Negev | Raw Ceramic (Factory New)

Skin overview

Negev | Raw Ceramic covers the machine gun in a single matte tan paint, with no pattern or accents. In Factory New the coat is even from muzzle to stock, so the gun reads as one clean sand-coloured shape. Grey-black hardware and the ammo box keep it from looking flat.

Item type: machinegun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, barrel shroud, handguard and folding stock are painted in one matte tan shade with no pattern. The muzzle device, top rail and sights carry the same sand colour, while smaller hardware, the feed chute and the ammo box stay dark grey and khaki, framed by tan panels. The result is a monochrome desert look built on contrast between the light coat and the dark fittings. On worn copies the paint chips first on the muzzle, rail edges, sight posts, stock corners and the edges of the receiver, showing dark metal underneath.

The tan coat is intact on every part, including the muzzle and stock edges. The colour is even across receiver, barrel and handguard. In game the gun reads as a clean, uniform sand shape. All dark fittings keep a crisp border with the paint.

What to look at before you buy

• On a solid-colour finish the float decides the look, so check where the copy sits within its wear grade.
• Look at the muzzle, top rail and stock corners in the inspect view, since paint chips show there first.
• There is no pattern to hunt, so pay only for float, stickers or a name tag.
• StatTrak™ does not exist for this skin, while Souvenir copies do and usually carry stickers already applied.

Who the Factory New quality suits
