(4 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Who could have thought that Fiat Multipla of gun design can have a cool and worthwhile skin to its name? P90 has been a staple gun for those who like to rush the round to try and counterbalance their possible lack of aim. It has a lot of ammo in its magazine, it doesn’t slow you down that much and its accuracy doesn’t decrease while running. If it’s not enough, it also pierces armor like butter. The real drawbacks are the slow reload and a really high loss of accuracy in the long-range. Still, the P90 is the beast of the doorways and dark corridors.
Even more, the dragon design on the skin we will be talking about here seems so fitting. For sure, with the bullpup shape of the P90, there’s a lot of space to include a nice drawing. However, it takes some skill to make a very slick design on such a bulky object. Let’s see what else Emerald Dragon P90 has to offer.

I have a P90 Emerald Dragon – how do I sell it?

Why all the hype for P90 Emerald Dragon?
The most practical answer to that question is that it’s a pretty uncommon skin that comes from Operation Bravo case, which makes it an incredibly valuable commodity on its own. The purely mathematical analysis shows that its median price is on a constant rise, only getting better with age. But not to be all cold and calculating here – the P90 Dragon Emerald is a very universally aesthetic skin. Not only good for a peashooter but overall… it’s eye candy. Maybe the googly eyes are ridiculous to some, but it is done in a more retro style that is imposed without a background on the metal body, which generally looks more realistic with simpler decals.
Summary
Among the good old, legacy skins of CS GO P90 Emerald Dragon emerge as both a valuable collectible item and an exception of a rule for the silver rank spray gun’s ugliness. Its prices vary a lot, which can also be caused by a very wide-spanning visual quality of its wear levels. Having one is a real treat and selling one – even a low-float one – is a nice gain.
