AK-47 | B the Monster

AK-47 | B the Monster is a Covert item from the The Overpass 2024 Collection.

The AK-47 costs $2,700 in-game and is the defining T-side rifle — a one-shot headshot through helmet at any range with 77.5% armor penetration. A staple since the original Counter-Strike in 1999, AK skins dominate Steam Market trade volume. The Fire Serpent went from roughly $50 at release to $4,800+ today.

As a Covert item, AK-47 | B the Monster has a 0.1300% chance per opening (1 in 769). Rarity in CS2 directly affects both supply and price. Higher-rarity skins drop less often, which keeps their market value elevated relative to common drops from the same case.

Prices shown are sourced from Steam Community Market and CSFloat, updated every 6 hours. Additional data from Skinport, Buff163, and YouPin. The Steam Community Market charges 15% total fees (5% Steam fee + 10% CS2 game fee), while third-party sites offer lower rates — CSFloat at 2%, Buff163 at 2.5%, and Skinport around 8% — with real-money cashout options. Beyond wear and float, the pattern index (seed 1–999) also affects price for certain finishes like Case Hardened and Fade, where specific patterns can multiply value many times over.
