Souvenir AUG | Syd Mead (Factory New)

Skin overview

AUG | Syd Mead is a Classified rifle finish built around a deep red body with gunmetal panels and fine technical line work, carrying the look of a concept-art weapon. In Factory New the red stays saturated and the thin panel lines, yellow and green accents and small markings are crisp across the whole rifle. This is the grade for buyers who want the artwork exactly as designed.

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.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and stock are covered in deep red paint broken up by dark grey panels, thin engraved-looking lines and small yellow and green accents along the side. The barrel is mostly gunmetal with red sections and a dark muzzle, while the scope stays in neutral grey.

The red paint is even and saturated across the receiver, barrel and stock. The thin panel lines, small markings and yellow and green accents are fully intact. In game the rifle looks exactly like the clean image, with sharp contrast between red and grey. Nothing on the weapon shows exposed metal.

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

Red, black, silver and gold stickers sit well with the crimson and gunmetal scheme. Holo or foil stickers with a futuristic or technical style match the concept-art character, and placements on the receiver side keep the red body visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the cleaner end look noticeably better in the middle grades.
• Inspect the magazine base, muzzle and body edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at any applied stickers or name tag, which can add to or clash with the red artwork.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure their look suits you.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the artist design with every line intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean red base.
• In short: the choice for a flawless showpiece.
