P250 | Contamination (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Contamination wraps the pistol in a dense layer of radioactive skulls in sand and cream tones. In Field-Tested the slide and muzzle start to show grey metal along the edges, which suits the grimy, contaminated theme rather than spoiling it. The skulls on the frame and grip remain clearly readable.

Item type: pistol. 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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The whole pistol is covered in one hydrographic print of skulls and bones in pale yellow and cream, separated by dark olive and brown fills. On the slide the motifs run lengthwise and are cut by the ejection port and serrations, while the frame and grip show the largest, most readable skulls.

Grey metal shows along the muzzle, the top edges of the slide and the rear serrations. The skulls on the slide lose some sharpness, while those on the frame and grip stay mostly whole. At normal distance the wear blends with the grimy colour scheme. The trigger guard area and the centre of the grip still look clean.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of P250 | Contamination is 0–0.83; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (28% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade keep noticeably more paint on the slide.
• Inspect the muzzle and slide edges first, because that is where the print wears through.
• On Souvenir copies, check which stickers come applied and whether they suit you, as they cannot be swapped without scraping.
• Check for a name tag if you want the original item name to be shown.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like the grimy theme and do not mind edge wear.
• Buyers looking for an affordable themed P250.
• A practical pick where the wear fits the contaminated look.
