Mac-10 Case Hardened (Blue Gem Guide)

This guide will be ranking the Tier 1 Mac-10 Blue gems and have lists of Tier 2 Mac-10 Blue gems.

These are all the best cherrypicked Mac-10 Case Hardens out of the 1000 patterns this paint seed can have.

There won't be any prices listed as that will only be made from natural player demand over time.
(This is only a guide to rank what seeds are the best)

Please do not add me for price checks. They are volatile and change very often due to the demand, so I cannot tell you accurately and therefore will not be accepting invites for price checks.

Case Hardened Template

There are a total of 1000 seeds possible in every Case Hardened pattern based skin. Each are randomized and have to land on a certain template to be considered a good or bad pattern.

The Mac-10 Gun Format

Mac-10 has 3 parts of the gun where the patterns will differ from each other, this results in a full blue Mac-10 Blue gem being impossible because it only uses one template on an awkward positioned gun.

The three portions are colored so you can see which parts are which

Portion 1 wraps all the way to the backside and topside as a whole
Portion 2 only covers the side of the butt and the bottom.
(All Portion 2's will be a duplicated pattern on the backside as well)
Portion 3 Is the back of the Mac-10 or the Butt

So how will the Mac-10 Blue gems be ranked?
It will be ranked on all important features the gun (Mac-10) provides and how good it really is on all of the aspects listed below.
~ The Color of the Blue
~ 1st Animation Inspect
(AKA backside inspection due to Mac-10 animation inspecting that area first)
~ Regular animation inspect
~ Holding Regularly in-game
~ How clean it is
~ How well the 3 portions connect with each other

Tier 1 (Rank #1) Pattern 95
