P2000 | Dispatch (Factory New)

Skin overview

P2000 | Dispatch covers the pistol in a pale icy base scattered with light blue and red numerals of different sizes. In Factory New the white and blue read crisp, and the large red figures on the grip have sharp, clean outlines. It is the version for buyers who want the number pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The slide carries a pale icy blue base with light blue numerals, small dark red blotches and a darker streak toward the rear. The frame and trigger guard continue the white-blue field with scattered digits, while the trigger, sights and magazine base plate stay dark. The grip is the brightest area, dominated by large red-orange numerals laid over blue ones. As an anodized finish it wears by losing colour to bare metal, starting at the slide edges, the muzzle end, the front of the frame and the trigger guard. The flat sides of the grip hold the colour longest.

The coating is intact across the slide, frame and grip. The pale base looks even and the red numerals have clean edges. In game the light colours stand out clearly in the hand. Nothing on the pistol shows metal.

Which stickers suit it

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear range, since the light base makes edge wear on the slide easy to see.
• Check the slide edges and muzzle first, as they lose colour before the rest of the pistol.
• See whether the copy is a Souvenir and which stickers it carries, as they change the look of the pale slide.
• Check for a name tag or applied stickers on any copy that you want to keep clean.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the pale base and red numerals without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean light slide as a canvas.
• The pick for anyone who wants the pattern in its cleanest form.
