MAC-10 | Lapis Gator (Factory New)

The MAC-10 | Lapis Gator (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec SMG finish wrapped in a vibrant blue alligator-skin hydrographic. Factory New is the top grade on its ladder, and this guide walks through how the look, rarity, and price shift across every wear.

Design

A hydrographic dip gives the whole body a textured, scaly alligator-skin look in a bright blue tone, a reptilian theme from community artist Sun_R. The in-game flavor line keeps things light: "Airboat not included."

MAC-10 | Lapis Gator (Factory New) Float and Wear

Lapis Gator runs a 0.00–0.50 float range, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of it. At this grade the scale texture and blue tone look crisp and fully saturated across the entire body, with nothing dulling the hydrographic finish.

MAC-10 | Lapis Gator Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier and the most common of the standard weapon rarities above the base Consumer Grade.

MAC-10 | Lapis Gator Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Wildfire Collection and drops from the Operation Wildfire Case, released alongside Operation Wildfire in February 2016. Mil-Spec skins as a group pull at a high rate from the case — roughly four out of every five opens land on this tier — so supply has always been plentiful.

MAC-10 | Lapis Gator Patterns

The alligator-skin hydrographic is fixed — it lands the same on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" roll to hunt for here. Wear and float are the only things that change between listings.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ Lapis Gator exists, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries over through trades and sales, and it comes from the same Operation Wildfire Case as the regular finish. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never issued in one.

MAC-10 | Lapis Gator Price

Factory New tops the price ladder for this finish, though the skin as a whole sits at an affordable mid-tier price point, keeping the cleanest grade well within reach. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New Lapis Gator worth the extra cost?

For most buyers, yes, since the finish overall is affordable mid-tier — paying up for the fully saturated hydrographic texture doesn't sting the wallet much here. If budget matters more, Minimal Wear looks nearly identical for less.

Does the Operation Wildfire Case still open?

The case is out of the active drop pool at this point, so most Lapis Gator copies today come from the market rather than fresh unboxing, though supply from its era was plentiful given the high Mil-Spec drop rate.

What are the best gloves for the MAC-10 | Lapis Gator?

Its bright blue reptile texture calls for a blue-toned pair — blue leather or hydra-style gloves make the best MAC-10 Lapis Gator glove combo, tying the loadout together without clashing. Teal or gray gloves are a safer, more neutral alternative.
