Shop verdict: weapon | Vendetta is a mood piece, not a flex neon skin. Mil-Spec gunsmith from Operation Broken Fang fits budget theme builds and Broken Fang set collectors; skip it if you want clean factory-new bling.

First look in inspect

Gunsmith here means layered metal, etching, and deliberate aging—not a flat recolor. The first impression is heavy and used: corrosion pockets, painted areas that have seen friction, and honest wear. That matches the weapon line about years on the gun and dying in the wielder’s hands. In inspect, rotate slowly under default lighting before you judge from a thumbnail.

Wear: where the story actually lives

Full float range 0.0–1.0. Low wear keeps more painted structure readable; mid and high wear push corrosion and scuffs forward so the “grudge carried for years” read gets louder. Buying tip: pull two listings side by side—one ~0.08–0.15 FN/MW band and one ~0.35+—and compare whether rust streaks and edge transitions stay coherent on slide, frame, and grip. Gunsmith skins punish bad screenshots; in-game inspect beats market zoom every time.

Provenance (facts that matter for price)

• Drop date: December 3, 2020, with Operation Broken Fang.
• Case / collection: Broken Fang Case; part of the Broken Fang collection theme line.
• Designer: Workshop creator emu, implemented by Valve.
• Rarity / finish: Mil-Spec, Gunsmith.

Older operation skins aren’t hype machines every week, but theme completeness still moves certain buyers on C5GAME and Steam.

Who should buy

| You | Take it? |
|-----|----------|
| Broken Fang nostalgia or set completion | Yes—strong thematic match |
| CZ75 main looking for loud color | Probably no |
| Budget gunsmith with character | Yes, especially if wear tells the story you want |
| Flip-only trader | Treat as slow, story niche |

Listing checklist on C5GAME / Steam

1. Confirm Gunsmith and Mil-Spec on the item card.
2. Read float; decide if you want clean paint (lower) or max drama (higher).
3. Inspect for consistent aging across faces—not a single muddy smear on one side.
4. Compare ask vs other floats in the same wear band; gunsmith detail varies listing to listing.

Expert muttering

I file Vendetta under “Broken Fang era gunsmith”—not the case’s flashiest pull, but one of the clearer storytelling finishes in the set. emu didn’t chase saturation; they sold age. If you’re filling a Broken Fang shelf, it’s a sensible pick at Mil-Spec money. If you only care about bright play skins, pass without guilt. And please, inspect before you cart—half the value is in how the corrosion catches light, and that never survives a tiny icon.
