Souvenir MAC-10 | Hot Snakes (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Hot Snakes reads as a warm metallic SMG with a reptile texture from grip to magazine. In Field-Tested the snakeskin is still clearly recognisable, though the copper ribs and edges begin to show scuffs. The busy scale pattern hides much of the wear in motion.

Item type: smg. 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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver and barrel shroud are covered in a dark olive and gold snakeskin with clearly outlined scales. Two raised copper ribs run along the top of the receiver, and the trigger guard and sling strap are in the same copper tone.

Scuffs become visible along the copper ribs, the muzzle and the receiver edges, and the magazine bottom shows small patches of bare metal. The scales on the flat sides of the receiver and on the grip are still clear. In game the wear reads mainly as a slightly duller top line, while the snakeskin stays legible.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

The float of Souvenir MAC-10 | Hot Snakes ranges from 0 to 1; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 23% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Havoc Collection with 19 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Gold, bronze and copper stickers blend with the warm snakeskin, while dark green or black ones echo the olive scales. Placements along the receiver side keep the copper ribs on top uncovered.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the copper ribs on top of the receiver are visible in first person and show wear early.
• Look at the bottom of the magazine and the muzzle on screenshots, as these spots lose paint first.
• On Souvenir copies, check the preset stickers and whether they suit the bronze finish.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, because they stay with the item.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Everyday players who want the snakeskin look without paying for a clean grade.
• Those who do not mind light scuffs on the ribs and magazine.
• The practical middle option for regular use.
