Souvenir AK-47 | Predator (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

In Field-Tested the striped AK-47 | Predator starts to show its spray-paint nature: edges and the magazine lose some colour. The olive and rust stripes still cover most of the rifle, and the slightly weathered look fits the camouflage theme. Many players see this grade as the balanced middle of the range.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver, handguard and stock are painted olive with broad reddish-brown stripes that run across the rifle in an irregular zebra pattern. The curved magazine carries the same stripes, angled along its length, and the pistol grip is mostly in the reddish tone.

Paint loss becomes noticeable along the magazine edges, the receiver corners and the front of the handguard. The stripes on the flat sides of the receiver and stock remain clear. In game the rifle looks lightly weathered rather than damaged. Lower floats in this grade stay close to Minimal Wear, higher ones show more chipping.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of Souvenir AK-47 | Predator ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 31% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Dust Collection with 9 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in olive, brown, tan or muted gold blend with the striped camouflage. Placing them on the receiver side above the magazine keeps them on a large flat area of the pattern. Bright saturated colours tend to clash with the earthy palette.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as the magazine and receiver edges change noticeably between low and high copies of the same grade.
• Look at the magazine first, since it is the part that loses paint earliest on this finish.
• Souvenir copies exist and come with their own applied stickers, so check what is on the rifle before buying.
• Note any name tag or extra stickers and whether they fit the olive and rust colours.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want a full striped look for everyday matches.
• Fans of a lightly weathered camouflage style.
• Conclusion: the balanced middle choice for regular play.
