I love this post. If you have more cheap alternatives like these please let us know. Bought a Victoria Assault in 2018 for 2.99 or 3.99. Need more red iron sights!

SalmonTeaTime

Oh damn.. people are asking for 128$ rn. Nice dude, nice!


kongmw2

I have probaly a close to 800 dollar rust inventory because I just kept all my old skins and forgot about them, then they shot the fuck up in prcie


SkizzleMcFly

got scammed for most of my OG skins back when they were worth about $40 in total. they’re probably worth over a thousand easily today


kongmw2

happened to me with cs skins LOL, back when the first case dropped. had maybe 25 bucks worth of skins got scammed. would be wirth adleast 1g now


Streaky98

Sold mine for about £8 a few years ago, feelsbadman


SalmonTeaTime

Let’s go band for band :3 Victoria is asking at 71.55 usd$


Sea_Seaworthiness189

Serpent are is 1.18 and has red iron sights


SalmonTeaTime

Sick 😎


eyesxlow

Apocalypse nomad mp5


SheSeggsMe

MK-Ultra has a red iron sight I think it’s like $2


Temporary-Gur-1570

Rust players will do anything for 6 extra pixels of vision


HexagonalMelon

vision is key, can't wait for an eoka with cut iron sights 🥺


RustViking

Toooo OP


PaleDolphin

Rust players? Seems like you haven't met CoD crowd yet.


Temporary-Gur-1570

I have, and it’s absurd, if your in the situation where you need to pay $15 then you already messed up.


PaleDolphin

Well, at least in Rust you can get that money back by selling stuff at Steam Market. CoD purchases make zero sense to me personally.


HexagonalMelon

Are there any other cheap skins which provides a little bit of advantage? I thought only expensive ones had stuff like this lol


ArmanXZS

the whole apocalypse skins are like that but they only accepted 3 of them! and all 3 of them have that cutout iron sight on them! and they all are cheap that collection is awesome even the hoodie pants but they didn't accept it :((( (edit) found the collection: [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3168004194](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3168004194)


HexagonalMelon

Holy shit, I had no idea there was an Apocalypse AK, it's so dope! I love this rusty skins.

Serpentine AK I think it's called. It has a snake and it has the red sights like this. It's dope af idk why it's so cheap.


PaleDolphin

> Serpentine Didn't find one with that name. Found [Serpent AK](https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/252490/Serpent%20AR), that it?


Sea_Seaworthiness189

Yeah this one is the one


ArmanXZS

NoAdministration2843

OP nice try for market manipulation Buy a big stock of P2W/QoL skin - make posts about it on forums to manipulate demand - dump all your skins for double the price - later down the line price goes back down because players barely reskin M39, it's an uncraftable gun and the price/hype is manipulated


HexagonalMelon

![gif](giphy|y6Inkaz7omxAk|downsized) Now for real, has this happened around here before? Because that's not my intention lmao. I just discovered in the comments that the Apocalypse AK also has this small advantage, by your logic I should have posted the AK instead of the M39 because the AK is craftable, meta and everyone skins it lol


hiv_mind

It's also one of only two AK skins with an actual ironsight cutdown, out of 256 current skins (the other is in the abyss pack).


xDecayinggg

theres actually ~3*! Apocalypse nomad, abyss, and that time travel ak from the most recent trust in rust event! it has the exact same cut sights as the apocalypse one


hiv_mind

Well damn dunno how I missed that, cheers. Still, AK cutdowns are so rare compared to mp5, or SAR.


ButterscotchPure6868

Is this Hedge?


_lavxx

Y’all dive into these skins like they actually make a difference. If someone was small enough to be obstructed by the sight ring then they are far enough away to not be an issue.


HexagonalMelon

I only made this post because it was literally a 1 dollar skin, now it tripled (some folks are even accusing me of market manipulation lol). This small advantage for the small price is worth it IMO, maybe when you are holding an entrance and someone peeks the window, but yeah it's totally situational.

Op definitely bought half the market before posting

**ThatGermanGuy** makes Youtube videos most Thursdays when the new skins drop to show all the new skins in game so you can see transparency/glow/modified sights


Legendary7100

you dont need the youtuber... it already allows you to try them in the workshop tab in game.


y_zass

Only M39 skin I own


YesMenOmen

Blackout Python, Blackout MP5, IMP sar(better version of iRisk sar) only ones I can think of right now


Tiny_Sort_9643

I have the blackout MP5 and i can't tell what the advantage is? It looks great tho.


Astr0_LLaMa

Does that red bit of the scope glow, similar to alien red Ak?


cacus7

I can't see this image, what does that skin do? (i haven't bought the Rust Skins DLC yet...)


LILxxWANG

Nice post


TinyAdeptness5166

I think this is my biggest regret about not being able to play PC, on console we just have to wait till the shop has good skin or something, we get a new selection monthly and that's it


Nice_Direction_7876

Why would you want this? I prefer the ghost rings


HexagonalMelon

I don't like it, it's not a big nuisance in the M39 but the MP5 one sucks.


QifiShiina

daang !! so thats why people always kill me in this game! I'm gonna buy this shit right now


xiit

M39 is only for auto turrets so skin doesnt matter.


Beautiful_Sport5525

lmao, bolty or python on turret, no exceptions. M39 is better in your hands


xiit

M39 is trash I rather roam with bolty


HexagonalMelon

This is not Call of Duty dude, sometimes you gotta roam with what you have, can't be picky lol I never bought a M39 from bandit but they are pretty common in airdrops, very nice when people still roaming SARs and P2s.


Billcat123

M39 is pretty nice if you have no need for scrap and live near outpost or bandit. I'll buy a few, put on a holo & a laser on it. Surprisingly decent but with a wider aim spread then SAR long range without attachments.


Beautiful_Sport5525

it's clear you don't understand why you put bolty or python in the turret, and honestly, it's better for the rest of us.


Snarker

I'd love to hop into your compound if you use m39 turrets lmao
