Sawed-Off | Parched (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Parched is easy to recognise by its cracked-ground texture in beige and dark purple-brown, broken up by turquoise flowers near the receiver. In Field-Tested the base pattern still reads clearly, while edges and raised parts begin to lose paint. The worn spots suit the dry, weathered theme rather than spoil it.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. 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 receiver and the upper barrel carry a cracked-earth pattern of sand and tan plates separated by dark purple-brown lines. Turquoise and teal flowers are concentrated on the receiver, with smaller touches spreading toward the barrel.

Light scuffs appear around the muzzle, the receiver edges and the trigger guard, and the back of the stock starts to rub. The cracked base still reads clearly, and the crackle helps hide minor marks. In game the skin looks close to a cleaner copy at normal distance. The centre of the receiver and its flowers stay mostly clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the top and bottom of one grade can look different on the receiver.
• Inspect the receiver flowers, as they are the brightest detail and fade noticeably on worn copies.
• Look at the muzzle, receiver edges and the back of the stock, which lose paint first.
• On Souvenir copies, check the applied stickers and whether they suit the colour scheme.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the skin for regular play and accept light scuffs.
• Buyers who like how the wear suits the dry, cracked theme.
• A practical everyday option.
