Souvenir FAMAS | Survivor Z (Factory New)

Skin overview

FAMAS | Survivor Z is a Mil-Spec Grade custom paint job: red masking-tape stencil shapes and white scratch marks over a dark gunmetal base. The finish is distressed by design, so even a Factory New copy carries painted scuffs and slashes. At this grade the red is at its most saturated and the stencil edges are sharp.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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: 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 carry handle are covered in a dark grey, metallic base with irregular red stencil blocks and thin scratch lines across them. The rear of the stock carries the most visible detail, a set of white slash marks over red and grey patches.

All red stencil areas are fully covered and the white slash marks on the stock are crisp. The scratches visible on the surface are part of the painted design, not wear. In game the rifle reads as dark grey with strong red patches. Every edge, including the carry handle and magazine, looks clean.

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, white, black and grey stickers match the stencil scheme, especially with a worn or paper look. Placements on the receiver side work best, where the dark base leaves room between the red blocks.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear, because a low float in Field-Tested looks noticeably cleaner than a high one.
• Look at the carry handle edges and the magazine base, which lose red paint first.
• Remember that the scratches are painted into the design, so do not mistake them for wear when comparing copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, since they change how the stock and receiver read.

Who should buy Factory New

• Players who want the brightest red and the sharpest stencil edges.
• Collectors building clean sets of the same skin.
• A good base for sticker crafts with bold colours.
• Conclusion: the cleanest version of a deliberately distressed finish.
