Appearance in Factory New

The handguard, receiver, carry handle and stock are painted in deep navy and violet, with black lotus petals spread across them and thin lighter outlines that give the flowers shape. A lighter floral accent sits on the side of the receiver near the trigger group. The suppressor, barrel, pistol grip and magazine stay in dark grey and black, which frames the painted parts. On worn copies the paint goes first on the edges of the handguard, the carry handle and the corners of the stock, then on the flat sides of the receiver.

The paint is complete on every part, with no marks on the handguard edges or the stock. The light outlines of the petals stay crisp and the violet tone is even. In game the rifle shows a clean dark purple body with a clearly defined floral pattern. Nothing on the weapon looks worn.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since lower values keep the handguard edges and petal outlines cleaner.
• Inspect the handguard, carry handle and stock corners, as they lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, because they change how the dark finish reads.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, since both versions exist for this skin.
