Souvenir AK-47 | Frontside Misty (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Frontside Misty pairs a glowing turquoise colour with dense white curls on a dark finish, which gives the AK-47 a cold, high-contrast look. Field-Tested copies show the first scuffs on the magazine and the edges of the receiver, but the swirl pattern still reads clearly. It is a practical middle ground between appearance and cost.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver is painted bright cyan with dark inserts and white swirling ornament, and cyan lines also run along the rear sight area and the top of the barrel. The handguard and gas tube are dark charcoal covered with large white curls outlined in black.

Scuffs become visible on the magazine, the edges of the receiver and around the muzzle. The white curls on the magazine side start to break up in places, and the cyan loses some brightness on raised edges. The handguard and the middle of the stock still hold the pattern well. In game the rifle reads as lightly used, with the colour scheme fully intact.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in cyan, white, silver or holo-blue tones blend naturally with the arctic palette. Black and white designs work well on the dark handguard and stock without breaking the swirl ornament. Placements along the receiver suit bolder accents, while warm colours such as red or orange create a strong deliberate contrast.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies at the clean end of a range look noticeably better.
• Inspect the magazine curve and the receiver edges first, as they are the first places where this finish loses paint.
• Look at the screenshot or in-game preview of the stock, where scratches on the white curls are easy to miss in a small image.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, as they change the look and may not suit the cyan and white scheme.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the bright palette for everyday matches at a reasonable cost.
• Buyers looking for a balanced option where the pattern still reads clearly.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle grade for regular play.
