MAG-7 | Chainmail

MAG-7 | Chainmail is a CS2 skin for the Counter-Terrorist-exclusive MAG-7 shotgun, part of the Heavy weapon category. Silver-gray chainmail loops cover the receiver and pistol grip, with muted gold details adding contrast. Its metallic palette suits players who prefer intricate patterns without bright colors. Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested exteriors are available, along with Souvenir versions.

Description

MAG-7 | Chainmail is a CS2 shotgun skin that combines a patterned silver base with restrained gold accents. The Counter-Terrorist-exclusive weapon delivers strong close-range damage and uses magazine-style reloads. Its Anodized Multicolored finish gives the patterned surfaces a metallic character rather than a flat, solid-color appearance. Interlocking loops across the receiver and pistol grip provide the design's main visual identity. Dark gray sections interrupt the detailed pattern, keeping the weapon's separate components visually distinct. The finish suits metallic loadouts and players who prefer decorative detail within a subdued color scheme. Professional players s1mple, Hiko, and es3tag own the skin, providing concrete examples of player interest without establishing broader market demand. Buyers can compare exterior, float value, and standard or Souvenir status when choosing a copy to use, collect, or trade.

History and Origin

MAG-7 | Chainmail was released on November 18, 2019. It arrived in CS:GO through the Operation Shattered Web update, establishing its original release context before its availability in CS2. The skin belongs to The Norse Collection, which also determines the collection inputs for its trade-up route. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. Its flavor text connects Naomi, Valeria's bodyguard, with exceptional loyalty within The Phoenix. Today, the Steam Community Market offers a direct purchase route for existing copies, separate from the skin's original introduction. Player-to-player trading provides another way to acquire the finish by exchanging items with another owner. Trade Up Contracts can also produce Chainmail from eligible Norse Collection inputs, although the result is random rather than guaranteed.

Finish Style

Chainmail uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style to combine metallic-looking surfaces with a detailed repeating pattern. A semi-transparent hydrographic layer places the chainmail design over a silver base coat. Dense interlocking loops cover the receiver and pistol grip, creating the appearance of linked metal rings. The pattern looks darker across the receiver and brighter toward the front of the grip. Muted gold accents follow the top rail and muzzle collar, adding warm contrast to the silver-gray body. Rectangular side panels and small controls carry additional gold details without replacing the main chainmail motif. The fore-end stays mostly plain dark gray, giving the patterned receiver a clear visual boundary. The protruding magazine is gray, with a black band positioned near the grip. Together, the intricate loops and simpler solid-color sections give the finish a detailed but controlled appearance.

Float Value

MAG-7 | Chainmail has a float range of 0.00 to 0.22 and comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. Exterior comparisons should stay within those available conditions. Souvenir versions exist, but there is no StatTrak™ version; version availability is separate from the copy's cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

MAG-7 | Chainmail has an Industrial Grade rarity classification within The Norse Collection. Its collection chance is 4.0%, about 1 in 25, which should not be mistaken for the success rate of a Trade Up Contract. Existing copies can be bought or traded, so the rarity grade alone does not establish current market supply.

Why it’s Popular:

• Dense chainmail loops give the receiver and grip a distinctive visual texture

• Silver-gray surfaces and muted gold accents suit understated loadouts

• Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested choices

• Souvenir availability adds another version to compare

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for MAG-7 | Chainmail is $11.44 to $25.94. These bounds cover the whole item, not fixed prices for a particular exterior or version. Buyers can compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested listings, checking each copy's float value alongside its standard or Souvenir designation. Matching those details helps separate cosmetic condition from version differences when deciding which listing to buy or how to price a copy for sale.

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. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract using 10 Consumer Grade skins from The Norse Collection produces 1 Industrial Grade skin from that collection. Chainmail is a possible result, but selection is random among the collection's Industrial Grade skins. Its collection chance should not be used as the success rate for this contract.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market offers a direct way to buy MAG-7 | Chainmail rather than relying on a random contract outcome. Compare the listing's exterior, float value, and standard or Souvenir designation before choosing a copy.

4. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trades allow an owner to exchange items for MAG-7 | Chainmail directly with another player. Before accepting, confirm that the offered copy has the intended exterior and float value, and check whether it is standard or Souvenir.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Ownership by s1mple, Hiko, and es3tag supports player interest, but does not establish broad demand or reliable resale turnover. Current listing volume and supply trends are uncertain, so sellers should compare matching exteriors and versions before setting a price. Neither professional ownership nor the Souvenir label guarantees a profitable resale.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Professional ownership by s1mple, Hiko, and es3tag

• Distinctive silver chainmail pattern with muted gold accents

• Standard and Souvenir versions offer different collecting options

• Part of The Norse Collection

The editorial investment rating for MAG-7 | Chainmail is medium, supported by professional ownership, collection identity, and distinct standard and Souvenir options. The main risk is uncertain resale demand and supply, so the finish should not be treated as a dependable short-term flip.
