Souvenir G3SG1 | Flux (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Flux is built on the contrast of metallic purple and silver over a black rifle. Well-Worn copies show clear scratching on the raised parts and edges, so the purple looks patchier and the grey metal shows through more often. The overall colour scheme is still easy to read at a glance.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the 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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The handguard, receiver and stock are covered with glossy metallic purple panels, broken up by flowing silver-grey shapes that run along the body. The scope tube is purple with black end caps, while the barrel, flash hider and sights stay dark.

Scratches spread from the edges onto the purple panels of the handguard, receiver and stock, making the colour patchy. The scope tube and magazine lose much of their paint. In game the purple is still recognisable, but the gloss looks noticeably duller.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir G3SG1 | Flux is 0–0.9; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (8% 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 Shadow Collection with 16 skins in total.

It drops from Shadow Case (on sale since Sep 15, 2015).

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

Purple, silver and holographic stickers match the metallic finish best. Black or chrome-style stickers on the receiver keep the dark, restrained look, while bright warm colours tend to clash with the purple.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since lower values keep more purple on the scope and edges.
• Look at the scope tube and magazine first, as they show wear earliest on this finish.
• On worn copies, check how much purple remains on the stock and handguard panels.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag to make sure they fit what you want on the rifle.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want a Classified finish with recognisable colours.
• Players who like a used, patchy metallic look.
• An affordable way to keep the purple theme in the inventory.
