AUG | Daedalus (Factory New)

Skin overview

AUG | Daedalus is a Consumer Grade rifle finish with a stencilled isometric labyrinth sprayed across the body, grip and stock. The maze lines run in muted brick red and grey over a dusty base, while the barrel and optic stay dark. In Factory New the stencil edges are crisp and the labyrinth reads as a clean, continuous pattern.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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

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

Appearance in Factory New

The labyrinth stencil covers the lower receiver, the trigger guard and the rear of the stock, with grey maze lines on the body and brick red lines on the stock. The translucent magazine carries a light grey and red maze pattern, and the vertical foregrip has a mottled red and grey-green spray. The barrel, upper rail and scope stay dark gunmetal and are not painted. On worn copies the paint goes first from the edges of the stock, the bottom of the magazine, the foregrip and the trigger guard.

The stencil is intact on every painted part, and the maze lines have sharp edges. The magazine, foregrip and stock show no visible scuffs. In game the rifle looks clean and the labyrinth reads clearly from the first-person view. The unpainted barrel and optic look the same in every grade.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since a low float looks noticeably cleaner on the stock edges and magazine.
• Inspect the foregrip and magazine base first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Souvenir copies exist, so check whether the offer is a Souvenir and which stickers it carries.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, because they change the look of the muted finish.
