Souvenir FAMAS | ZX Spectron (Factory New)

Skin overview

FAMAS | ZX Spectron is a black rifle finish inspired by old gaming computers, recognisable by the rainbow stripes on the carry handle and side of the receiver and by thin red outlines along the body. In Factory New the black base is deep and even, the stripes are bright with sharp borders, and every small marking on the stock and magazine is crisp.

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.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The whole FAMAS is covered in a matte black and charcoal base, with thin red outlines tracing the carry handle, receiver and trigger guard. A rainbow stripe of red, yellow, green and cyan runs across the carry handle and repeats on the side of the receiver above the grip.

The finish is essentially untouched: the black base is uniform and the red outlines run unbroken around the body. The rainbow stripes on the carry handle and receiver have clean, sharp borders. In game the contrast between black and colour is at its strongest, and all the small lettering on the stock and magazine is legible.

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

Stickers in red, yellow, green or cyan echo the rainbow stripe, while plain black or holo stickers keep the dark body clean. Placing them along the receiver or stock, away from the stripes, keeps the retro-computer motif readable.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the cleaner end of a grade keep the stripes and red outlines noticeably better.
• Inspect the carry handle stripe and the muzzle first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Look at the red outlines along the receiver and trigger guard, because broken lines change the clean retro look quickly.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether they suit the black and rainbow scheme.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the sharpest stripes and unbroken red outlines.
• Sticker crafters who need a fully clean black base.
• The choice for those who want the design exactly as intended.
