CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu is a CS2 pistol skin featuring purple and gold snakes over a dark brown-black base. Its dense artwork suits players who prefer elaborate detailing rather than a plain finish. The design extends across the slide, receiver, grip and forward magazine. All exterior grades are available, alongside StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions.

Description

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu applies an intricate snake design to the fully automatic CZ75-Auto pistol in CS2. The weapon's limited magazine capacity makes controlled firing important, regardless of the equipped finish. Nine snakes form the central artwork, combining purple bodies with gold outlines and small decorative details. Their overlapping shapes give the pistol a layered appearance without relying on a bright background. This look suits purple-themed loadouts and players who enjoy detailed animal motifs on their weapons. Professional players chrisJ, karrigan and Zeus have owned the skin, providing documented examples of ownership beyond casual inventories. Buyers can choose among every exterior grade and decide whether a standard, StatTrak or Souvenir version fits their collection. When comparing listings, the actual item image, float value and version help distinguish copies sharing the same finish name.

History and Origin

Xiangliu was released on March 15, 2017, alongside the Spectrum Case. Its introduction formed part of the Spectrum Case Skins update. The Honey Badger created the finish as a Steam Workshop community designer. The skin belongs to The Spectrum Collection, which also provides its trade-up route. Opening a Spectrum Case gives a 1.07% chance of obtaining Xiangliu. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, and the Spectrum Case no longer drops. Existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened, so retirement did not remove the case-opening route. Buyers can also obtain existing copies through marketplaces or player trades rather than relying on a random result.

Finish Style

The Gunsmith finish combines a dark brown-black foundation with purple snakes and fine gold detailing. Across the slide and receiver, overlapping bodies create a dense pattern that continues over the top and sides. Gold outlines distinguish individual snakes, while scales and small facial details add definition within the crowded artwork. The grip carries delicate gold serpentine lines beside a bright purple rear panel. Dark oval openings and curling shapes break up that panel, giving the rear section its own visual rhythm. The long forward magazine has a dark metallic lower section, gold linework and a purple snake motif near its top. Purple coloring also appears on the trigger and projecting plates, connecting those smaller components to the larger painted surfaces. The mostly dark barrel and trigger guard provide quieter areas beside the heavily decorated body.

Float Value

The float value of CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu ranges from 0.00 to 0.56. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, so none of the standard exterior grades is missing. StatTrak and Souvenir versions also exist, but version availability is separate from the cosmetic condition indicated by an individual copy's float.

Rarity and Popularity

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu has Classified rarity, which is separate from its exterior grade and finish style. Its stated chance from the Spectrum Case is 1.07%, making a specific Xiangliu result uncertain when opening a case. Ownership by chrisJ, karrigan and Zeus gives the skin professional visibility, without establishing how quickly individual listings will sell.

Why it’s Popular:

• Purple and gold snakes create a distinctive, detailed pistol finish

• Dark surfaces balance the dense decorative artwork

• Every exterior grade offers flexibility when choosing a copy

• StatTrak and Souvenir versions provide additional collection options

Price Range

The live CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu price range is $7.85 to $48.42. These bounds cover the whole skin rather than any particular exterior or version. Exterior and float value help buyers compare cosmetic condition, while standard, StatTrak and Souvenir copies should be identified separately. The asking price should be considered alongside the listing image instead of treating every copy within an exterior as visually identical. For a useful CS2 skin price comparison, buyers should match the desired version and condition before choosing where to buy.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the Spectrum Case

Opening a Spectrum Case offers a chance to obtain Xiangliu, with a stated probability of 1.07%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. This route produces a random result rather than allowing selection of the skin or exterior.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract using 10 Restricted skins from The Spectrum Collection produces a Classified skin from that collection. Xiangliu is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Classified skins. The contract therefore offers another acquisition route without guaranteeing this particular finish.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market provides a route to buy an existing Xiangliu copy directly. Buyers should check the listed exterior and version, then examine available item details before purchasing. Unlike opening a Spectrum Case, choosing an existing listing does not depend on receiving this skin randomly.

5. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading allows an existing Xiangliu copy to be exchanged for other items. Both parties should verify the item's exterior, float value and version before accepting the exchange. Trading changes ownership rather than creating a new copy through a case opening or contract.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Spectrum Case retirement limits fresh case supply, but existing case openings and trade-up contracts can still introduce additional Xiangliu copies. Professional ownership offers visibility, not proof of sustained demand or predictable price growth. Buyers and sellers should compare exterior, float and version when deciding which copy to buy, sell or trade.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Spectrum Case supply receives no new drops

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Detailed purple-and-gold snake artwork

• StatTrak and Souvenir options broaden collection choices

Xiangliu earns a medium investment rating: retired case supply and documented professional ownership offer support, but future price direction remains uncertain. Trade-up contracts and existing case openings can still add copies, creating the main supply risk. Its decorative appeal supports consideration as a playable collectible, not a promise of profitable resale.
