About the AK-47 | Fire Serpent
The AK-47 | Fire Serpent is a Covert rifle skin from The Bravo Collection. It was released in CS:GO in September 2013 with the Operation Bravo Case, at the start of Operation Bravo, and it is still available in CS2.
It is one of the oldest Covert AK skins and one of the most recognizable, and it comes from a weapon case with a StatTrak™ version, so there are plenty of copies to compare across every wear.
The wear tabs at the top of this page show the current AK Fire Serpent price for each condition.
Design
The body of the rifle shows a green serpent from Mayan mythology, coiled among grey-blue thunderclouds. The stock and handguard are wood, the grip is painted brown, and the barrel is left unpainted. The colors on this page break down as mostly grey, with red, brown, and green.
The design is the same on every copy. There is no pattern to check, so the look of a particular Fire Serpent comes down to its wear.
How to Get the AK-47 | Fire Serpent
There are three ways to get a Fire Serpent 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 | Fire Serpent drops from the Operation Bravo Case. It is one of two Covert skins in the case, alongside the Desert Eagle | Golden Koi. Covert drops are rare, at around 0.64% per case.
- Trade up to it. Ten Classified skins from The Bravo Collection trade up into one of its two Coverts, so the result is either a Fire Serpent or a Desert Eagle | Golden Koi. The Classified skins in the collection are the AWP | Graphite, P2000 | Ocean Foam, and P90 | Emerald Dragon.
Wear Conditions and Float
The Fire Serpent has a float range from 0.06 to 0.76, 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 0.06, Factory New only covers 0.06 to 0.07, which makes Factory New copies especially scarce.
The first scratches appear on the body at Field-Tested. Near the top of the range the painted parts are heavily scuffed 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.
Variants
The AK-47 | Fire Serpent comes in a standard version and a StatTrak™ version, which counts your kills with the weapon. Pricempire lists each version separately, so you can compare them using the toggle above.
What Drives the Price of the AK-47 | Fire Serpent
- Wear. Condition is the biggest factor. With such a narrow Factory New band, Factory New copies sit far above the rest.
- Float within a condition. A low float inside any wear bracket usually carries a premium, especially close to the 0.06 minimum.
- StatTrak™. The StatTrak™ version is scarcer than the standard one and priced separately.
- Case supply. The Operation Bravo Case is one of the oldest cases in the game and is opened far less than current ones, so few new copies enter the market.
- Demand for the AK-47. The rifle is bought in almost every match, which keeps interest in its Covert skins high.
- Applied stickers. Rare or well-placed stickers can add value that standard price data does not show.
Compare the offers above before you buy or sell, and set a price alert if you are waiting for a particular level.
