In Counter-Strike 2, players can purchase or unbox gun skins from cases they receive as weekly drops. Among the most iconic skins in CS2 is the AK-47 Case Hardened, available in various unique patterns, each with different valuations.
Recently, a unique StatTrak edition AK-47 Case Hardened skin with the rare ‘661 pattern’ was spotted on Buff.163.com, a China-based P2P trading platform for CS2 items. According to YouTuber and CS2 trader ohNoPixel, this skin is estimated to be worth between $800,000 and $1 million.
AFTER 10 YEARS, IT FINALLY HAPPENED…
STATTRAK FACTORY NEW #661 SCAR PATTERN
What makes this skin so valuable is that this pattern has not surfaced for 10 years. According to CSGOBlueGem.com, it is a ‘statistical anomaly‘ to obtain this AK-47 skin with a 661 pattern through a trade-up contract or case unboxing.
In essence, the 661 pattern on AK-47 Case Hardened gun skins is extremely rare. Compared to the standard price of this skin on the Steam market, this rare 661 pattern skin costs about 1000 times more. Yes, you heard that correctly—there is a virtual gun skin in Valve’s Counter-Strike 2 that is worth 1 million dollars.

This highlights the immense wealth that people hold in the form of Counter-Strike 2 items. The game features a massive economy and a robust trading system, enabling players to buy, sell, and trade valuable in-game assets.
Whether or not you believe that virtual gun skins should be real and cost this much, the newly discovered AK-47 Case Hardened skin in Counter-Strike 2, with its super rare 661 pattern, is likely to sell for an extremely high price if it goes on sale.
