MP5-SD | Gold Leaf (Factory New)

The MP5-SD | Gold Leaf (Factory New, FN) is a Mil-Spec finish carrying a green and gold hydrographic camo pattern. Factory New is the cleanest condition it comes in, showing the gold detailing at its most vivid.

Design

Valve designed Gold Leaf around a green and gold hydrographic camo pattern, blending a foliage-style motif with the metallic gold that gives the finish its name. The flavor line "Can you take that outside?" pokes fun at its bright, ornamental look on a combat weapon.

MP5-SD | Gold Leaf (Factory New) Float and Wear

Gold Leaf's float runs from 0.00 up to a capped 0.60 rather than the full 1.00, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range. At this grade the green-and-gold camo shows no scuffing, with the gold elements standing out sharply against the green base.

MP5-SD | Gold Leaf Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier and the most common rarity classification in CS2, sitting below Restricted, Classified, and Covert. It's an easy grade to find at any wear.

MP5-SD | Gold Leaf Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Boreal Collection, which arrived in March 2025 with the Spring Forward update. It isn't tied to any weapon case — copies come from the collection's own drop pool rather than an unboxing container, so no case-tier odds apply here.

MP5-SD | Gold Leaf Patterns

The green and gold camo layout is fixed on every copy — there's no paint seed variation and no "blue gem" version to hunt for. Wear and float are the only things that separate one Gold Leaf from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular finish only — there's no StatTrak version and no Souvenir version. Souvenir copies are reserved strictly for Major-tournament packages, and Gold Leaf has never been part of one.

MP5-SD | Gold Leaf Price

Factory New tops the Gold Leaf price ladder as the cleanest available grade, priced a step above Minimal Wear (MW). It's an affordable mid-tier finish overall, so even this top grade stays budget-friendly. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is Gold Leaf's Factory New capped below a full float range?

The finish is float-capped at a maximum of 0.60 rather than 1.00, but that cap affects the worn end of the scale, not Factory New. Factory New still sits at the very bottom, at 0.00, showing the camo pattern at its cleanest.

What does the green and gold pattern represent?

It's a hydrographic camo finish blending foliage-green tones with metallic gold accents, giving the MP5-SD an ornamental, almost decorative look rather than a purely tactical one — hence the tongue-in-cheek flavor text "Can you take that outside?"

Where does Gold Leaf come from?

It belongs to The Boreal Collection, released in March 2025 with the Spring Forward update. It's not sourced from a weapon case — copies come from the collection's own drop pool instead.
