Sawed-Off | The Kraken

Sawed-Off | The Kraken is Sawed-Off — a CS2 weapon. A hand-painted octopus sprawls across this Sawed-Off, tentacles curling around the barrel and stock in deep sea-blues and inky purples. The creature's suckered arms wrap the shotgun in maritime menace, painterly and dramatic from grip to muzzle. Its rarity is Covert · Red: Covert (Red) — sits among the top rarities for standard weapons, and these are the priciest skins you'll find on them.

It belongs to the "The Winter Offensive Collection" collection and is pulled from the "Winter Offensive Weapon Case" case. You can grab it in these conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn (float spanning 0–0.4). A StatTrak edition exists, complete with a kill counter, and it carries a higher price than the standard copy. A tournament Souvenir edition is around too, and collectors are especially fond of it. Pricing opens at roughly $176 and shifts with the condition.

Getting hold of it: the quickest route is to buy a finished copy on a marketplace (the links and prices sit above), though you can also land one from a case or drop, or swap for it with another player. As an investment it rates as well-liked and fairly easy to move on. Before you commit, line the price up across a few platforms, double-check the condition (and the pattern, on skins that carry one), and only buy where escrow protection is in place.
