AK-47 | Frontside Misty (Factory New)

The AK-47 | Frontside Misty (Factory New) is a Classified rifle skin painted in vibrant arctic colors, a cyan-and-white graffiti design applied with a loose spray-paint look. Factory New is the cleanest grade this skin comes in, showing the icy artwork at its brightest and most saturated.

Design

Frontside Misty is a Valve in-house finish painted in vibrant arctic colors — a cyan-and-white, spray-paint-style graphic with misty motifs washed across the body and carbon inserts on the rifle's parts. It leans on cool tones and a hand-sprayed feel rather than sharp geometric detailing, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "I like to work in the snow... it always leaves a pretty picture."

AK-47 | Frontside Misty (Factory New) Float and Wear

The AK-47 | Frontside Misty runs a wide float range starting at 0.02, so Factory New copies do exist and sit at the very top end of the scale. At Factory New the cyan tones stay bright and the sprayed edges stay well-defined, with no visible scratching to break up the arctic look. It's the top grade for anyone who wants the artwork exactly as intended.

AK-47 | Frontside Misty Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, second from the top of the standard weapon grades, just below Covert. It's a genuinely uncommon grade to pull from a case.

AK-47 | Frontside Misty Case and Collection

The AK-47 | Frontside Misty is part of The Shadow Collection and drops from the Shadow Case, released in the September 2015 update on September 18, 2015. The Classified tier as a whole drops about 3.2% of the time from the case, and as an older case its Frontside Misty copies are mostly bought on the market rather than freshly unboxed.

AK-47 | Frontside Misty Patterns

The AK-47 | Frontside Misty has no random pattern variation — the arctic spray design sits the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. Wear and float are the only things that separate one Frontside Misty from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ AK-47 | Frontside Misty exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier drop than the standard skin, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and the Shadow Case was never a Major drop.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

If you want the crispest look, yes. Factory New shows the cyan-and-white artwork at its most vivid, with no scratching to interrupt the sprayed detail. Minimal Wear is cheaper and very close visually, so the Factory New premium is mainly about owning the top grade rather than a dramatic difference you'd notice mid-round.

Does the AK-47 | Frontside Misty come in Factory New?

Yes. The finish starts at a float of 0.02, which falls inside the Factory New band, so early-float copies are made and traded. Factory New is the highest grade available and the brightest way to run the arctic design, sitting a step above Minimal Wear on both looks and price.

Which gloves go with the AK-47 | Frontside Misty?

Its cool cyan-and-white palette suits a light, icy loadout, so blue, teal, or white gloves work best — a cyan or aqua pair echoes the sprayed tones, while pale wraps keep the wintry feel. Pair it with other cool-toned blues for a clean, color-matched setup.
