Five-SeveN | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

At Field-Tested this case-hardened Five-SeveN starts to look like steel that has seen use. The blue and gold patches are still clearly visible but somewhat duller. Light scratches appear along the slide edges and the muzzle. Many buyers like this lived-in look on a metal finish.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The finish sits mainly on the slide. The front half and the muzzle area are covered in mottled olive, gold and brownish patches.

Scratches become visible along the slide edges and around the muzzle. The colour patches turn slightly duller. In game the blue and gold still read well, and the wear looks like natural use. The middle of the blue zone and the grip mostly stay intact.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of Five-SeveN | Case Hardened ranges from 0 to 1; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 23% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Which stickers suit it

Gold, blue and holo stickers echo the heat colours of the slide. Placing them on the grey frame keeps the case-hardened pattern fully visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at the pattern on the inspect screen, because the amount of blue and gold differs on every copy.
• Check the float within the wear range, since higher values show more scratching on the slide edges and muzzle.
• Inspect the top of the slide closely, as this is where colour loss shows first.
• Note any stickers or name tag and decide whether they suit your plans for the pistol.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like case-hardened steel with visible signs of use.
