G3SG1 | Arctic Camo (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Arctic Camo is an Industrial Grade finish for the Terrorist-side auto-sniper, covered in a hydrographic snow camouflage of white, pale grey and cold blue-teal blotches. In Factory New the blotches keep sharp edges and the white areas stay bright against the dark barrel and magazine. This is the cleanest version of a simple, utilitarian winter pattern.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The handguard, upper receiver and scope tube carry the main camo: irregular white, light grey and blue-teal blotches with a few darker grey accents. The barrel, muzzle device, front sight and magazine stay dark gunmetal, which frames the light pattern. The pistol grip and stock are painted in a pale grey base with softer camo patches, so the rear of the rifle looks calmer than the front. On worn copies the paint goes first from the edges of the handguard, the scope rings and tube, and the raised parts of the stock, exposing dark metal underneath.

The camo is intact on every part, with crisp blotch edges and bright white areas. The Factory New range for this skin is very narrow, so all copies look practically identical. In game the rifle shows a clean light pattern contrasted by the dark barrel and magazine. Nothing on the handguard, scope or stock shows wear.

What to check before buying

• Check the float within the grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn keeps noticeably more paint on the handguard and scope.
• Inspect the scope tube and handguard edges, as they lose paint first on this finish.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so make sure their placement suits you.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, because they do not affect the finish but change the overall look.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the cleanest possible copy of this pattern.
• Sticker crafters who need an untouched light base.
• In short: the choice for a pristine winter look.
