Souvenir AUG | Bengal Tiger (Factory New)

Skin overview

AUG | Bengal Tiger covers the rifle's body in a cream base with bright orange zones and black tiger stripes, while the barrel, scope and top rail stay dark. In Factory New the stripes are sharp, the cream is clean and the orange keeps its full saturation. This skin's float range starts slightly above the lowest possible value, so the Factory New band is narrow.

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

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The stock and lower body are painted in a cream base with black tiger stripes, shading into bright orange on the upper rear of the stock and on the forward part of the body. The vertical foregrip is orange with cream accents, and the muzzle has a small orange touch.

The cream base is clean and the black stripes have sharp edges across the stock and body. The orange on the stock, grip and muzzle is at full brightness. The trigger guard and magazine base show no chips. In game the rifle looks bright and high-contrast at any distance.

Factory New quality — float range 0.06–0.07

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

Orange, black, white and gold stickers match the tiger scheme and blend into the striped stock. Placements on the dark receiver and top rail stand out cleanly against the grey, while stickers on the cream body work best in muted or matching tones.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the light base shows chips more readily than darker finishes.
• Check the trigger guard, foregrip edges and magazine base on the inspect screen, as these parts lose paint first.
• The tiger stripe hydrographic shifts between copies, so compare how the stripes fall on the stock if the look matters to you.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change how the copy looks and may not suit everyone.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest stripes and the brightest orange.
• Players building sticker crafts on an unmarked light base.
• Conclusion: the top grade for a flawless look, with a narrow window to choose from.
