UMP-45 | Continuum

Origin Story

The UMP-45 Continuum, released on September 17, 2025, as part of the Show Off update, introduces a distinctive visual to the submachine gun. Its custom paint job features alternating bands of black and blue, creating a stark contrast across the weapon's body. The design, coupled with the flavor text "Into the void," suggests a theme of depth and mystery. This aesthetic choice ensures the skin presents a bold and recognizable appearance during gameplay.

Drop Chance

UMP-45 | Continuum is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Sealed Genesis Terminal: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Sealed Genesis Terminal (about 1 in 313). 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($5.23): The alternating black and blue bands appear crisp and fully saturated across the UMP-45's receiver and upper body, with no visible scratches.
• Minimal Wear ($2.14): Very light edge wear may begin to appear on the front of the weapon and around sharp corners, but the black and blue bands retain their vibrancy.
• Field-Tested ($0.92): Noticeable edge wear develops on the front shroud, magazine well, and stock edges, with some desaturation of the black and blue bands, though the pattern remains clear.
• Well-Worn ($0.80): Larger patches of exposed base material appear on edges and corners, and the alternating bands look more muted and washed out.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.62): Extensive wear covers the body, with large areas where the black and blue bands are disrupted or partially missing, and colors appear significantly faded.
