Five-SeveN | Monkey Business

Five-SeveN | Monkey Business is a CS2 pistol skin built around a bright yellow banana graphic. The design stretches across the slide and curves toward the grip, contrasting with dark gray surfaces and blue accents. Its playful appearance suits players who prefer a humorous loadout over a restrained weapon finish. It comes in Minimal Wear through Battle-Scarred, with standard, StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions available.

Description

Five-SeveN | Monkey Business gives the Counter-Terrorist Five-SeveN pistol a distinctive food-themed appearance in CS2. The underlying weapon combines accuracy and armor penetration with forgiving recoil. Its slow reload is balanced by a 20-round magazine, independently of the cosmetic finish selected. Monkey Business uses a large banana illustration as its main feature rather than covering every surface with decorative detail. The flavor text reinforces that joke by suggesting that playing with food can sometimes be acceptable. This makes the finish a natural fit for players who want a lighthearted pistol with a clearly defined visual theme. Standard, StatTrak and Souvenir versions provide different collecting options without changing the central artwork. Buyers can compare those versions alongside exterior and float value to find a copy that matches their preferences.

History and Origin

Five-SeveN | Monkey Business was released on April 15, 2015, alongside the Chroma 2 Case. It arrived through the update named Chroma 2 Case Skins. Steam Workshop community designer LoveCroissant created the finish, giving it a documented community origin. The skin belongs to The Chroma 2 Collection, which also determines its eligible collection-based trade-up route. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, the Chroma 2 Case no longer drops, so new case supply does not enter through that route. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, keeping the original case-opening method available. Today, the skin can also be obtained through direct market purchases, player trades and eligible trade-up contracts.

Finish Style

The Custom Paint Job centers the design on a bright yellow banana, giving the pistol a bold, illustrated appearance. That graphic runs along the slide before curving down the rear of the grip. Orange-brown outlines and streaks define the peel and separate its shapes from the surrounding weapon surfaces. Brown patches appear near the muzzle and at the grip base as part of the artwork. The frame, accessory rail and most of the textured grip remain dark gray with blue tones. Bright blue covers the trigger and a small area above the grip, adding accents outside the main yellow motif. A blue oval badge near the upper grip contains yellow 57 lettering and sits directly on the banana graphic. Mostly plain dark areas surround the large illustration, keeping attention on its outline and the contrast between yellow and blue.

Float Value

The float value range for Five-SeveN | Monkey Business is exactly 0.10 to 0.90. Available exteriors are Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with no Factory New version. StatTrak and Souvenir versions also exist, but those labels describe item versions rather than additional exterior grades.

Rarity and Popularity

Five-SeveN | Monkey Business has Classified rarity, separate from its exterior condition and version. Its stated chance from the Chroma 2 Case is 1.07%, or about 1 in 94 openings. Professional owners include FalleN, Happy and tarik, providing documented ownership without establishing current buying demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Bright banana artwork gives the pistol a playful identity

• Yellow and blue details contrast with the dark frame

• StatTrak and Souvenir versions offer additional collecting choices

• Owned by professional players FalleN, Happy and tarik

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for Five-SeveN | Monkey Business is $9.99 to $74.70. These bounds cover the whole skin rather than a particular exterior or version. Minimal Wear sits in a higher price tier than the more worn examples in the available listings. Standard, StatTrak and Souvenir copies should be compared separately, with attention to the exact exterior and float rather than the version label alone. When preparing to buy, sell or trade, match the listed item details before using another copy's asking price as a reference.

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 Chroma 2 Case

Open the Chroma 2 Case for a chance to obtain this finish, with a stated skin probability of 1.07%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. An opening does not guarantee Monkey Business or a preferred exterior.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A trade-up contract can exchange 10 Restricted skins from The Chroma 2 Collection for 1 Classified skin from that collection. Monkey Business is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Classified skins. This route cannot guarantee the specific finish.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing copy on the Steam Community Market to select the listed skin rather than attempt a random case or contract result. Check the exterior, float value and version before choosing an offer, especially when comparing differently labeled copies.

5. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading offers another route to obtain an existing copy in exchange for items. Confirm the exact skin, exterior, float value and version before accepting, so the offered item matches the intended trade.

Trading and Investment Considerations

No new Chroma 2 Cases drop, although existing cases and trade-up contracts can still produce additional copies of this skin. Professional ownership adds collecting context, but it does not establish resale speed or future demand. Compare standard, StatTrak and Souvenir listings by exterior and float instead of treating all available copies as interchangeable.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case limits new case supply

• Distinctive banana artwork gives the finish a recognizable identity

• StatTrak and Souvenir versions provide collecting options

• Documented ownership by FalleN, Happy and tarik

The investment rating is medium-to-good, an editorial judgment supported by retired case supply, distinctive artwork and documented professional ownership. It is better approached as a selective collection purchase than a predictable short-term flip. The main risk is uncertain future demand, while existing case openings and trade-up contracts can continue adding skin copies.
