weapon | 鹤吻莓 landed with the Harlequin Collection on 21 January 2026, tied to the Fourth Season Skins drop. It’s a Rare skin with a solid-color (纯色) finish, wear 0.00–0.65, and an internal pattern id soe_pink_cranes—on the surface, pale pink and white with cranes and florals, deliberately airy rather than heavy layering. The official blurb even nods to pairing it with sherry; treat that as flavor text, not a stat boost.

What you’re actually buying

Harlequin is the home set—filter by collection on C5GAME or Steam Community Market if you’re completing the line. Valve handled design in-house (no Workshop author credit), which often means crisp color blocks and readability at range—here, that matters because the whole sell is the pink-white field and the bird/flower read.

Inspect checklist

Spin the gun in Inspect:

• Do cranes and blooms sit where your grip, sight picture, or sticker slots won’t bury them?
• At the same float, centered art and intact pink edges usually age better on resale than off-center copies.
• Solid fills mean wear shows up as greying on whites and pink transitions before it eats the whole motif—high floats can look “washed” fast on this palette.

Wear tiers, plain talk

| Mindset | Float band | Take |
|--------|------------|------|
| Main inspect flex | Low end of 0.00–0.65 | Whites stay cleaner; easier to love long-term |
| Set completion only | Mid floats | Fine for the shelf, expect softer pink |
| Budget filler | Upper range | Cheap, but pink-white skins rarely “bounce back” once dull |

Shop on C5GAME without getting baited

Match listed wear to screenshots from real in-game inspect, not oversaturated thumbnails. Compare a few listings at the same float—you’ll see pattern placement swing price more than a tenth of wear on this type.

Verdict

Worth it if you want a Harlequin rare with a calm, inspect-first identity and you’re willing to pay for lower wear or a well-placed pattern. Skip or go cheap if you need a loud flex skin—this one whispers. For collectors, keyword Harlequin beats guessing case names.

Editor’s aside

Pink-white solids are wear magnets; if you’re not inspecting before checkout, you’re gambling on grey. Sherry optional.
