MAG-7 | Cobalt Core (Factory New)

The MAG-7 | Cobalt Core (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin wrapped in a blue, futuristic graphic design. Factory New is the cleanest grade, showing the tech-styled artwork at its sharpest and most saturated.

Design

A community design by the artist PoignantEnvy, the Cobalt Core wears a futuristic graphic in cool blue tones — an angular, sci-fi look that gives the shotgun a modern, high-tech feel. It carries the in-game line, "Keep him safe, Carmen - The Valkyrie and The Paramour Part 1."

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core (Factory New) Float and Wear

Factory New copies roll a float from 0.00 to 0.07, the lowest band this finish reaches. At this grade the blue graphics read at full saturation, the edges stay unmarked, and the tech pattern looks its sharpest. For the most vivid version of this futuristic shotgun, this is the grade to reach for.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier near the base of the standard weapon grades, above Industrial and below Restricted. It's a common pull from its case, which keeps it easy on the wallet.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Shadow Collection and unboxes from the Shadow Case, released in September 2015. As a Mil-Spec skin it's the most common tier in the case, dropping at around eighty percent (shared across the tier's blue skins), so it's plentiful and cheap on the market.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Patterns

The design is fixed. The blue graphic prints the same on every copy, so the paint seed changes nothing and there's no blue-gem or jackpot pattern to chase. Wear and float are the only things that set one apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists, minted by the Shadow Case alongside the standard drop; it adds a confirmed-kill counter that never gets wiped, staying with the item through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir edition, since those come only from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never handed out in one.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the cleanest grade available, but as a common Mil-Spec skin the Cobalt Core is budget-friendly even here — an affordable way to add color to the shotgun. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

Only if you want the sharpest surface. Factory New keeps the blue graphics fully saturated with no edge wear, but Minimal Wear looks nearly identical for less. Since this is an affordable finish either way, the price gap is small, so grab Factory New if you simply prefer the top grade on the shelf.

Which gloves go with the Cobalt Core?

Its cool blue, tech-styled palette suits a matching loadout, so blue or navy gloves lock into the color scheme, while a pair with cyan or teal accents plays up the futuristic vibe. Black or gray wraps also work as a neutral base that lets the shotgun's blue graphics stand out.

Does the Cobalt Core come in StatTrak?

Yes. A StatTrak edition drops from the same Shadow Case and tracks your confirmed kills on a counter that never gets wiped, carrying across trades and sales. It's scarcer and pricier than the standard version, but since the base skin is cheap, the StatTrak variant stays reasonably affordable too.
