AK-47 | VariCamo Grey (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | VariCamo Grey is a plain Industrial Grade camouflage finish, a mottled grey pattern laid over the whole rifle. In Factory New the small light and dark patches stay crisp and the coating keeps its even, slightly matte tone from muzzle to stock. It is the cleanest way to own this quiet military look.

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.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The hydrographic VariCamo pattern covers the entire AK-47: receiver, dust cover, handguard, pistol grip, stock and magazine. It is made of small irregular patches of light grey, mid grey and dark olive grey on a dark base, giving a dense, slightly pixelated texture. The curved magazine looks lighter, with pale streaks running along its ribs, while the stock and receiver carry the darker, more even mottling. On worn copies the paint first leaves the magazine edges and ribs, the front of the handguard, the front sight and the top edges of the receiver.

The coating is intact on every part, with sharp borders between the grey patches. The magazine streaks and the darker mottling on the stock look exactly as on the preview. In game the rifle reads as an even grey-green camouflage. Nothing on the weapon shows bare metal.
