Valve brought us a treat! Along with the end of Operation Broken Fang, a fresh case was dropped. It features 17 brand-new skins and the gloves from the Broken Fang case. Join CS.MONEY to explore the fresh case!
Covert skins
The case contains two new skins of the highest rarity: M4A4 In Living Color and USP-S The Traitor.
M4A4 In Living Color was created by kadzor and Nannou. This couple has been providing us with top-of-the-line case skins for quite a while now. You must have seen their gorgeous M4A1-S Player Two in-game. And if you dug it, M4A4 In Living Color should be part of your collection as well.
One look at USP-S The Traitor is enough to recognize the author of this skin. Or rather, the group of authors. The new skin for the USP was created by the joint efforts of OniLolz, Zaphk, and the 2Minds studio. The item makes a fantastic addition to Tarot card skins.
Incidentally, if you were surprised to see that the skin has different names in the Steam Workshop and in the game, here’s a fun fact for you. In the Workshop, the skin is called “The Hanged Man” and depicts a man suspended upside down by his leg. This used to be a very common punishment for traitors in Italy. So, the new name given by Valve hits the bull’s-eye.
Classified skins
The second-rarest category of skins includes three new additions, all of which are incredibly vibrant. These are MP9 Food Chain, XM1014 XOXO, and Galil AR Chromatic Aberration.
Let’s start off with Galil AR Chromatic Aberration, the second skin by kosear to feature optic distortions. The first one was SSG 08 Parallax. The fresh skin is brighter thanks to the pink and purple accents. Also, special kudos for the C4 code on the buttstock.
MP9 Food Chain and XM1014 XOXO are even brighter than Galil AR Chromatic Aberration. Both skins are gorgeous. More importantly, neither the submachine gun nor the shotgun had such vibrant and juicy skins before the Snakebite case. The only question is: what stickers would look best on these skins? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below this post.
Restricted skins
The “purple” skin additions include two whose appearance we predicted: MAC-10 Button Masher and Desert Eagle Trigger Discipline. We’ve discussed these skins in our social media, so be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already done so. Besides these, the case contains AK-47 Slate, Negev dev_texture, and P250 Cyber Shell.

The skins are really badass and will certainly make splendid additions to many players’ loadouts. Separate credit for adding AK-47 Slate. The totally black AK is a genuine canvas for those into experimentation with stickers.
Mil-Spec
Finally, the remaining seven skins are Mil-Spec, and there are some cool specimens among these as well. For example, the translucent Glock-18 Clear Polymer or R8 Revolver Junk Yard with a banana sticker on the grip. Too bad the revolver itself is actually collecting dust at the metaphorical junk yard now.

Rare drop from the Snakebite Case
Finally, the rarest drop is the gloves. The Snakebite Case contains the same gloves that were part of the previous chest. 24 pairs at once. Too bad it’s almost impossible to actually obtain them. It’s cheaper to buy them from us instead of opening the chests.
So these were the contents of the brand-spanking-new Snakebite case. It’s hard to say right now how much these mesmerizing skins will cost: prices are always inflated after the release. However, they will return to normal in a few weeks. By the way, you can follow price dynamics on our wiki.
