About the AK-47 | Frontside Misty
The AK-47 | Frontside Misty is a Classified rifle skin from The Shadow Collection. It was released in CS:GO in September 2015 with the Shadow Case, and it is still one of the best-known AK skins in CS2.
Its icy blue and white swirls stand out against most AK designs, and as a Classified skin from a weapon case it sits well below the Covert AKs in price. That makes it a popular pick for players who want a distinctive AK without the cost of a top-rarity skin.
The wear tabs at the top of this page show the current AK Frontside Misty price for each condition.
Design
The rifle has a black body covered in a white and blue pattern of curls and wavy lines, in what the in-game description calls vibrant arctic colors. Some parts have carbon-fiber inserts. The colors on this page break down as mostly cyan, with grey and black.
The design is the same on every copy. There is no pattern to check, so the look of a particular Frontside Misty comes down to its wear.
How to Get the AK-47 | Frontside Misty
There are three ways to get a Frontside Misty in CS2.
- Buy it from a marketplace. This is the route most players take, because it lets you pick the exact wear and float. The offers at the top of this page show every marketplace with a listing.
- Open a case. The AK-47 | Frontside Misty drops from the Shadow Case. Classified skins drop at around 3.2% per case, shared between the three Classified skins in the case.
- Trade up to it. Ten Restricted skins from The Shadow Collection trade up into one of its three Classified skins: the Frontside Misty, the G3SG1 | Flux, or the SSG 08 | Big Iron.
Wear Conditions and Float
The Frontside Misty has a float range from 0.02 to 0.87, so it exists in all five wear conditions: Factory New (FN), Minimal Wear (MW), Field-Tested (FT), Well-Worn (WW), and Battle-Scarred (BS). Because the range starts at 0.02, no copy can have a float below that.
The first marks appear at Minimal Wear. Near the top of the range the painted parts are heavily scratched and the paint on the magazine is almost gone. Use the 3D inspect tool on this page to see how a given wear looks before you buy.
Switch between conditions using the tabs above. Each one has its own listings and price history.

What Drives the Price of the AK-47 | Frontside Misty
- Wear. Condition is the biggest factor. Factory New and Minimal Wear copies sit well above worn ones.
- Float within a condition. A low float inside any wear bracket usually carries a premium.
- StatTrak™. The StatTrak™ version is scarcer than the standard one and priced separately.
- Rarity. As a Classified skin it drops more often than Covert skins, which keeps it more affordable than the top AKs.
- Case supply. The Shadow Case is an older case that is opened far less than current ones.
- Demand for the AK-47. The rifle is bought in almost every match, which keeps interest in its popular skins high.
- Applied stickers. Rare or well-placed stickers can add value that standard price data does not show.
