G3SG1 | Chronos (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This G3SG1 skin is built around a watch-mechanism print in saturated blue and violet, with orange decals marking the handguard and stock. In Field-Tested the edges of the handguard, stock and grip start to show bare spots, while the centre of the pattern keeps its colour. Because the print is so busy, the wear blends into the motif more than it would on a plain finish.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Well-Worn.

Appearance in Field-Tested

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.

Bare metal spots appear along the edges of the handguard, on the stock's butt and comb, and on the grip edges. The ends of the scope tube begin to lose colour, and the orange decals may show small chips. The central areas of the handguard and stock keep the clockwork print, so in game the rifle still reads as clearly blue and purple.

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 Field-Tested

• Players who mostly see the rifle in game, where the busy print hides edge wear.
• Buyers looking for a colourful G3SG1 at a moderate budget.
• A practical grade for everyday use.
