R8 Revolver | Mauve Aside (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Mauve Aside is recognisable by its plum cylinder and the swirled acrylic pour pattern on the grip, set against a plain dark frame. In Field-Tested the colours still read clearly, but the edges of the cylinder and the raised parts of the grip start to show scuffs. The overall look stays tidy at normal viewing distance.

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

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The barrel, top rail and upper frame are dark gunmetal, while the lower frame, trigger guard and hammer area are bright polished steel. The cylinder is painted a deep plum with silver chamber faces, and the trigger carries the same plum tone.

Wear becomes visible on the cylinder edges, the trigger and the raised finger grooves of the grip, where small patches of the pour pattern fade. The muzzle and rail may show light marks. At normal distance the colours still read well and the grip pattern stays recognisable.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the grade, since lower values keep more of the grip pattern intact.
• Check the cylinder edges and trigger on the inspect screen, as the plum paint wears there first.
• Inspect the grip swirls on worn copies to see how much of the pour pattern is left.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit your plans.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the plum colour scheme for everyday use.
• Budget buyers who still want a recognisable grip pattern.
• A practical grade that keeps the look at normal distance.
