Souvenir MAC-10 | Amber Fade (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAC-10 | Amber Fade covers the compact SMG's receiver in a smooth gradient that runs from golden yellow through orange to a greenish tint near the front. In Factory New the transparent paint lies evenly over the chrome base, so the glow of the gradient stays deep and uninterrupted. This is the version for buyers who want the fade exactly as it was painted.

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

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver carries the whole finish: golden yellow at the rear and top, warming into orange along the sides and shifting to a green tint near the front and around the barrel mount. The paint is transparent, so the chrome base gives the colours a metallic sheen.

The gradient is intact over the whole receiver, with no breaks in the colour along the edges. The chrome shine under the paint is even, so the amber looks rich in both first-person view and the inspect screen. Grey parts look clean and uniform. Nothing distracts from the fade itself.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir MAC-10 | Amber Fade ranges from 0 to 0.4; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 18% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Gold, holographic and warm orange stickers blend with the amber receiver, while dark or green stickers echo the front of the gradient. Placing stickers on the rear part of the receiver keeps the colour transition at the front visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less chrome on the edges.
• Look at the receiver edges and top ridges in the inspect screen, as these are the first places the paint wears through.
• Compare screenshots of several copies, because the balance of yellow, orange and green on the receiver can differ slightly.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change how the clean amber body looks.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the fade with no exposed chrome at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for gold or holographic stickers.
• The best choice if the gradient itself is the reason you are buying.
