FAMAS | Colony (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This FAMAS finish is plain spray paint in two colours, khaki on the body and grey on the grip and magazine. In Field-Tested the khaki begins to break on the edges and raised parts, letting darker metal show through in small spots. The rifle still reads as a sandy two-tone gun, now with a used, field-issue look.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver, carry handle, handguard and the long barrel are painted a pale sandy khaki with a slight yellow tint. The pistol grip, trigger guard and magazine are grey, and the rear of the stock combines a khaki butt section with a grey panel near the cheek area.

Small chips show on the carry handle top, the handguard ridges and around the muzzle, with dark metal visible through them. Magazine edges and the butt start to lose some grey and khaki. Flat areas of the receiver and stock still hold their colour. In game the scheme reads clearly, with light scuffing visible on the upper outline.

Which stickers suit it

Muted olive, sand, brown and grey stickers fit the khaki scheme without breaking its military tone. A single dark or matte sticker on the receiver side or handguard stands out cleanly against the pale paint.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float inside the chosen grade, since a low-float copy looks noticeably cleaner on the carry handle and muzzle.
• There is no pattern on this solid finish, so pattern seeds do not change the look.
• Inspect the carry handle top and magazine edges, which lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and a name tag, and for souvenir copies check what the attached souvenir stickers are.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who like a lightly used, service-rifle look on the FAMAS.
• Budget buyers who still want the colour scheme to read clearly.
• A balanced pick between clean looks and low cost.
