MP7 Verdant Gleam: Stats & Showcase

Ultra-rarity skin with luminescent green-gold color scheme and animated energy patterns. Custom inspect animations, unique muzzle flash, and distinct audio cues.
Why Ultra Tier Matters
Highest rarity category, typically available only through time-limited events or high-tier gacha. Gold Stash Voucher system (launching Feb 1) requires 9,000-15,000 Gold for guaranteed Ultra acquisition through 100-pull pity. Challenge offers it free through completion.
Stat Bonuses
MP7 received significant buffs:
All body damage: +1
Hip fire accuracy: 34 → 44 (29% improvement)
Heavy Trigger attachment: +1 damage
Damage increase reduces shots-to-kill by one bullet in specific armor scenarios. Hip fire buff makes MP7 viable for run-and-gun tactics.
Comparison with Other MP7 Skins
Verdant Gleam distinguishes through:
Exclusive Golden Moon Challenge availability
Animated effects vs static textures
Prestige value demonstrating event completion
Essential for comprehensive MP7 collections

Gold Recharge Strategy: Value Analysis
Best ROI Package
Lava Realm Elite Strike Pass (520 Gold) delivers unmatched ROI through full refund at tier 50 while retaining all rewards including multiple Ultra-tier items. Effectively zero-cost premium experience.
Gold Stash Voucher direct purchases (90-150 Gold per pull) offer poor value. 100-pull pity requires 9,000-15,000 Gold—substantially higher than Strike Pass.
F2P Path Timeline
Zero gold expenditure, demands consistent daily missions across 31 days:
Daily missions: 15-20 min/day for 1-3 vouchers
Weekly challenges: 2-3 ranked sessions/week for bonus vouchers
Event participation: Feb 16 Collection + Feb 19-21 Gifts

MP7 vs Meta SMGs

Return to lobby (mission progress refreshes)
Restart application (force server sync)
Wait 15-30 min (server delays during peak hours)
