Sawed-Off | Чёрный песок

Origin Story

The Sawed-Off | Black Sand, released on December 6, 2018, as part of the Welcome to the Danger Zone update, is a military-themed shotgun skin from The Danger Zone Collection. It features a custom-painted tan and black camouflage pattern, giving it a rugged, tactical appearance. This design aligns with the broader aesthetic of the Danger Zone Collection, which often includes other camo and militia-style items. The skin is generally considered a budget-friendly option for players seeking a military-themed loadout.

Drop Chance

Sawed-Off | Black Sand is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Danger Zone Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Danger Zone Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.9. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($1.95): The tan and black military camo pattern is fully intact with sharp edges and vibrant colors, especially on the receiver and fore-end.
• Minimal Wear ($0.57): Only light, localized wear appears on very sharp edges or the barrel tip, with the camo pattern remaining pristine in first person.
• Field-Tested ($0.29): Noticeable chipping along edges and early wear on high-contact surfaces like the fore-end and barrel tip, but the camo pattern remains fully readable.
• Well-Worn ($0.25): The camo appears more heavily scuffed with larger patches of underlying material showing through on the muzzle, top edges, and stock, making the tan portions look duller.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.26): Significant portions of the edge and surface camo are missing or heavily abraded, especially on the barrel, receiver top, and stock, with the darker base material dominating.

Model

Black Sand uses the legacy Sawed-Off model, introduced with Welcome to the Danger Zone on December 6, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
