FAMAS | Afterimage (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Afterimage is recognisable by its red ribbon streaks over navy paint, a combination that stays visible even after use. In Field-Tested the dark base starts to show scuffs along the carry handle and edges, while the large red trails on the body and stock still carry the look. It keeps the character of the skin with visible signs of use.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver and carry handle are painted deep navy with a darker mottled texture, and red ribbon trails with pink and light-blue edges wrap around the top of the handle and the body. The stock carries the densest cluster of ribbons, with tangled red streaks across the cheek area and butt.

Wear spreads along the carry handle edges and the front of the receiver, where the navy paint shows scuffs and light patches. The red trails on the handle start to fade, while those on the stock and body remain bright. In game the overall look is intact and the scratches read as texture. The stock surface and the centre of the body still look fairly clean.
