The Hazard Pay is part of The 2021 Vertigo Collection, a souvenir pool tied to Vertigo's place in CS2's competitive map rotation. It appeared across six major tournament packages from Stockholm 2021 through Shanghai 2024.
Custom painted with a yellow base and traffic cone orange accents — the universal color scheme of construction zones and hazard warnings. The name 'Hazard Pay' references the additional compensation workers receive for dangerous conditions, fitting the Vertigo map's construction-site-on-a-skyscraper setting. The flavor text 'Throw caution to the wind one bullet at a time' is appropriately reckless.
Classified souvenir skins are rare across any map pool and command significant collector attention. The Hazard Pay's yellow-and-orange construction aesthetic is immediately recognizable and thematically precise for the Vertigo setting.
Classified, dropping at roughly 1 in 156 odds from the souvenir packages.
Obtainable from Vertigo souvenir packages across six tournaments from Stockholm 2021 through Shanghai 2024. All sourcing events are concluded, making supply permanently fixed at what was opened during those tournaments.
Factory New through the very lowest Battle-Scarred range available within the 0–0.48 float ceiling; BS copies exist only in the 0.45–0.48 range, making them exceptionally scarce. No StatTrak variant; Terrorist-side only.
Custom painted yellow base with traffic cone orange accents — a construction zone hazard color scheme applied across the weapon body.
One of the most sought-after SG 553 skins and a standout within the Vertigo souvenir pool. The Hazard Pay's Classified rarity, thematic precision, and concluded supply make it a significant collector target.
