CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu (Factory New)

The CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu (Factory New) is a Classified pistol skin wrapped in a custom paint job of nine purple and gold snakes. Factory New shows that serpent artwork at its most vivid, right at the top of this finish's own price ladder.

Design

Valve describes the Xiangliu as a custom paint job featuring nine purple and gold snakes, a dense, mythologically-flavored design with strong color contrast. It carries the line "Beware the rising tide" and comes from community designer The Honey Badger.

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu (Factory New) Float and Wear

The Xiangliu is capped between 0.00 and 0.56, so it never rolls anywhere close to a heavily worn state even at its worst. Factory New sits right at the bottom of that range, and here the purple-and-gold snake artwork looks fully saturated with no scuffing to soften the detail.

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu Rarity

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

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Spectrum Collection and drops from the Spectrum Case, which launched with the Take a trip to the Canals update in March 2017. Classified skins as a tier drop at around 3.2% odds, a rate shared across the tier, which supports this finish's premium pricing.

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu Patterns

This finish has a fixed design — the paint-seed index doesn't change how it looks, so the nine snakes appear in the same positions on every copy. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt; only wear and float separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular finish and a StatTrak version, with StatTrak permanently tracking confirmed kills once it starts counting. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never offered in one.

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Xiangliu's price ladder, its priciest and cleanest form, and a genuinely premium finish within the CZ75-Auto lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How rare is the CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu?

It's a Classified finish, the second-highest standard weapon grade, dropping at roughly 3.2% odds shared across the tier from the Spectrum Case. That relative scarcity, plus demand for the snake artwork, keeps it at a premium price point.

Does Factory New look much better than Minimal Wear on this skin?

Both grades sit near the bottom of the Xiangliu's capped 0.00–0.56 float range, so the difference is subtle. The snakes look vivid on either grade, meaning Minimal Wear is a reasonable way to save money without a big visual downgrade.

What does "Beware the rising tide" refer to?

It's the in-game flavor text attached to this finish, viewable on the item's inspect screen. It ties into the design's serpent theme rather than describing any gameplay effect.
