G3SG1 | New Roots (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | New Roots is a Mil-Spec Grade sniper rifle finish that covers the whole weapon in a dense spray-painted pattern of vines and flowers. Olive, khaki and bright green outlines over a warm tan base make it read as an overgrown, almost woven surface. In Factory New the lines stay crisp and the small flower shapes are easy to separate from the stems.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The vine and flower pattern runs over the receiver, handguard, magazine, grip and stock, and continues onto the scope tube and rear sight. The base is a warm khaki and tan, overlaid with olive stems, bright green outlines and small reddish-brown accents inside the flower shapes. The barrel and muzzle device stay dark metal, framing the busy painted body. On worn copies the paint first chips from the edges of the receiver and handguard, the scope rings, the magazine corners and the end of the stock, revealing dark metal underneath.

The spray paint is intact on every part, including the scope, magazine edges and stock. Thin green outlines stay sharp and the reddish-brown flower centres are clearly visible. In game the pattern reads as a dense, even texture of green over tan. Nothing on the rifle shows bare metal apart from the unpainted barrel and muzzle.

Souvenir version

There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Gold, olive and brown stickers blend with the tan and green base, while a single bright green or holo sticker can echo the outlines. Flat surfaces of the receiver and magazine give the cleanest placement, since the dense pattern swallows small or dark stickers.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare the float within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn keeps noticeably cleaner edges.
• Inspect the scope rings, handguard edges and magazine corners first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether their look matches what you want.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag, because they change how the busy pattern reads.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the sharpest version of the vine pattern.
• Sticker crafters who need a fully intact base to build on.
• The pick for anyone who wants New Roots without any compromise.
