G3SG1 | Chronos (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Chronos covers the sniper rifle's furniture in a hydrographic of watch mechanisms: gears, dials and small parts in blue, violet and purple, with orange decal accents. In Factory New the dense pattern stays sharp, so individual cogs and clock faces can be picked out up close. The dark metal of the receiver and barrel frames the colour without competing with it.

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

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: Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The handguard, stock, pistol grip and the scope tube carry a dense hydrographic of watch mechanisms in blue, violet and purple tones with lighter highlights. Orange-yellow decal accents sit on the front of the handguard and on the stock near the grip. The receiver, barrel, flash hider, sights and magazine remain dark grey metal, which frames the colourful furniture. On worn copies the print fades first on the edges of the handguard, the butt and comb of the stock, the grip edges and the ends of the scope.

The print is complete on every painted part, including the edges of the handguard and the scope ends. Fine details of the gears and dials stay crisp, and the orange decals have clean outlines. In game the rifle shows a vivid blue-violet surface with no visible marks.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the top of a grade look cleaner on the edges.
• Look at the handguard edges, stock butt and grip on the inspect screen, as these lose the print first.
• Check the condition of the orange decals on the handguard and stock, which define much of the skin's look.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure they suit you before buying.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the clockwork details fully sharp.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base around the applied stickers.
• The choice for those who want the skin exactly as designed.
