifle for the Terrorist side and a limited-edition item. Its wear band runs from 0.00 to 0.07, which is 7% of the skin's scale, itself running from 0.00 to 1.00.

What the AK-47 | Aphrodite looks like in Factory New

The skin holds together on the contrast between pale wood and dark metal. The handguard and stock are nearly white and creamy, with a pink pearl shimmer and carved relief. The receiver and top cover are coated in pale olive-gold metal, and the barrel is dark with a greenish cast.

The magazine is cream, ribbed, with a copper base; the grip is red-brown with diamond checkering. In Factory New the pearl lies whole, with no scuffs on edges or corners. The float is recorded when the rifle drops, so a rifle this clean stays clean.

Where the AK-47 | Aphrodite came from

The skin is Valve's own design, and the Steam Workshop has no submission for it. It came out on January 21, 2026: in that update Valve added a limited-edition item, and in the note "The Fourth Season" called it a new entry in the Armory. The skin's number in Valve's catalog is 1397, and its tagline is "From a different plane".

What to check before buying: the pattern varies

Valve says it outright in the note: the pearl accents and amber patina on this skin change with both wear and pattern. So two listings with the same float can look different.

When choosing an AK-47 | Aphrodite, look at the following:

• pattern: how the pearl landed on the wood and the patina on the metal;


• float: in Factory New it is capped at 0.07;


• stickers and name tag already on the copy.

What the AK-47 | Aphrodite costs in Factory New

• Minimal Wear is cheaper by about ten times;


• Field-Tested is cheaper by about seventeen times;

Among the twenty-four Covert AK-47s the skin sits in the lower half of the row in this wear: ten cost less, thirteen more. Just above it is AK-47 | Asiimov; a little below are AK-47 | The Oligarch, AK-47 | The Empress and AK-47 | Neon Revolution. AK-47 | Legion of Anubis is the cheapest of all. The top of the row is held by AK-47 | Fire Serpent, AK-47 | Gold Arabesque and AK-47 | Wild Lotus.

Getting the AK-47 | Aphrodite

No case drops the AK-47 | Aphrodite. It appeared in the Armory on January 21, 2026 as a limited-edition item and stands outside the usual collections. A ready copy is chosen from other players' listings.

StatTrak and Souvenir

No StatTrak version of the AK-47 | Aphrodite has been released. There were no souvenir packages for this skin either: those were made only for tournament map collections. A souvenir copy can be assembled by hand, however. The Souvenir-O-Matic applies golden tournament stickers and a player autograph to a regular skin from your inventory.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Aphrodite

Pearlescent wood takes white and silver stickers best, since they do not compete with the shimmer. Busy stickers fight the pattern. The copper base of the magazine and the brass details sit well with gold and bronze, and on clean paint any sticker shows without distortion.

Who this wear suits

Factory New is the wear to buy the AK-47 | Aphrodite in for these reasons:

• you want an AK-47 for CS2 where the pearl lies without scuffs;


• you want to see the whole pattern, since every copy has its own;


• you need a clean light base for stickers in a CS2 craft.

If some wear is acceptable, Minimal Wear is cheaper by about ten times, and Field-Tested by seventeen.
