MAC-10 | Acid Hex (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAC-10 | Acid Hex is an Industrial Grade SMG skin covered in a hydrographic pattern of lime and yellow-green hexagons with darker green outlines. In Factory New the cells look sharp and even across the whole body, and the acid green has no breaks. This is the version to choose for the cleanest, most saturated look.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The whole receiver is coated in a hydrographic hex pattern: irregular lime and yellow-green cells separated by darker green lines, with the size and shading of the hexagons shifting from panel to panel. The long magazine and the grip carry the same pattern, and the yellow tone is strongest on the front of the grip. The barrel stays dark with a lime-tinted threaded tip, while the trigger guard, trigger and wire stock are painted in a yellow-gold shade that matches the scheme. The sling is a solid olive-lime strap. On worn copies the paint first wears from the top edges of the receiver, the corners of the magazine and its base plate, and the edges of the grip, exposing dark metal underneath.

The hex pattern is complete on every part, with crisp outlines between the cells. The magazine edges, receiver top and grip carry no visible marks. In game the gun reads as a solid, bright acid-green block. The yellow-gold trigger guard and stock look uniform and clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end show less edge wear on the receiver and magazine.
• Inspect the magazine corners and base plate, as they lose paint first and are very visible in the first-person view.
• Souvenir versions exist, so check whether a copy carries souvenir stickers and whether they suit you.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, because they affect how the green finish looks as a whole.

Who should buy Factory New

• Players who want the brightest, unbroken version of the hex pattern.
• Collectors building a clean green or Industrial Grade set.
• Conclusion: the best choice when the full saturated look matters most.
