About AK-47 | Wild Lotus
The AK-47 | Wild Lotus in Field-Tested is the most accessible wear tier of CS2's most aesthetically distinctive AK. With wear values 0.15-0.38, FT Wild Lotus retains ~80% of FN's hand-painted floral detail at $10,000 — a 65% discount from FN's $29,200 pricing that opens this prestige skin to a much wider collector base.
Visual Differences vs FN: At FT float, the lotus blossoms remain clearly identifiable, but show subtle wear on the magazine and stock edges. The hand-painted brushwork's finest details (gold leaf accents on the hammer) become slightly softened. Top-pattern FT Wild Lotuses (Pattern 386, 1141, 723) still command +15-25% premiums.
Supply: FT Wild Lotus is the largest wear segment — approximately 42% of ~3,200 active Wild Lotuses are FT (~1,340 specimens). Most active trades happen in this tier.
Market position: FT Wild Lotus has appreciated +28% per year through 2025-2026, slightly outpacing FN (+24%). The lower entry price makes it the most-purchased Wild Lotus tier among new collectors entering the segment, driving demand harder than the supply-locked top tiers.
