The Alpha Collection

All collections

The Alpha Collection released in September 2013 with Operation Bravo. It is an early jungle-and-camo collection whose standout is the FAMAS Spitfire, a shark-mouth nose-art finish, with the SCAR-20 Emerald alongside it.

It is an old, mostly affordable collection, and the Spitfire is the piece worth chasing.

The rare item: FAMAS Spitfire

The Spitfire is painted with a shark's mouth in the style of WWII aircraft nose art, a memento from the Cache map that draws on the Flying Tigers tradition. It is Restricted, with a 0.06 float floor that keeps clean copies scarce: Factory New sits around €435 while worn copies are far cheaper. The SCAR-20 Emerald is the second Restricted.

"Jester's dead. The Spitfire is shark-mouth nose art, one of the best-looking FAMAS skins going."
