Souvenir FAMAS | Afterimage (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Afterimage is recognisable by its red ribbon streaks over navy paint, a combination that stays visible even after use. In Field-Tested the dark base starts to show scuffs along the carry handle and edges, while the large red trails on the body and stock still carry the look. It keeps the character of the skin with visible signs of use.

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.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver and carry handle are painted deep navy with a darker mottled texture, and red ribbon trails with pink and light-blue edges wrap around the top of the handle and the body. The stock carries the densest cluster of ribbons, with tangled red streaks across the cheek area and butt.

Wear spreads along the carry handle edges and the front of the receiver, where the navy paint shows scuffs and light patches. The red trails on the handle start to fade, while those on the stock and body remain bright. In game the overall look is intact and the scratches read as texture. The stock surface and the centre of the body still look fairly clean.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir FAMAS | Afterimage is 0.02–0.4; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (61% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir FAMAS | Afterimage belongs to The eSports 2013 Winter Collection, which holds 12 skins.

It drops from eSports 2013 Winter Case (on sale since Jul 9, 2014).

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

Red, pink and light-blue stickers match the ribbon colours and blend into the design. Dark navy or holographic blue stickers on the body keep the look calm and unified. Placing stickers on the receiver side leaves the dense ribbon cluster on the stock visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the edges of the carry handle, since they show wear first on this skin.
• Compare the float position within the grade, especially in Field-Tested where condition varies the most.
• Check that the red ribbons on the stock are bright, as they carry most of the design.
• Note any stickers or name tag and whether they fit the blue and red scheme.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the recognisable blue and red look for everyday use.
• Buyers who prefer to pick a low-float copy within the grade.
• Conclusion: the practical option for playing with this skin.
