If you main the Negev for memes or full-auto holds, Annihilator (“Big Mouth”) is one of those Chroma 2 skins you spot instantly: custom monster face wrapped around the body, with wear that’s part of the design—not random paint chips. The flavor line “Come back here, I’m talking to you!” matches the name and the stare-down vibe; pop inspect while you spray and the mood lands fast.

Shop verdict

Worth it if you want a mythical-tier Chroma 2 piece with strong identity on a gun that already dominates the screen. Skip or go budget if you need FN gloss—the float floor is 0.14, so every copy starts in Minimal Wear territory or worse. For play and flex, mid wear often looks intentional; for collection, source (case + 2015 custom-workshop lineage) matters as much as float.

Wear & inspect checklist

• Float range: 0.14 ~ 0.65 — no Factory New tier.
• Low wear: monster art reads cleaner on handguard, barrel, and mag sides.
• High wear: aging and scratches ramp up by design; note which panels fade first in 3D inspect.
• Before you buy: on C5GAME or Steam Community Market, open several listings at your target wear band—thumbnails lie on Negev silhouettes.

Where it comes from

• Chroma 2 Case (collection drop 2015-04-15)
• Chroma 2 Collection — same family for case openings, trade-ups, or set chasing
• Case widely tied to The Hunter and the Hunted update (2015-05-26) if you’re hunting old-box nostalgia

Expert mutterings

EGO DEATH shipped ANNIHILATOR | Negev (Workshop 399217412); Valve picked it up and the in-game finish became Annihilator. Mythical slot in the case gives it a clear “not blue junk” feel without being top-tier cover-art money. Negev isn’t everyone’s daily driver, but that’s why this skin works as a personality pick: high ROF, huge mag, and a face that argues with you. Trade-up grinders and Chroma 2 completionists—remember the cu_negev_annihilator internal id when cross-checking databases. Display or list on C5GAME only after you’ve compared in-game inspects side by side; one clean mag-side monster can beat a “prettier” float with a butchered handguard.
