CZ75-Auto | Hydraulics (Factory New)

Skin overview

CZ75-Auto | Hydraulics pairs a pale mint slide cut by jagged black stripes with an orange-red accent and a magazine painted to look like clear polymer with the cartridges visible inside. In Factory New the light base colour is even and bright, and the black shapes have crisp, sharp edges. This is the version where the contrast between the cold slide and the warm orange detail reads best.

Item type: pistol. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Appearance in Factory New

The slide is painted pale mint, almost white, with jagged black stripes running across its sides and an orange-red band near the rear above the frame. The extended barrel ends in a muzzle piece with black and light rings, set off by a bronze-toned front block. The magazine is painted to resemble clear polymer, showing a column of brass cartridges with small orange markings, and "HYDRA" is painted above the trigger. The frame and grip stay dark grey with black grip panels, which frames the bright slide. On worn copies the paint goes first on the top and front edges of the slide, the muzzle area and the magazine edges, while the light base colour also collects visible grime.

The slide paint is uniform, with no marks on the light base or the black stripes. The muzzle rings, orange band and magazine artwork are fully intact. In game the pistol looks bright and sharp at any distance. Everything on the weapon reads as clean.

Which stickers suit it

Black, white and orange-red stickers echo the slide graphics and keep the scheme coherent. Placing them on the pale part of the slide gives the strongest contrast, while holographic or overly colourful stickers can clash with the restrained palette.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, because the pale slide shows scuffs and grime more readily than darker finishes.
• Inspect the top and front edges of the slide and the muzzle, as these lose paint first.
• Look at the orange-red band and the magazine edges on worn copies to see how much of the accent is left.
• Review any applied stickers or name tag to make sure they match the light colour scheme.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the slide and black stripes in their cleanest form.
• Players building a sticker craft on a flawless light base.
• The choice for those who value the sharpest contrast.
