Five-SeveN | Monkey Business (Battle-Scarred)

Classified rank, a drop from the Chroma 2 Case. On the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business the scale runs from 0.10 to 0.90, and Battle-Scarred (BS) takes the stretch from 0.45 to 0.90.

What the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business looks like in Battle-Scarred

The pistol is a banana. Yellow paint covers the slide, orange streaks gather at its edges, and one wide curved band follows its length like a peel. Dark gray goes to the frame and grip, the trigger is light blue, and a round blue emblem sits on the grip. Valve's description jokes that sometimes you can play with your food.

The wear is written in when the skin drops. Here the yellow has worn off the slide edges and the gray metal underneath comes through, while the orange streaks blur into the scuffing. What survives is the bright field in the middle of the slide.

Where the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business came from

The finish entered the game in April 2015 with the Chroma 2 Case and its collection. Neither an author nor a Workshop submission is recorded for it in our data, so its origin goes no further than the case.

What to check before buying

What decides between copies:

• float: this wear spans 0.45 to 0.90;


• the state of the yellow field in the middle of the slide, which tells more than the number;


• whatever the last owner left behind, from stickers to a renamed tag.

One pattern covers the entire run. With a band this wide, search by the float value rather than the wear name.

What the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business costs in Battle-Scarred

Four wears exist for the finish and Factory New is not among them. Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom: Well-Worn is a few percent above it, Field-Tested a little above that, and Minimal Wear more than double.

Three Classified Five-SeveN finishes are priced in this wear, and the Monkey Business is the cheapest of them. The Fairy Tale asks one and a half times as much, and the Fowl Play more again.

Getting the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business

The Chroma 2 Case is the one source of a fresh copy.

A contract is the other road. Ten Restricted skins go in from wherever you like, and the output belongs to the collection of one of them. Pull the whole ten from The Chroma 2 Collection and the result is pinned there, which puts this skin at one in three.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this finish exists. Souvenir packages never carried it.

Stickers and craft on the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business

A large, even yellow field makes the slide easy ground, and dark or blue stickers hold their shape on it. Pale ones disappear into the paint. The part of the slide closer to the muzzle is the tidiest spot, since the orange streaks thin out there.

Who this wear suits

This wear fits the Five-SeveN | Monkey Business when:

• a bright yellow CS2 pistol is wanted at the lowest price of its wears;


• worn paint is no obstacle, and on the edges it passes for a scuffed peel;


• the purchase is ground for stickers rather than flawless paint.
