AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 (Factory New)

The AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 (Factory New) is a Restricted rifle skin with a hand-painted red and black cosmic motif spread across the body. Factory New is the cleanest grade the skin comes in, showing the space-themed artwork at its sharpest and deepest.

Design

Orbit Mk01 wears a hand-painted red and black design with a space-nebula look, leaning on orbital motifs and rich contrast rather than sharp graphics. It's a community design by the artist nozza, and it carries the in-game line "Recovered from COLONY01" that fits the cosmic theme.

AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 (Factory New) Float and Wear

At Factory New the finish sits at the low end of the float scale, so the red-and-black nebula artwork stays vivid with no scratching or fading. The deep blacks and bright reds read at their fullest here, which is exactly what draws people to the top grade. If you want the best-looking Orbit Mk01, this is the exterior to reach for.

AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, sitting in the middle of the standard weapon grades, above Mil-Spec and below Classified. It's a solid mid-rarity grade to pull from a case.

AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 Case and Collection

The AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 is part of The Operation Hydra Collection and drops from the Operation Hydra Case. As a Restricted it lands roughly 15.98% of the time from the case, and with the Operation Hydra Case out of the active drop pool, supply is fixed — most copies are bought on the market rather than unboxed.

AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 Patterns

The AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 is hand-painted with no random pattern variation — the red and black artwork 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 Orbit Mk01 from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it comes from the Operation Hydra Case as 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 packages, and this skin's case has never been a Major drop.

AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Orbit Mk01 price ladder, since it's the cleanest grade the skin comes in — a clear step above the more worn exteriors. It's an affordable mid-tier pick within the AK-47 lineup, so the top grade stays reachable rather than grail-priced. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the premium?

If you want the artwork at its best, yes. Factory New shows the red-and-black nebula design with the deepest color and no wear, which is a real visual step up from the mid grades. It's the most expensive exterior of this skin, so the premium is about owning the top-grade copy rather than a night-and-day gap over Minimal Wear.

Does Factory New have any scratches?

No. At the bottom of the float range the finish is essentially pristine, with the cosmic motif fully intact and no visible scuffing on the body or edges. This is the best condition the Orbit Mk01 comes in, which is why it anchors the top of the price range for the skin.

Which gloves go with the AK-47 | Orbit Mk01?

Its red-and-black space palette suits a dark, warm-toned loadout, so black or red gloves work best — a red pair picks up the nebula highlights, while black wraps lean into the deep-space backdrop. Pair it with other red-and-black pieces for a cohesive cosmic set.
