Negev | CaliCamo (Factory New)

Skin overview

Negev | CaliCamo is a hydrographic desert camouflage of sand, tan and dark brown blotches, with rusty orange accents on the top cover and the box magazine. In Factory New the blotches keep sharp outlines and the orange parts look evenly coloured. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the camo exactly as it was printed.

Item type: machinegun. 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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and the top cover are covered in a mottled camo of pale sand, tan, mid-brown and dark brown blotches, with the rear sight area and carry details picked out in rusty orange-red. The barrel and the muzzle stay dark steel, which frames the light camo from the front. The front grip and the skeletal stock carry the same sandy pattern, while the box magazine adds a large orange-red panel on its side over the camo base. On worn copies the paint goes first from the muzzle end, the edges of the top cover, the magazine corners and the raised parts of the stock, exposing grey metal beneath.

The camo is intact across the receiver, top cover, grip, stock and magazine. Blotch borders are crisp and the orange-red panels keep a uniform tone. In game the pattern reads as a clear, even desert camo. Nothing on the weapon shows exposed metal.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear on this busy camo.
• Look at the muzzle end, the top cover edges and the magazine corners, because these lose paint first.
• Note whether the listing is a Souvenir copy, as those come with stickers already applied.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag, since they change the look of the light camo.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the camo with crisp blotch edges and even orange panels.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean light base.
• The best choice when a flawless look matters more than saving.
