Souvenir AUG | Colony (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Colony is defined by its pale khaki stock and housing set against a grey grip and magazine. In Field-Tested the khaki begins to lose paint on edges and corners, and darker base material shows through in places. The overall colour scheme still reads clearly, giving the rifle a used, field-issue character.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The bullpup stock, the trigger guard area and the housing around the magazine well are painted a flat pale khaki with a slight sand tint. The vertical foregrip and the ribbed magazine are a light grey, while the barrel, muzzle device, top rail and scope stay dark grey to black.

Chips along the stock edges, the butt and the rim of the magazine well become clearly visible, with darker base showing through. Light scratches start to appear on the flatter khaki areas. In game the wear is noticeable on the stock nearest the camera but does not change the overall colour. The middle of the larger panels stays mostly khaki.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir AUG | Colony is 0.06–0.8; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (31% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What it costs in each quality

Among 7 skins of the AUG in the Consumer Grade grade and this quality, this skin ranks 3rd by price, counting from the dearest.

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

The pale khaki body works well as a neutral base for stickers in olive, brown, black or muted gold. Placements on the flat side of the stock read best, while brighter colours stand out strongly against the sand tone.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a solid colour finish shows chips on the stock edges clearly.
• Inspect the butt, trigger guard and magazine well rim, as these lose paint first.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir, because Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied.
• Note any stickers or name tag, as they change the look of such a plain finish noticeably.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who use the AUG regularly and want a cheap skin over the default look.
• Those who like a slightly used, field-issue appearance.
• Balanced pick between look and cost.
