The Cartel uses a Patina finish technique (paint index #394). Inspired by the natural aging process of metals, the Patina finish imitates the look of a weapon that has been exposed to the elements over time. It features a weathered, tarnished appearance, often with shades of copper or bronze, giving the weapon an antique or vintage character. This skin currently uses the legacy CS:GO model.
Powerful and reliable, the AK-47 is one of the most popular assault rifles in the world. It is most deadly in short, controlled bursts of fire. It has been engraved with skeletons, flowers and serpents.
The AK-47 is classified as a rifle in CS2 , available in-game for $2,700. Base damage output is 36 with a fire rate of 600 RPM. See all AK-47 skins for additional options.
