Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) enthusiasts are abuzz with the discovery of a rare gem in the virtual gaming world. A unique StatTrak edition AK-47 Case Hardened gun skin with a rare ‘661 pattern’ has surfaced on Buff.163.com, a China-based P2P trading platform for CS2 items.
The valuation of this blue gem has caused quite a stir, with estimates ranging from $800,000 to a staggering $1 million. The revelation comes from YouTuber and CS2 trader ohNoPixel, who has shed light on the exceptional rarity of this pattern, which has not been seen for a decade.
According to CSGOBlueGem.com, obtaining this AK-47 skin with a 661 pattern through a trade-up contract or case unboxing is considered a ‘statistical anomaly.’ This extraordinary rarity has propelled the value of the skin to approximately 1000 times more than its normal price on the Steam market, making it a virtual gun skin worth a million dollars in Valve’s Counter-Strike 2.
In CS2, gamers have the opportunity to purchase or unbox gun skins from the cases they receive as weekly drops. The AK-47 Case Hardened is known for its various unique patterns, each with different valuations. However, the emergence of the 661 pattern has set a new benchmark for rarity and value in the CS2 skin market.
This revelation has reignited discussions about the potential ceiling for the value of CS2 skins. In the past, a jaw-dropping $1.2 million offer for a Karambit knife skin was rejected, indicating that the limits of expensive CS2 skins continue to be pushed.
The discovery of the million-dollar CS2 661 pattern AK-47 Case Hardened skin has captivated the gaming community, sparking awe and excitement as enthusiasts marvel at the unprecedented rarity and value of this virtual item.
