R8 Revolver | Desert Brush (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The finish is a brushed sand-and-brown camouflage that covers the whole revolver, ending in a pale cream grip. In Field-Tested the edges of the barrel, cylinder and hammer begin to show bare metal, while the main streaks are still easy to read. The worn spots fit the dusty desert theme.

Item type: pistol. 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.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The barrel, top rail, frame and cylinder are covered with a hydrographic pattern of brown and tan streaks over a pale sand base, applied in loose brushed strokes. The underbarrel block repeats the light sand tone, and dark metal stays visible in the rail slots and cylinder flutes.

Wear spreads to the cylinder rims, the hammer and the edges of the barrel, where bare metal starts to show. Light scuffs may appear on the bottom of the grip. In game the camouflage is still clearly readable, and the scratches pass for dust on a desert finish. The sides of the frame and most of the grip still look clean.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in Field-Tested looks close to Minimal Wear.
• Inspect the muzzle, rail edges, cylinder and hammer, because these lose paint first.
• Look at the lower part of the cream grip, where scuffs stand out against the light colour.
• Note any stickers or name tag, as they change the look but rarely the value of a Consumer Grade item.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players on a budget who still want the camouflage to read clearly.
• Those who like light wear that fits a desert theme.
• A practical everyday option.
