AK-47 | Case Hardened Blue Gem Patterns
Although it is not nearly at the level of the most expensive weapon skins at its base level, the AK-47 | Case Hardened can be one of the most expensive skins in CS2 at certain patterns due to the demand for Blue Gem versions of the skin. Certain patterns on the skin sell for unfathomable amounts of money, and if you unbox one, you may be lucky enough to get a pattern worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
This guide features 5 Tiers of AK-47 | Case Hardened Blue Gem Patterns. Each Tier has less and less blue as you go farther from Tier 0, but even Tier 4 patterns have good amounts of blue on them and can sell for lots of overpay!
Tier 0
661
As with all of our Blue Gem pattern guides, we like to separate the #1 overall pattern from the rest of the Tier 1 patterns. The pattern #661 AK-47 | Case Hardened is one of the most expensive and sought-after weapon skins in CS2. There are currently just 124 in existence, many of which have extremely expensive stickers on them, and just 14 in the StatTrak version. A StatTrak Factory New AK-47 | Case Hardened in Paint Seed 661 has never been unboxed, but many estimate that it would be worth upwards of $1,000,000 if unboxed.
Tier 1
151, 955, 321, 387, 670, 179
The first tier of AK-47 | Case Hardened Blue Gem patterns is extremely selective, with just six patterns falling under the category. These patterns have the most possible blue on the skin, and most of them, like the 661, have the majority of their blue near the top of the skin.
Tier 2
592, 4, 905, 13, 168, 429
The second Tier of Ak-47 | Case Hardened skins is equally as selecting as the first tier, with just six possible patterns considered to be Tier 2 Blue Gems. Tier 2 skins feature a barely noticeable difference in the amount of blue in comparison to Tier 1, and unboxing one of these or buying one for market price is nothing to be disappointed about.
Tier 3
555, 442, 978, 139, 828, 969, 750, 695, 103, 112, 733, 844, 228, 868, 434, 698, 74, 996, 760, 375, 708, 823, 690, 791, 278, 917, 463, 711, 849, 92, 82, 450, 512, 310, 713, 11, 721, 236, 172, 950, 147, 782, 322, 363, 189, 961, 497, 430, 887, 426, 862
The Tier 3 category of AK-47 | Case Hardened Blue Gem patterns is far less selective than the first two tiers, and many of these skins feature a significant difference in blue amounts, though they are still extremely cool looking, and can fetch high prices in certain circumstances.
Tier 4
770, 648, 28, 575, 73, 798, 557, 627, 532, 541, 935, 453, 479, 872, 522, 525, 664, 622, 494, 344, 965, 775, 847, 209, 689, 306, 803, 169, 577, 381, 878, 2, 888, 526, 879, 126, 605, 468, 269, 891, 481, 985, 715, 248, 456, 420, 681, 32, 397, 493, 788, 256, 470, 418, 927, 182, 178, 685, 407, 507, 65, 200, 694, 922, 795, 809, 296, 842, 194, 431, 341, 447, 130, 205, 428, 230, 458, 1000, 242, 34, 325, 724
The fourth and final tier of blue gem patterns for the AK-47 | Case Hardened has more than 13x the amount of patterns featured in tiers 1 and 2. That being said, there are still a lot of patterns in this tier that have solid amounts of blue, and that sell for decent values in comparison to the liquid value of the skin.
