AK-47 | Frontside Misty

AK-47 | Frontside Misty released September 17, 2015 as part of the Shadow Case.

It originally released during the CS:GO era, before Valve's Counter-Strike 2 relaunch in September 2023 — its artwork, wear range, and source carried over unchanged into CS2.

It launched as a Classified-tier finish, with both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition.

As a finish, "Frontside Misty" is applied to the AK-47 — the Terrorists' classic assault rifle, known for high per-shot damage and a one-shot headshot kill at most ranges — and carries the pink rarity color every Classified-tier skin shares on the Steam Market and in-game.

That Classified classification places it one tier below the rarest Covert finishes, but above the more common Restricted-and-below skins most loadouts are filled with.

AK-47 | Frontside Misty ships in all five wear conditions, but its float is capped between 0.02 and 0.87 — narrower than the full 0.00–1.00 range some other skins allow.

As with every CS2 skin, lower float values look cleaner: Factory New copies (roughly below 0.07 float) show the finish at its sharpest, while Field-Tested and Well-Worn pieces make up the most commonly traded middle ground between mint and heavily worn.

AK-47 | Frontside Misty comes from the Shadow Case — the Case is no longer part of the active drop pool, so trading and the Steam Community Market are the ways to acquire it today.

Valve's own published Case odds put a Classified-tier pull like this one at roughly 1 in 94 (1.0667%).

There's both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition of this finish, alongside the Normal version — three ways to own the same look, differing only in that badge.

Beyond that, there's no separate "phase" or pattern family tied to this finish in the site's data — it's tracked as a single fixed look across every wear condition it ships in.

As a Classified-tier finish, AK-47 | Frontside Misty sits among the more common pulls from the Shadow Case rather than being a chase item — a straightforward, affordable way to add an AK-47 skin to a loadout or collection.

Its StatTrak™ and Souvenir editions tend to trade at a premium over the Normal version, the same pattern seen across most CS2 skins with that variant available.

AK-47 | Frontside Misty has been part of the Shadow Case since September 17, 2015, and like every CS:GO-era CS2 skin, carried over unchanged when Valve relaunched the game on the Source 2 engine in 2023 — the artwork, wear range, and source Case/Collection are the same today as they were before the migration.

It's one of 3 Classified-tier items in the Shadow Case, out of 16 items total.

This is one of 61 AK-47 skins currently listed on the site, spanning multiple rarity tiers.
