Souvenir FAMAS | Sergeant (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This FAMAS finish relies on tone rather than graphics: a dark metal body with uneven patina depth and a few lighter steel accents. In Field-Tested the overall look stays almost the same, and the first light scuffs on the edges blend into the aged character of the finish. It is a practical way to get the full Sergeant look without paying for the cleanest grade.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver and body of the FAMAS are covered in a near-black gunmetal patina with darker diagonal bands that create uneven depth across the surface. The carrying handle stays dark, with lighter steel showing along its outer edges, while the barrel and muzzle remain plain dark metal.

Light scuffs appear along the edges of the carrying handle, the receiver corners and the bottom of the magazine. The large flat surfaces of the body and stock still keep an even patina. At normal distance in game the difference from Minimal Wear is hard to notice, because the wear blends into the aged finish. The grip highlights and the overall dark tone remain clear.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir FAMAS | Sergeant is 0.1–1; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (26% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Phoenix Collection with 13 skins in total.

The source is Operation Phoenix Weapon Case (on sale since Feb 19, 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

The dark gunmetal body works well with military-style stickers in olive, tan, silver or black, keeping the sober look intact. A single metallic or holo sticker on the side of the receiver adds contrast without breaking the theme, while bright multicoloured stickers tend to clash with the restrained finish.

What to look at before you buy

• The skin has no Factory New grade, so a low float within Minimal Wear is the cleanest look you can get.
• Check the carrying handle edges and the magazine first, as these show bare metal earliest.
• On Field-Tested copies compare floats in the inspect view, since the visible difference is small and paying more may not change much.
• Look at applied stickers and name tags, as they stand out strongly on the plain dark body.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the full look for regular CT-side matches.
• Buyers who notice that the wear barely shows at normal distance.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
