MAC-10 | Arabesque Mosaic is a Restricted CS2 SMG skin from The Arabesque Collection, released with the Season 5 Armory update in July 2026. Inspired by traditional mosaic craftsmanship and geometric ornamentation, it gives the MAC-10 an elegant appearance that contrasts with the weapon's aggressive profile.
Visual Description
Arabesque Mosaic decorates the MAC-10 with repeating geometric patterns inspired by handcrafted stone mosaics and Islamic decorative art. Rich shades of blue, turquoise, ivory, and gold create a layered composition across the receiver and magazine, while darker accents frame the intricate artwork. The Gunsmith finish preserves the weapon's industrial shape while allowing the decorative details to stand out clearly. Under Counter-Strike 2's updated lighting, the contrast between the colorful patterns and exposed metal surfaces becomes especially noticeable. Lower wear levels retain crisp edges and vibrant colors, whereas heavier wear gradually softens the fine details through scratches and fading.
History and Origin
MAC-10 | Arabesque Mosaic was introduced in July 2026 as part of the "Season 5, Armory, and More" update. It belongs to The Arabesque Collection and carries Restricted rarity. The skin supports the full float range from 0.00 to 1.00, making every standard exterior available. Rather than coming from a traditional weapon case, it is obtained through its collection. Eligible tournament souvenir packages may also include Souvenir variants connected to the collection.
Popularity and Usage
The skin appeals to players looking for a decorative SMG that differs from modern military or cyber-themed finishes. Its colorful geometric artwork pairs naturally with gold stickers and other Arabesque Collection skins, making it a popular option for coordinated inventories. The MAC-10 is widely used during aggressive eco and anti-eco rounds, ensuring the finish receives frequent in-game visibility. Despite its detailed design, the artwork remains clean and readable during fast-paced gameplay.
Price Formation Factors
Market value is influenced by Restricted rarity, the availability of The Arabesque Collection, and overall player demand. Exterior condition and float value are important because they directly affect the sharpness of the mosaic artwork. Souvenir status, desirable sticker combinations, collector interest, trade-up activity, and future collection supply can all contribute to changes in market value over time.
