Souvenir G3SG1 | Safari Mesh (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Safari Mesh is a Consumer Grade finish for the terrorist-side autosniper, sprayed in khaki and olive through mesh fencing and cardboard stencils. In Factory New the net pattern stays crisp across the handguard and receiver, and the sand tones look even from muzzle to stock. It is a quiet field-camo look rather than a showpiece.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole G3SG1 is coated in a khaki and olive base with a fine diamond-shaped net sprayed over it in a slightly lighter sand tone. The mesh is most visible on the long handguard, the receiver and the magazine, where large flat surfaces carry the pattern.

Factory New copies of this skin sit in a narrow band at the cleanest end of its range, because the float does not start at the lowest possible value. The paint is intact on every part, and the mesh lines are sharp on the handguard and magazine. In game the rifle reads as an even khaki shape with a visible net texture up close.

Factory New quality — float range 0.06–0.07

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

Muted stickers in khaki, olive, brown or matte black blend into the mesh camouflage without breaking it. Placed on the receiver side or the flat handguard panel, a single dark or earth-toned sticker keeps the field look intact. Bright colours will stand out sharply against the sandy finish, which works only if contrast is the goal.

What to check before buying

• Factory New exists only in a narrow float band for this skin, so compare it with a low Minimal Wear copy before paying more.
• Within Field-Tested and Well-Worn, check the front of the handguard and the magazine bottom, where paint goes first.
• The mesh pattern is uniform, so pattern placement does not change the look in any meaningful way.
• There is no StatTrak version, but a Souvenir version exists, so check which one you are buying and whether its stickers suit you.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the cleanest available copy of a narrow Factory New range.
• Players building a tidy, low-key terrorist-side loadout.
• Conclusion: a choice for those who value the cleanest state over savings.
