AUG | Amber Fade (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Amber Fade on the AUG is a two-tone airbrushed gradient, green into amber, laid over chrome. In Field-Tested the colours are still clearly visible, but scuffs on the edges and raised parts let the bare metal show through. The rifle keeps its warm rear half, now with a more used, working look.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The main colour sits on the polymer body: olive green around the grip and trigger guard gradually warms into amber and copper-orange toward the rear of the stock. The barrel, upper rail and scope stay dark grey, which frames the gradient from above.

Scratches spread along the edges of the stock, the area around the grip and the rear of the body, showing silver metal. The colour is still readable, though the amber section looks less uniform. The middle of the body panels remains largely clean.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of AUG | Amber Fade is 0–0.4; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (57% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear, since lower values keep the edges of the stock cleaner.
• Inspect the rear corner of the body and the stock edges, as they lose paint first.
• Check the Souvenir version for applied stickers if that matters to you.
• See whether a name tag is present and fits your plans for the item.
