🔷 What is the AK-47 Vulcan?
The AK-47 | Vulcan is one of CS2's enduring fan favorites — a futuristic blue-and-white rifle skin that has maintained strong demand since its release in 2014. Part of the Huntsman Collection (the same collection that originally housed the Howl), the Vulcan combines clean geometric lines, a bright blue color scheme, and white accents into a sleek, modern design.

📜 History
The Vulcan launched in the Huntsman Collection alongside the M4A4 Howl. While the Howl became Contraband and skyrocketed in value, the Vulcan has remained a solid, accessible fan favorite that appeals to players who want a premium-looking AK-47 without spending thousands.
The Vulcan is still actively unboxable from Huntsman Cases, which keeps a steady (if slow) supply of new copies entering the market. This differentiates it from supply-locked skins like the Fire Serpent or Wild Lotus.

❓ FAQ
Is the Vulcan still unboxable?
Yes. The Vulcan is still available in the Huntsman Case, which means new copies continue to enter the market. This keeps prices lower than supply-locked skins.
Vulcan vs. Fire Serpent — which is better?
Different tiers entirely. The Fire Serpent (~$4,800 FN) is a legendary collector's piece with constrained supply. The Vulcan (~$400 FN) is an excellent mid-tier premium AK that's accessible to most players.
