About the AK-47 | Wild Lotus
The AK-47 | Wild Lotus is a Covert rifle skin from The St. Marc Collection and one of the most sought-after AK skins in CS2. It was released in November 2019 with Operation Shattered Web, and it has sat near the top of the AK-47 market ever since.
Two things set the Wild Lotus AK apart. The first is the artwork: a hand-painted lotus in full bloom, which looks like nothing else on the rifle. The second is supply. It is the only Covert skin in its collection, the collection has no weapon case, and it was never available in StatTrak™. Very few exist compared with case-dropped AK skins.
That combination makes it a collector's piece more than an everyday skin. It trades far less often than most rifles, so the listings and price history on this page matter more than a single headline price.
Design
The Wild Lotus uses a custom paint job. An orange lotus flower and trailing leaves are painted across a deep green base, running from the stock through the receiver to the handguard. The colors on this page break down as mostly green, with red, brown, and orange through the flowers and woodwork.
The artwork is the same on every copy. Unlike a Case Hardened or Fade finish, the pattern does not change from one Wild Lotus to the next, so the look of a particular copy comes down to its wear.
How to Get the AK-47 | Wild Lotus
The Wild Lotus belongs to The St. Marc Collection, which was earned through Operation Shattered Web and is no longer available as a drop. There are two ways to get one today.
- Buy it from a marketplace. This is the route almost every buyer takes. The offers at the top of this page show every marketplace with a listing.
- Trade up to it. Ten Classified skins from The St. Marc Collection can be traded up into a Wild Lotus. The only Classified in the collection is the MP9 | Wild Lily, so a trade-up needs ten of those.
Wear Conditions and Float
The Wild Lotus has a full float range from 0.00 to 1.00, so it exists in all five wear conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred.
Wear matters on this skin because the paintwork is the point. Cleaner copies keep the flowers and leaves intact, and scratching builds up as the float rises. Use the 3D inspect tool on this page to see how a given wear looks before you buy, and check the exact float of any listing, since two copies in the same condition can look different.
Switch between conditions using the tabs above. Each one has its own listings and price history.
Variants
The Wild Lotus comes in a standard version and a Souvenir version. Pricempire lists the two separately, so you can compare them using the Normal and Souvenir toggle. There is no StatTrak™ version.
What Drives the Price of the AK-47 | Wild Lotus
- Fixed supply. The collection is no longer dropping, so new copies only appear through trade-ups.
- Wear. The gap between conditions is wide on this skin. Clean copies are scarce and priced well above worn ones.
- Float within a condition. A low float inside any wear bracket usually carries a premium.
- Applied stickers. Rare or well-placed stickers can add value that standard price data does not show.
- Low trading volume. Few copies change hands, so one sale can move the average. Read the price history over a longer window, not a single week.
Because it trades rarely, prices also differ more between marketplaces than they do for liquid skins. Compare the offers above before you buy or sell, and set a price alert if you are waiting for a particular level.
