AK-47 | Case Hardened was part of The Arms Deal Collection, distributed through the original CS:GO Weapon Case — the first case ever introduced to CS:GO in August 2013. It is one of the longest-circulating AK finishes in the game.
Drops from the CS:GO Weapon Case, which is no longer in the active weekly drop pool. Supply is gated by remaining unopened keys and existing inventory.
Case Hardened has become a flagship 'pattern-hunting' skin in the CS2 trading economy. The Scar pattern (paint seed 661) and Blue Gem variants regularly command five- and six-figure sums in private deals, making this one of the most economically interesting AKs in the game.
Classified is the second-highest standard container rarity, with weighted drop odds of roughly 1 in 156 per CS:GO Weapon Case opening.
Generic-pattern copies remain readily available across markets in lower wears, but premium patterns (high blue percentage, Scar 661) trade in entirely separate price brackets often via off-market deals.
Float values span 0.00–1.00, so all five exteriors are obtainable. A StatTrak™ version exists; no Souvenir variant is offered.
Color case-hardening finish — the same heat-and-charcoal metallurgical process used historically on Colt revolvers. Each copy's pattern is randomised by paint seed (1–1000), producing the in-trade obsession with blue percentage and Scar configurations.
Among the AK's most loved finishes for its blend of accessibility and pattern-hunt depth. The Case Hardened pattern economy is one of CS2's defining sub-cultures, with trade communities dedicated entirely to ranking blue copies.
