MAC-10 | Amber Fade (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Amber Fade is a simple, single-idea finish: a warm metallic fade on the receiver while the rest of the weapon stays in its stock grey. In Field-Tested the colour is still clearly there, but scuffs along the edges let the chrome underneath show through. From normal distance in a match the gradient remains the main thing you notice.

Item type: smg. 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.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver carries the whole finish: golden yellow at the rear and top, warming into orange along the sides and shifting to a green tint near the front and around the barrel mount. The paint is transparent, so the chrome base gives the colours a metallic sheen.

The edges of the receiver, the top ridges and the area around the controls show clear scuffs where chrome comes through. The large flat sides still hold most of the gradient, so the colour transition remains readable. At normal distance in a match the skin looks amber with some lighter wear lines. The grey parts and sling look slightly duller.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of MAC-10 | Amber Fade is 0–0.4; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (57% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less chrome on the edges.
• Look at the receiver edges and top ridges in the inspect screen, as these are the first places the paint wears through.
• Compare screenshots of several copies, because the balance of yellow, orange and green on the receiver can differ slightly.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change how the clean amber body looks.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want a bright MAC-10 and are fine with visible edge wear.
• Budget buyers looking for the amber colour at a lower grade.
• A practical pick for everyday play.
