Sawed-Off | Rust Coat (Factory New)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Rust Coat is a short pump shotgun finished to look like old, weathered metal, with a dark gunmetal body and warm brown accents on the pump and stock. In Factory New the dark steel stays deep and even, with the rust tones held to light patches on the receiver. This is the most restrained version of the idea: the weapon looks aged in theme but well kept.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The barrel and magazine tube are finished in dark blued steel with a slight sheen. The receiver carries the same dark metal with rust-brown patches spreading over its sides, and the trigger guard stays dark. The ribbed pump forend and the short pistol-grip stock are a warm reddish brown that echoes the rust tone. As a patina finish, the ageing grows with wear: the brown discoloration spreads first over the receiver and the edges of the barrel, then covers more of the metal.

The metal is at its darkest and most even, with rust tones limited to light patches on the receiver. The barrel and magazine tube look clean and uniform. At normal distance the gun reads as dark steel with brown furniture. The forend and stock show their full warm colour.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float within the chosen wear, since the amount of rust on this patina finish changes noticeably across the range.
• Check the receiver first, because the rust patches appear and spread there before the barrel.
• Decide whether you want the dark clean look or the heavy rust, as for this skin higher wear is part of the theme rather than just damage.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag so they fit the aged, earthy colour scheme.
