Sawed-Off | Brake Light (Factory New)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Brake Light is a Mil-Spec Grade shotgun skin with a glossy red receiver crossed by white spiral bands. The wooden forend and stock and the dark barrel are left in their usual look, so the red receiver stands out at the centre of the weapon. In Factory New the anodized red stays deep and even, and the white bands keep sharp edges.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver carries the whole finish: a candy-red anodized base with broad white and light grey spiral bands that wrap around its sides. The red continues onto the trigger guard and the small parts around it. The barrel and magazine tube stay dark gunmetal, while the ribbed pump forend and the stock remain natural wood. As an anodized finish, it wears by losing colour at the edges of the receiver and on raised details first, showing bare metal underneath, while the flat sides hold the paint longest.

Factory New copies show the red receiver and white spirals without visible damage. The colour stays even across the sides of the receiver and on the trigger guard. In game the finish reads as a clean, glossy red block between the dark barrel and the wooden stock. The edges of the receiver keep their paint.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position, since the range is narrow and a low Minimal Wear copy looks almost like Factory New.
• Inspect the edges of the receiver and the trigger guard, where the anodized red wears off first.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir, because those come with preset stickers.
• Note any name tag or applied stickers and decide whether they fit the red and white look.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Players who want the red receiver in its cleanest form.
• Collectors who keep only Factory New copies.
• Sticker crafters who need an undamaged base.
• A clean, simple choice for a bright Sawed-Off.
