Five-SeveN | Hot Shot (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Hot Shot keeps its character through the colour split between the olive slide and the cream grip, with green picking out the controls. In Field-Tested the light frame starts to show scuffs and the slide edges lose some paint. The overall scheme still reads clearly at normal distance.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The slide is painted a flat dark olive, with the serrations at the rear left in the same tone. The frame, trigger guard and stippled grip are a pale cream, close to bone white.

Scuffs appear along the slide edges and around the muzzle, and the cream frame shows light grime. The green on the sights and trigger begins to thin at the tips. In game the scheme still reads clearly, with wear noticeable mainly up close. The flat sides of the slide and the centre of the grip stay mostly intact.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the pale frame shows grime more readily than darker finishes.
• Look at the slide edges, muzzle and sights first, as these lose paint before the rest of the pistol.
• Inspect the cream grip and trigger guard for dirt, which is easy to miss in small previews.
• Note any stickers or name tag, since they can change how well the copy matches your plans.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the colour scheme and do not mind light scuffs.
• Buyers looking for an everyday CT pistol skin.
• In short: a practical middle option.
