StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate (Factory New)

The StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate carries a kill counter, and in Factory New (FN) that puts the price at roughly three times the plain version. This wear covers floats from 0.00 to 0.07. It is a Restricted rifle from the Snakebite Case.

What the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate looks like in Factory New

The finish matches the plain version: Valve describes it as black on black on slate-black. There are no colored details, only shades of black. The wear of a copy is determined at the moment it drops and stays the same; in this wear it is minimal.

Where the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate came from

The Snakebite Case and its collection came out on May 4, 2021. Valve described the case as a set of 17 community finishes and added Broken Fang gloves to it. In Valve's catalog the finish carries the number 1035.

What to check before buying

Before buying the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate, look at a few points:

• the reading on the counter: the buyer gets the copy with the number shown in the listing;


• float: the band from 0.00 to 0.07 is short, and listings hardly differ;


• the name tag and stickers this StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate already carries.

The design of the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate is the same on all copies, so there is no point hunting for a special one.

What the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate costs in Factory New

The kill counter makes the price in this wear about 3.2 times higher than the plain version. The neighboring wears with a counter fall like this:

• Minimal Wear costs 2.3 times less;


• Field-Tested costs 3.7 times less;


• Well-Worn costs 4.5 times less;


• Battle-Scarred costs 4.3 times less.

The order breaks at the bottom: Well-Worn comes out cheaper than Battle-Scarred. Among Restricted AK-47 skins with a counter, this one sits between StatTrak™ AK-47 | Rat Rod and StatTrak™ AK-47 | Blue Laminate, no more than seven percent from either. StatTrak™ AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 costs about twice as much.

Getting the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate

The same Snakebite Case that yields the plain skin yields the version with a counter.

A contract for it is built only from StatTrak items: the game does not allow ordinary skins and counter skins to be mixed. It takes ten skins of the rank below from this collection. The collection has five Restricted skins, so the chance is one in five.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The plain AK-47 | Slate without a counter is a separate product with its own page and price, and in Factory New it is about three times cheaper. There is no Souvenir version with a counter: only an ordinary copy can be turned into a souvenir.

Stickers and craft on the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate

A black finish takes any color, but light and bright stickers read best. With a counter, settle the build in advance: the buyer gets the reading as it stands.

Who this wear suits

Buying the StatTrak™ AK-47 | Slate here, in Factory New, makes sense given these needs:

• you want a kill counter on a black AK-47 for CS2;


• a clean body matters: Minimal Wear with a counter costs 2.3 times less;


• you need a black base for light stickers.

Without a counter, the same skin in this wear costs roughly three times less.
