The skin has an extremely low drop rate of 0.64%, making it one of the rarest items in the collection. Market prices can exceed $400, with certain patterns commanding even higher values. Unlike other skins, it's not available in StatTrak or Souvenir variants.

Fade patterns are ranked based on coverage percentage, with full fades being the most valuable. The pattern determines how much of the gradient covers the weapon, with top patterns showing complete coverage and lower-tier patterns having visible unpainted sections.
