AK-47 | Predator (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

In Field-Tested the striped AK-47 | Predator starts to show its spray-paint nature: edges and the magazine lose some colour. The olive and rust stripes still cover most of the rifle, and the slightly weathered look fits the camouflage theme. Many players see this grade as the balanced middle of the range.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver, handguard and stock are painted olive with broad reddish-brown stripes that run across the rifle in an irregular zebra pattern. The curved magazine carries the same stripes, angled along its length, and the pistol grip is mostly in the reddish tone.

Paint loss becomes noticeable along the magazine edges, the receiver corners and the front of the handguard. The stripes on the flat sides of the receiver and stock remain clear. In game the rifle looks lightly weathered rather than damaged. Lower floats in this grade stay close to Minimal Wear, higher ones show more chipping.

Stickers and crafts

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as the magazine and receiver edges change noticeably between low and high copies of the same grade.
• Look at the magazine first, since it is the part that loses paint earliest on this finish.
• Souvenir copies exist and come with their own applied stickers, so check what is on the rifle before buying.
• Note any name tag or extra stickers and whether they fit the olive and rust colours.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Fans of a lightly weathered camouflage style.
• Conclusion: the balanced middle choice for regular play.
