The Control Collection released in December 2020 with Operation Broken Fang, as a mission-reward collection rather than a case. It is home to the AWP Fade, a Covert that trades into four figures, with the M4A1-S Blue Phosphor and USP-S Target Acquired behind it.
It also holds the famous M4A4 Global Offensive. This is a high-value, collection-only set.

An Operation Broken Fang collection from Consumer up to Covert, distributed only through the collection.
The Fade is airbrushed with transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat, a clean gradient with the chrome visible beneath. Its 0.08 float ceiling makes almost every copy Factory New, and prices sit around €770 to €810 in the cleanest grades. The M4A1-S Blue Phosphor and USP-S Target Acquired are the other high-value pieces.
"This isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece. The AWP Fade is a collection-only chrome gradient into four figures."
Control Collection skins come only from the Operation Broken Fang mission rewards, with no case drop path, so supply is fixed. Compare live prices on our markets page.
Ten same-rarity skins from this collection can be traded up toward the tier above, and since the May 2026 update Souvenir skins can be used in trade-ups too. There is no knife or glove craft, and the expected value is negative.
Control is a collection-only set with fixed supply and a genuinely strong lineup: the AWP Fade, Blue Phosphor, Target Acquired and the logo-bearing Global Offensive. Scarcity and the Operation Broken Fang tie-in keep it in demand. A strong collector hold.
