MAC-10 Candy Apple (Factory New) – a classic skin for one of CS2's fastest-firing SMGs, arriving on November 27, 2013 with the "Out with the old, in with the new" update. It's part of the Train Collection and appears in souvenir packages tied to that map, including the ESL One Cologne 2015, DreamHack Cluj-Napoca 2015, and MLG Columbus 2016 Train Souvenir Packages. If you need a clean, no-frills red-and-black MAC-10 that adds a sharp color accent to a loadout without overcomplicating it, the MAC-10 Candy Apple (Factory New) on LIS-SKINS is an easy pick.

Pattern Description

The MAC-10 Candy Apple uses the Solid Color style. Individual parts of the weapon are coated in flat, dense tones: the body gets a rich, saturated red, while the grip, magazine, and smaller components stay black. The result is reminiscent of a high-gloss automotive paint job – which is exactly where the Candy Apple name comes from. Minimal in execution, but that vivid red makes it immediately visible in-game.

Float Value Impact

The Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 0.30, so the MAC-10 Candy Apple is only available in Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. In Factory New condition the skin looks its sharpest: the red finish holds full density and gloss, and the black elements show virtually no wear. Souvenir copies are available at every wear tier, which is particularly relevant for collectors interested in items tied to tournament history and the Train map.

Skin Features

The skin is Industrial Grade, making it a common and widely accessible item. Its appeal isn't complex design – it's a clean, versatile color scheme. The red body pairs easily with stickers, gloves, and other inventory pieces. This MAC-10 suits players who want a bold visual accent without cluttering the weapon with patterns, characters, or aggressive graphics.

Skin Popularity

The MAC-10 Candy Apple sits at 91% popularity, making it a consistently in-demand SMG skin. Its age, recognizable color, accessibility, and the existence of souvenir variants all contribute to sustained interest. The skin has also appeared in the inventories of professional players including flusha, TACO, and f0rest. Simple as the design is, the Candy Apple remains a dependable choice for anyone who wants a crisp red accent on a buy-round weapon.

Pattern Variation

Pattern index has no effect on the MAC-10 Candy Apple's appearance – color placement is the same across all copies, so there's no point hunting for a particular pattern index. When choosing, focus on condition, float, souvenir origin, and stickers. Factory New is where the skin looks its best, as the red finish is at its most even and saturated. Pricing on the MAC-10 Candy Apple (Factory New) can shift noticeably if the copy carries tournament stickers, so on LIS-SKINS it's worth checking not just the condition but what's on a specific copy before buying.
