Sawed-Off | Lunar Wyrm landed on 2026-07-08 with the Season 5 Armory wave (Arabesque, Tech, Fruits & Racing). Workshop credit goes to rainless. Source: Arabesque collection — no dedicated case drop; you’re hunting collection pulls or the secondary market on C5GAME / Steam.

At a glance

| | |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Rare |
| Finish style | Gunsmith |
| Wear cap | 0.00 – 1.00 |
| Vibe | Deep crimson plate + a massive serpent wrapped across the body — flavor line: coiled in the depths of the world |

Gunsmith means the snake isn’t a flat sticker slap: lighting and metal read change as you spin the view. That’s good for flex, bad if you buy the first float you see.

Inspect & wear — what actually moves

1. Serpent head & fangs — On low wear, check whether the face sits on the receiver or gets eaten by scratches. Mid floats often smear scales along the pump area.
2. Crimson base — Higher wear washes the red toward brown-gray. If you want “blood moon” energy, stay closer to Factory New / Minimal Wear and compare screenshots side by side.
3. Pattern placement — The wyrm’s coil length varies. Some rolls put more body on the stock; others center the head on the barrel. Decide which silhouette you want before you filter listings.
4. Full float range — 0.0–1.0 is allowed, so Battle-Scarred exists. Only buy BS if you like the beat-up cult look; the snake detail dies fast.

Shop verdict

Worth it if: you main Sawed-Off for memes or entry frags, you like red Gunsmith pieces, or you’re filling out Arabesque set slots without chasing Covert prices.

Skip or wait if: you need a meta shotgun skin (MAG-7 / Nova get more play), you hate wear fighting the art, or Rare Gunsmith already sits at a silly premium right after launch — let the first-week hype cool on C5GAME, then grab a float band you actually inspected.

Sweet spot: Minimal Wear with a clean serpent face and uninterrupted crimson on the receiver. Rare tier usually means you’re not paying Covert tax, but double-check the listing float against in-game inspect every time.

Expert mutterings

rainless gave the Sawed-Off something that reads expensive at arm’s length — that’s the Gunsmith trick. The Arabesque drop date is locked to 2026-07-08 across community databases; don’t let anyone sell you a “pre-patch variant.” There isn’t one.

I’d rather overpay slightly for a coil that wraps the pump than save five bucks and get a headless snake. And please, spin inspect yourself — marketplace thumbs lie on red finishes.
