MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The MAC-10 here carries a toxic green skull-and-bones print over chrome, which gives the skin its radioactive theme. In Field-Tested the green starts to break up along the edges of the receiver and bare metal shows through in places. From a normal distance the skull pattern and the overall colour still come across clearly.

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 Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The finish is applied to the upper receiver, which is coated in bright acid green with a dense pattern of lighter yellow-green skulls and bones outlined in darker green. The grooves along the top of the receiver pick up the print, and the chrome base under the semi-transparent layer gives the colour a slight sheen.

Wear becomes visible on the front and rear edges of the receiver, the top ridges and the corners, where chrome shows through the green. Some skull outlines near these edges start to fade. The middle of the side panels still holds a clean, saturated print. In game the skin reads as green and patterned, with light scuffing on the outline of the receiver.
