FAMAS | Afterimage

FAMAS | Afterimage is a CS2 rifle skin with broken red and pale blue ribbons over a dark blue body. Its overlapping trails suit players who prefer colorful, abstract weapon finishes. The painted upper surfaces contrast with mostly gray or black lower components. Factory New through Well-Worn exteriors are available, alongside StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions.

Description

FAMAS | Afterimage brings a layered ribbon design to a Counter-Terrorist rifle in CS2. The FAMAS serves a budget-conscious role between more expensive rifles and less-effective SMGs. This Custom Paint Job gives its receiver, carry handle, and stock a distinctly patterned appearance. Red and pale blue trails cross the darker base, creating contrast without covering every component. The exposed barrel and mostly plain lower parts keep the artwork concentrated on the main body. Its look suits blue-and-red loadouts or players seeking an abstract finish rather than a uniform color scheme. Buyers have several exterior choices, plus standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions to consider. Comparing the version, exact float value, and visible finish helps identify a suitable copy rather than relying on the name alone.

History and Origin

FAMAS | Afterimage was released in CS:GO on December 18, 2013, alongside the eSports 2013 Winter Case. Its introduction came with the Winter Offensive update. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. The skin belongs to The eSports 2013 Winter Collection, linking it to that release's item lineup. Today, copies can be acquired through marketplaces and player-to-player trades in CS2. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, and the eSports 2013 Winter Case no longer drops. Existing cases can still be bought and opened, keeping that acquisition route available despite the retirement. Trade-up contracts using the collection's Restricted skins provide another route, though Afterimage is not a guaranteed result.

Finish Style

Afterimage uses a Custom Paint Job built around interrupted ribbon shapes rather than a single solid color. A dark blue base covers the receiver, carry handle, and stock, with brighter blue patches breaking it up. Red and pale blue trails loop across those surfaces and overlap throughout the design. Thin streaks and dotted lines add finer detail between the broader ribbons. Dark gray patches interrupt the colors around the upper body and stock. The barrel, trigger guard, and grip remain mostly gray or black, outside the busiest painted areas. The magazine is also comparatively plain, with a visible metallic sheen. Together, the concentrated body artwork and restrained lower components give the finish a layered, abstract character.

Float Value

FAMAS | Afterimage has a float value range of 0.02 to 0.40. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, and Well-Worn, with no Battle-Scarred version. StatTrak and Souvenir versions also exist, but version selection is separate from a copy's float value and cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

FAMAS | Afterimage is a Classified rifle skin from The eSports 2013 Winter Collection. Its chance from the eSports 2013 Winter Case is 1.07%, approximately 1 in 94 openings. Known professional owners include SPUNJ, ScreaM, and yam, although ownership alone does not establish current market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Broken ribbon artwork creates a distinctive blue-and-red appearance

• Detailed upper surfaces contrast with comparatively plain lower components

• StatTrak and Souvenir options suit different collecting preferences

• Valve-created finish with an eSports collection origin

Price Range

The live FAMAS | Afterimage price range is $17.10 to $92.12. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a fixed exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, and Well-Worn listings according to the desired condition. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir copies should be checked separately rather than treated as interchangeable purchases. For a useful CS2 skin price comparison, match the version and exterior, then inspect the exact float and listed appearance.

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 eSports 2013 Winter Case

Open the eSports 2013 Winter Case for a chance to obtain FAMAS | Afterimage. The case no longer drops, but existing cases remain available to buy and open. The skin's 1.07% chance makes this a random acquisition route rather than a direct purchase.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A trade-up contract can exchange 10 Restricted skins from The eSports 2013 Winter Collection for 1 Classified skin from that collection. Afterimage is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Classified skins. Compare the required inputs before choosing this route over buying a specific copy.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

FAMAS | Afterimage can be bought on the Steam Community Market. Check the listing's exterior and version, then inspect the exact float where available before deciding whether that copy matches the intended purchase.

5. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading provides another way to acquire FAMAS | Afterimage in exchange for other items. Confirm the offered copy's exterior, float, and version before accepting, especially when choosing between standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir options.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The retired case limits new case supply, but existing openings and trade-up contracts can still produce Afterimage copies. Professional ownership supports interest in the finish without proving reliable resale demand or fast sales. Buyers planning to buy, sell, or trade should compare matching versions and exteriors, since future demand and price direction remain uncertain.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case supply with no new drops

• Ownership by SPUNJ, ScreaM, and yam

• Valve-created finish with a documented 2013 origin

• StatTrak and Souvenir collecting options

The investment rating is medium, balancing its retired case origin and professional ownership against uncertain future demand. Its distinct artwork and available versions support collecting appeal, but not a proven short-term trading opportunity. The main risk is expecting appreciation from case retirement alone when existing cases and trade-up contracts can still add copies.
