If your loadout leans Mirage and you want something that reads “night market” without neon, weapon | Midnight Palm sits in that lane. Valve dropped it on 2021-09-21 with Operation Riptide pacing, inside the 2021 Mirage Collection—official spray paint, not a workshop pick.

What you’re actually buying

Uncommon tier, wear 0.0–0.5. The sell is simple: gray and purple camo under black palm fronds. No holo circus—value lives in whether the base stays readable and the leaves feel continuous across the body.

Flavor hits the Mirage joke: “The sign says we’re closed!” Low-key, map-lore friendly.

Where it drops

• 2021 Mirage Collection (game drops / collection logic)
• Mirage souvenir packages tied to Majors: Stockholm 2022, Antwerp, Rio, Paris, Copenhagen, Shanghai, Austin 2025, Budapest 2025

Major years move supply. Before you buy on C5GAME or the Steam Market, match year + Mirage on the package—don’t grab the wrong map’s pool by habit.

Inspect before you pay

Spin it in-game. Palm placement on the sides and top matters for how it looks in your hold. Cap at 0.5 wear means “Factory New” isn’t the whole story—compare floats.

• Lower wear: gray-purple layers stay separated; leaves stay sharper.
• Higher wear (still ≤0.5): black foliage and base muddy together—more “midnight,” less camo definition.

For spray paints, you’re shopping clean base + leaf flow, not a rare pattern index chase.

Shop verdict

Buy if: you’re building a 2021 Mirage set and want the “night + camo” slot filled without paying for rarer tiers.

Pass or bargain-hunt if: you need loud flex or strict FN-only aesthetics—this skin whispers; it doesn’t shout.

Expert mutterings: Midnight Palm is the kind of pick collectors remember when the whole Mirage shelf is lined up, not when one gun carries the account. I’d rather overpay a little for a float where the fronds don’t break at the mag line than chase souvenir hype from the wrong Major year. Closed sign energy, open wallet only when the inspect matches your grip.
