PP-Bizon | Thermal Currents (Factory New)

Skin overview

PP-Bizon | Thermal Currents is a Consumer Grade hydrographic finish in warm red and rust tones with silver bird silhouettes scattered over the body. In Factory New the wine-coloured base looks saturated and even, and the pale birds stand out sharply against it. This is the grade for anyone who wants the pattern exactly as designed.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, handguard and helical drum magazine are covered in an orange-red hydrographic layer with darker wine and brown swirls running through it. Silver-white bird silhouettes are placed across the top of the receiver, the handguard cutouts and the side of the magazine. The front cap of the drum and the folding stock frame are finished in solid red, while the pistol grip, muzzle device and small fittings stay dark. On worn copies the paint first leaves the edges of the receiver, the rim of the drum magazine, the stock frame and other raised parts.

The hydrographic layer is intact on every part, from the receiver to the stock frame. The bird silhouettes have crisp outlines and the red base shows no scratches. In game the weapon looks clean and evenly coloured from any distance.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end show noticeably less edge wear.
• Look at the receiver edges and the rim of the drum magazine, as these lose paint first.
• Check how many bird silhouettes are clearly visible on the side shown in first person.
• Review any applied stickers or name tag, especially on Souvenir copies.

• Sticker crafters who need a clean background for light-coloured stickers.
