AK-47 | Predator (Factory New)

The AK-47 | Predator (Factory New) is an Industrial Grade rifle skin finished in a green-and-black zebra-stripe spray pattern. Factory New is the top grade in the range — the crispest this budget-friendly classic ever looks.

Design

Predator is spray-painted in a green-and-black zebra, or tiger-stripe, pattern that wraps the rifle in a rugged, almost camo-like look. It's a Valve-made finish and one of the earliest AK-47 skins in the game, leaning on a simple striped print rather than busy graphics or decals.

AK-47 | Predator (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish sits at the low end of the float scale here, so the green-and-black stripes read at their sharpest with no visible scratching or fading. This is as clean as the Predator gets, and on a Factory New copy the contrast between the dark base and the lighter stripes holds across the whole body. If you want the pristine version of this old-school AK, Factory New is it.

AK-47 | Predator Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier, near the bottom of the standard weapon grades, just above Consumer Grade. It's a common grade, which is a big reason the Predator stays so affordable.

AK-47 | Predator Case and Collection

The AK-47 | Predator belongs to The Dust Collection, one of the original skin collections introduced with the Arms Deal update on August 14, 2013. As one of the game's earliest AK-47 finishes, it's been in circulation for over a decade, and its long history plus a low rarity keep supply plentiful on the market.

AK-47 | Predator Patterns

The AK-47 | Predator has no meaningful random pattern variation — the green-and-black zebra stripes sit essentially 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 Predator from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak AK-47 | Predator — this finish was never offered with a StatTrak kill counter, so a confirmed-kill version simply doesn't exist. There's no Souvenir version either — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and this skin was never part of a Major drop.

AK-47 | Predator Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Predator price ladder as the highest grade, yet it's still one of the cheapest AK-47 finishes you can buy — firmly budget territory even at its best exterior. It's a great pick-up for players who want a tidy AK without spending much. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the premium over Minimal Wear?

Only just, because the whole skin is inexpensive to begin with. Factory New gives you the sharpest stripes and no wear at all, but Minimal Wear looks nearly identical for a touch less. Since both grades cost little, the small step up to the top grade is easy if you want the tidiest copy.

Why is the AK-47 | Predator so cheap?

It's an Industrial Grade finish from one of the oldest collections in the game, so it's both common and abundant on the market after more than a decade in circulation. Low rarity plus high supply keeps the price down, which makes the Predator a popular first AK skin.

Which gloves go with the AK-47 | Predator?

Its green-and-black palette suits an earthy, tactical loadout, so green, olive, or black gloves fit best — a green pair echoes the stripes, while black wraps keep the rugged, camo-style vibe. It pairs naturally with other green or military-themed skins for a matching kit.
