The Rarest AK-47 Case Hardened Pattern
Among all the Case Hardened AKs, The Scar is the most rare and most expensive. This is an AK-47 Case Hardened with pattern #661. It got its name in honour of a small yellow stripe on the side. Look, it’s placed just above the gun’s clip. This is an extremely rare CS:GO skin. Overall, there are only 121 such skins that the CS:GO community knows of, and only nine of them are Factory New.
Tier-1 AK-47 Case Hardened Patterns
All other patterns, except for #661, are divided into three tiers by the amount of blue colour on the weapon finish. But at the same time, this blue is taken into account only on the central part of the gun’s case and the mag. Blue spots on the barrel’s end and the buttstock’s back do not affect the tier.
List of tier-1 AK-47 Case Hardened patterns:
- 151, 168, 179, 321, 387, 555, 592, 670, 760, 809, 955.
Tier-2 AK-47 Case Hardened Patterns
The middle tier of AK-47 Case Hardened patterns includes the skins with much more gold, and the spots of blue and purple colours themselves are minor or diluted with slight inclusions of gold. These skins are a lot cheaper than Tier 1 or The Scar skins.
