Appearance history
The AK-47 | Cartel was ushered into existence on the 8th of January, 2015, with the advent of The Chroma Collection, coinciding with the 'Full Spectrum' update's debut. The skin's genesis is attributed to the collaborative efforts of artisans coyote37, Anders, and Hanzo.
Pattern description
Adorning the AK-47 | Cartel, the receiver and the magazine eschew paint, boasting instead a meticulously etched motif of florals, craniums, and serpents entwined. This embellishment draws inspiration from the venerated Mexican Dia de los Muertos. The metallic constituents of the armament are enveloped in a patina sheath, while the buttstock and handguard are hewn from timber.
Effect of float
The Float Value spectrum for this skin stretches from a pristine 0.00 to a well-worn 0.75, ensuring its availability across all states of preservation. Even when subjected to the upper echelons of Float Values, the weapon's facade remains unmarred by the typical vestiges of deterioration such as scratches and scuffs. As the wear approaches its zenith, the patina coating adopts a more somber hue.
