G3SG1 | Orange Kimono (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Orange Kimono pairs a dark graphite body with a solid orange stock and pistol grip, and a faint geometric lattice runs across the receiver and handguard. In Factory New the orange is even and saturated, and the thin pattern lines on the dark metal stay crisp. This is the cleanest version of the contrast that defines the skin.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and handguard are dark graphite grey, covered with a subtle darker geometric lattice that is visible only up close. The barrel, flash hider and magazine stay plain dark metal, while the scope tube carries orange geometric lines over a black base. The stock and pistol grip are solid bright orange, with a small orange accent on the front of the handguard. On worn copies the orange paint chips first along the edges of the stock, the butt and the grip, then the lattice on the receiver and the lines on the scope fade.

The orange stock and grip are uniform, with no chips on the edges. The lattice on the receiver and the lines on the scope are sharp. In game the rifle shows a clean split between dark metal and bright orange. Every part of the weapon looks untouched.

• Look at where the float sits within its wear range, because a low float in a grade keeps the orange noticeably cleaner.

• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether they fit the orange and black scheme.
