Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale (Field-Tested)

The Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale in Field-Tested (FT) is a princess, unicorns and flowers on a white frame. In this wear the float runs 0.15 to 0.38. The rank is Classified, the collection is the Operation Broken Fang Collection, and the pistol drops from the Operation Broken Fang Case.

What the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale looks like in Field-Tested

The finish paints a fairy tale. The frame and trigger guard are white, while the muzzle, the slide edges, the trigger and the bottom of the grip are raspberry. On the slide sit a red castle with blue roofs, clouds, yellow and light blue flowers, a pink unicorn and a princess with auburn hair and a crown.

A second unicorn, with a pink mane, stands on the grip. Valve's caption is a line spoken by the heroine: today is going to be a good day, she can feel it.

The artwork is the same across the whole run and fills the slide and grip densely. In Field-Tested, scuffs lie over it along the edges, yet every figure stays in place.

Where the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale came from

The Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale appeared on December 3, 2020, when the Operation Broken Fang Collection was added to the game.

What to check before buying

Before buying the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale, check these:

• the float, which is what tells listings apart within one wear;


• the slide edges and the white frame, where scuffs show best;


• the name tag and stickers, which stay with the listing on a Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale.

There is no lucky pattern to hunt for on the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale: it is always the same. In this wear the stretch from 0.15 to 0.38 is long, so comparing a few listings is worthwhile. It takes up 26% of the finish's scale, which runs from 0.02 to 0.90.

What the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale costs in Field-Tested

The other wears, measured against this one:

• Factory New asks more than eleven times the price;


• Minimal Wear asks about 2.2 times the price;


• Well-Worn is about 12% cheaper;


• Battle-Scarred is about 19% cheaper.

The elevenfold markup fits the width of the band. The scale starts at 0.02, so Factory New runs only from 0.02 to 0.07, which is 6% of the scale.

Among Classified Five-SeveNs in this wear, the finish is third of four by price. Five-SeveN | Monkey Business and Five-SeveN | Fowl Play are cheaper, with Fowl Play lower by only a few percent. Five-SeveN | Fall Hazard costs almost ten times as much.

Getting the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale

The pistol drops from the Operation Broken Fang Case; no other case carries this finish.

A trade-up into the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale takes ten skins one rank lower from this set. It holds three Classified skins, so the odds are one in three. The skin itself goes in as an input toward Covert: Glock-18 | Neo-Noir and M4A1-S | Printstream.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale does come in a StatTrak version. Souvenir copies of the finish turn up as well, but no packages were ever released for it, because those were made only for the tournament map collections. Such copies are built through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from your inventory.

Stickers and craft on the Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale

The slide and grip are taken up by artwork, and a sticker laid over the figures fights with it. The white frame is freer: both dark and colored stickers read on it. In a CS2 craft, the raspberry slide edges and the muzzle are better left uncovered.

Who this wear suits

The Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale is worth buying in this wear if:

• you want a bright Classified Five-SeveN for CS2 without paying eleven times more for Factory New;


• the artwork matters more than clean paint, and Minimal Wear would cost 2.2 times as much;


• you would like to pick a listing by float within a long stretch.

Below Field-Tested the savings are small: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred cost 12% and 19% less.
