AK-47 | Fire Serpent (Factory New)

The AK-47 | Fire Serpent (Factory New) is a Covert rifle skin decorated with a fire-serpent motif — a coiled serpent worked over a green body with fiery orange-red serpentwork. Factory New is the top grade this grail-tier AK comes in, the sharpest the serpent artwork ever looks, and the most prized condition among collectors.

Design

Fire Serpent wraps the AK-47 in a fire-serpent motif — a coiled serpent set over a deep forest-green base, rendered in fiery orange-red down the receiver and stock. It's a Valve in-house design, not a Workshop submission, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "If you want to survive in the streets, learn to spit fire."

AK-47 | Fire Serpent (Factory New) Float and Wear

The Fire Serpent runs from a float floor of 0.06, so Factory New sits right at the tidy end of the scale. On a Factory New copy the forest-green base and serpent artwork render sharp and vivid, with no scratching to interrupt the design. This is the top grade for one of the game's true collector grails, and early-Covert copies this clean are genuinely scarce, so a Factory New commands a heavy premium over every worn condition.

AK-47 | Fire Serpent Rarity

Rarity: Covert — the red tier, the top grade of standard weapon skins, sitting above Classified. Covert finishes are the rarest thing you can pull from a case, and that scarcity is a big part of why the Fire Serpent sits where it does in price.

AK-47 | Fire Serpent Case and Collection

The AK-47 | Fire Serpent is part of The Bravo Collection and drops from the Operation Bravo Case, released with Operation Bravo in September 2013 — one of the oldest cases in CS2. The Covert tier as a whole drops about 0.64% of the time from the case, and with the Operation Bravo Case long out of the active drop pool, supply is fixed and slowly shrinking — nearly every copy changes hands on the market rather than getting unboxed.

AK-47 | Fire Serpent Patterns

The AK-47 | Fire Serpent has no random pattern variation — the serpent artwork sits the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or blue gem to hunt. Value comes down to wear plus the skin's rarity and prestige, not a lucky pattern roll.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ AK-47 | Fire Serpent exists — it drops from the Operation Bravo Case and adds a confirmed-kill counter, a rarer and pricier variant than the standard skin, with the counter permanently tied to the item as it's traded or sold. There's no Souvenir version: Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and the Operation Bravo Case came from an operation, never a Major, so a Souvenir Fire Serpent was never produced.

AK-47 | Fire Serpent Price

Factory New sits at the very top of the Fire Serpent price ladder — grail-tier, four-figure territory — since copies this clean of an old Covert are so scarce. It's one of the most prestigious and expensive AKs you can own, well past ordinary premium skins. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is the AK-47 | Fire Serpent so expensive?

It's a Covert from The Bravo Collection, released back in September 2013, and its case left the active drop pool years ago. That means a fixed, shrinking supply of a top-tier skin with iconic status and heavy collector demand. There's no official count, but it's one of the scarcest and most coveted AK finishes, which pushes prices into grail territory.

Is a Factory New Fire Serpent worth it over Minimal Wear?

If you want the best-preserved look and the strongest collector piece, yes — Factory New is the top condition and the most sought-after, so it holds prestige a step above Minimal Wear. That said, the price gap is steep, and a tidy Minimal Wear reads almost identically in-game, so many buyers take Minimal Wear as the smarter value.

How rare is the AK-47 | Fire Serpent?

Very. As a Covert it drops only around 0.64% of the time, and the Operation Bravo Case is no longer in the active pool, so no new copies enter circulation. There's no published population figure, but it's firmly among the scarcest and most prestigious AK skins — genuine grail material rather than a common pickup.
