Five-SeveN | Nightshade

Five-SeveN | Nightshade is a CS2 pistol skin with a floral hydrographic finish across its dark charcoal slide. Cream flowers, muted reddish-brown details, and a mostly plain blue-gray frame give it a botanical look with restrained colors. It suits players who prefer decorative patterns over a plain weapon finish. All exterior categories are available, alongside standard, StatTrak™, and Souvenir versions.

Description

Five-SeveN | Nightshade gives the Counter-Terrorist pistol a patterned finish without covering every weapon surface in decoration. The weapon itself combines accuracy and armor penetration with a 20-round magazine. Forgiving recoil and a slower reload are part of the pistol's underlying character, separate from its floral appearance. The decorated slide draws attention through pale flowers against a dark background, while the lower frame stays comparatively plain. Its Arts and Crafts influence suits players building a loadout around botanical motifs and subdued colors. Valve created the design, giving collectors a developer-made finish rather than a community submission. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions provide different ownership options without changing the skin's identity. Buyers can compare the exterior, exact float value, and version when choosing a copy to buy, sell, or trade.

History and Origin

Five-SeveN | Nightshade was released in CS:GO on December 18, 2013. It arrived with the eSports 2013 Winter Case as part of the Winter Offensive update. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. The skin belongs to The eSports 2013 Winter Collection, which identifies its collection separately from its case acquisition route. Its floral design takes inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement rather than a weapon-specific story or character. The case stopped dropping after Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, so retirement does not prevent players from obtaining the skin. Today, direct purchases through Eneba Skins or the Steam Community Market and trades with other players offer alternatives to opening its case.

Finish Style

Nightshade uses a Hydrographic finish to bring an Arts and Crafts-inspired floral design to the pistol. A dark charcoal base covers the slide and forms the background for the lighter decoration. Cream and muted reddish brown provide the main pattern colors, keeping the palette subdued rather than brightly saturated. Large pale flowers have dark centers that remain visually distinct from their surrounding petals. Curling stems link the blooms, with smaller leaves filling spaces between the larger shapes. The lower frame, trigger guard, and grip are mostly plain blue-gray, balancing the busy upper surface. Small controls and the grip's bottom edge have a gray metallic appearance that separates them from the painted areas. Patches of floral decoration also reach the rail beneath the barrel, extending the pattern beyond the slide without covering the entire lower frame.

Float Value

Five-SeveN | Nightshade has a float range of 0.00 to 0.50, defining the available wear limits for this finish. It comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, with no exterior category missing. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions are available, but version selection is separate from a particular copy's float value and cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

Five-SeveN | Nightshade has Mil-Spec Grade rarity, which identifies its item tier rather than its exterior condition. Opening an eSports 2013 Winter Case gives a 13.32% chance of receiving this skin, although the case itself no longer drops. Professional owners include mixwell, NEO, and n0thing, although ownership alone does not establish current trading demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Cream floral details stand out against the charcoal slide

• Plain blue-gray lower surfaces balance the decorative pattern

• Arts and Crafts styling suits botanical loadouts

• Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions offer different collecting options

Price Range

The live Five-SeveN | Nightshade price range is $1.46 to $40.00. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a particular exterior or version. Exterior and float distinguish individual copies, but buyers should check prices rather than assume a fixed order between wear tiers. Compare standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions separately instead of treating every listing as equivalent. When buying or selling, check the current CS2 skin price alongside the listing's exterior, float value, and version to make a like-for-like comparison.

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 Nightshade. Existing cases can still be purchased and opened, although no new cases drop. The skin's 13.32% opening chance means purchasing a case does not secure this particular result.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy Five-SeveN | Nightshade on the Steam Community Market to choose a listed copy rather than rely on a case-opening outcome. Check its exterior and version, and confirm the float when comparing copies with the same exterior label.

4. Trade with Other Players

Trade with other players to obtain an existing Nightshade copy in exchange for items both parties agree on. Confirm the offered skin's exterior, float, and standard, StatTrak, or Souvenir status before accepting, rather than judging it only by the finish name.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The retired case source limits fresh case supply, but remaining cases can still produce additional Nightshade copies when opened. Professional ownership provides some evidence of interest, while current demand, listing depth, and price trends remain uncertain. For practical trades, compare matching versions and exteriors before deciding whether a particular float justifies the asking price.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case source with no new case drops

• Distinctive Arts and Crafts floral styling

• StatTrak and Souvenir options for collectors

• Professional ownership by mixwell, NEO, and n0thing

The editorial investment rating is medium, supported by the retired case source, accessible pricing, and documented professional ownership. The main risk is uncertain resale demand: remaining cases can still add skins, and ownership evidence does not demonstrate sustained buying interest or future price gains.
